A Day of Small Things

 My shoulder and neck aren't feeling much better, despite the day's rest. I did a bit of weaving, and the seasonal Changing of the Sofa Cover.

It's looking a bit Shabby Chic meets Cottagecore  around here. Nigel Slater for food ideas, old wedding ring quilt on the sofa, you see the back, which I like better, antique hooked rug, getting more and more Fred Bear as it goes, oak coffee table scored long ago at the dumpster, Freecycled lovely tray, gifted handwoven napkin.

That's it for seasonal changes, except for unplugging the fireplace insert.

Meanwhile the herb corner is doing well on the deck

Working clockwise starting bottom left, chives, Thai basil, sage, curry leaves, Italian basil. Further back is what's left of the thyme plant, and the insistent lemon balm which gets everywhere. The potatoes are here too 

In the other side of the deck the flowers are germinating nicely, so the cheapo seeds were in fact a good idea. 

I'm resisting the temptation to knit and spin, much as I'd like to, because I need my shoulder to stop hurting first , with the help of ice, and some pills I've found. Not much pain relief here because I don't get much pain. But I found a few Advil generic tablets in the bathroom cabinet. 

So that's Chez Boud today, moaning bravely, listening to a mystery audiobook, occasionally putting in a jigsaw piece, poor me!

The puzzle solution as you probably quickly found is

If anyone found a different solution, let us know.

Happy day everyone, mind your shoulder and any other body part that's in need of TLC.
