SORRY FOR BEING ABSENT FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!

Вторник, 08 Июля 2014 г. 20:43 + в цитатник
Hello everyone!! So very sorry for being absent for so long but health issues have been keeping me from knitting, crocheting or anything much at all. I have 3 severe illnesses and at different times they individually or together at times stop me for long periods of time being able to do very much.

Anyway lets talk about more happier things. For a change Scotland is having a good summer, so everyone is happier and more relaxed. Also the Commonwealth Games are in Scotland shortly, so people are getting excited about that. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival starts at the begining of August for nearly the whole month and everyone loves it because there is something for everyone and people come from all over the World to perform or just to see what it is like.performers are a mixture of well known acts and complete novices. Edinburgh comes alive and the capital is buzzing with excitement with 'live' entertainment on the street everywhere, plays, commedians, people coming from many different countries putting on a variety of productions in all sorts of different venues!! Most of the street performers are usually showing you a preview of their 'show' that they are actually performing in a venue later on that day or night. So therefore you get a chance to see parts of musicals, plays, dance productions etc. A lot of the street performers put on full perormances as they do not have actual venues, so they move about the city and this gives you a chance to view a huge variety of acts, its simply fantastic. Also every night in the grounds of Edinburgh Castle there is the Tattoo and at the end of the Festival there s the Grand Tattoo, it is very hard to get tickets to actually go to it most of the tickets have been bought the year before the next one. The Grand Festival has the largest display of acts from all over the world, it is televised as it is so entertaining and at the end of it Edinburgh Castle is lit up by a giant firework display.

Also in Edinburgh there is a street called 'Princess Street' (famous for shopping), the walk-way (pavement) is always hectic in the summer with shoppers and opposite side of the street, below, there is Princess Street Gardens where squirrels are waiting on you to feed them. There is a large Band Stand where Music is performed day and night throught out the summer. It is usually free and there is lots of benches formed in semi-circles to sit and watch the Bands. There is also seating all along the Gardens for you to sit and take a rest, which we all need sometime!!! Tomorrow l will hopefully bring you all some great pictures of Edinburgh and the Festival... Lots of love from scottishgirl xxxx

Life in Livingston, Scotland is much the same as anywhere else, every day you about your daily business always meaning to do something different or call someone that you haven't seen for a while. l am quite severely disabled due to a nervous system that does not want to work properly and 5 heart attacks and now due to the amount of pills l have to take for one thing and another my liver has decided to enlarge itself. I do not drink alcohol very much just high days and holidays and my kidneys are threatening to give up also, so really l am well and truly knackered. Things can only get better.

I have had my moan now. I hope anyone that comes across this little blog does not think that l only think of my health because that is just not true. I love to knit and crochet and that and my family (not in that order) are what l mostly think about. I trawl the internet looking for any interesting patterns for me and my grand-daughter. I do this so much that l forget or don't get the time to actually do any knitting or crochet. There are alot of blogs that l enjoy following and l also love Osinka, a couple of chinese forums, a couple of spanish speaking forums in Argentina and quite a few Russian and Eastern European forums. The British forums are rubbish they are way back in the middle ages as is the American, l think it is because of our copyright laws. Plus our knitting patterns are quite good but crochet is just starting to make a come back therefore we only get very little crochet patterns for clothing and basic. You can get doilie patterns as they used to be popular but l think the UK as a whole have mainly been knitters. I have a large stash of wool, mostly DK, Aran and 4 ply. Lately l have been able to get finer threads but it is quite expensive as we have to send away for it as it is used only for crocheting and Fair Isle wool is too woolly for crocheting.

We had a pretty crap summer as far as the weather went, we got roughly a month of hot sunshine and that was it. I wander if God is playing with us because it has been roughly 6 years since we had a good long summer. Sunny weather makes you happy and makes you feel better inside. They say we are going to start getting snow in November, l hope we get a white Christmas. Well l have to love you and leave you now as my bed is calling my name or rather my husband is so its nightie night from me!!! xoxoxoxoxxxx

Жизнь в городе Ливингстон, Шотландия является почти таким же, как и везде, каждый день вас о вашей повседневной деятельности всегда хотел делать что-то другое или позвонить кому-нибудь, что вы еще не видели на некоторое время. л я вполне серьезно отключена из-за нервной системы, которая не хочет работать должным образом и 5 инфарктов, а теперь из-за количества л таблетки взять за одно, а другой печень моя решила увеличить себе. Я не пью алкоголь очень просто праздникам и мои почки угрожают отказаться и, таким образом действительно л я хорошо и действительно истощенный. Все может только лучше.

У меня были мои стоны сейчас. Я надеюсь, что кто-нибудь, что приходит через этот маленький блог не думаю, что л думать только о своем здоровье, потому что это просто не соответствует действительности. Я люблю вязать спицами и крючком, и что и моя семья (не в таком порядке) это то, что л основном думать. Я трала интернет искать любые интересные образцы для меня и моей внучки. Я делаю это так много, что л забывают или не получить время, чтобы фактически делать любые вязание или вязание крючком. Есть много блогов, которые пользуются следующими л и л и любовь Осинка, пару китайских форумов, пару испаноязычных форумов в Аргентине и немало русских и восточноевропейских форумов. Британский форумы мусор они еще в средневековье как американская, я думаю, это из-за наших законов об авторских правах. Плюс наши вязания довольно хорошо, но крючком только начинает делать возвращаться поэтому мы только получаем очень мало вязания крючком для одежды и основной. Вы можете получить doilie шаблонами, так как они имели обыкновение быть популярным, но я думаю Великобритании в целом были в основном вязальщиц. У меня есть большой тайник с шерстью, в основном, DK, Аран и 4-слойные. В последнее время л удалось получить тонкие темы, но это довольно дорого, как мы должны посылать за ней, как она используется только для вязания Fair Isle шерсть слишком шерстистый для вязать крючком.

У нас была довольно летом дерьма, насколько погода пошла, мы получили примерно месяц горячим солнцем и все. Я брожу, если Бог играет с нами, потому что он был около 6 лет с тех пор у нас был хороший долгое лето. Солнечная погода делает вас счастливым и заставляет вас чувствовать себя лучше внутри. Они говорят, что мы собираемся, чтобы начать получать снега в ноябре, л надеюсь, что мы получим белое Рождество. Ну л должны любить вас и оставит вас в настоящее время, как моя кровать вызывает мое имя или, вернее, мой муж так ее ночнушку ночью от меня!

ACCIDENT

Воскресенье, 24 Июля 2011 г. 10:57 + в цитатник
My wife cannot write in her blog for the for-seeable future as she had her 5th heart attack the night after she created her blog and will be in hospital for quite a while and then have to recuperate for as long as it takes.
She is very embarssed by this but as l have told her, it cannot be helped and her health matters more than filling in her blog. She will start blogging as soon as she can, but sends her love to all the people that come across her blog and hopes to get to know everyone when she has regained her health as much as possible . xx

Hi! l am Marjory from near Edinburgh, Scotland. I only speak English and use google translator. l am happily married to Graeme and have 3 grown-up children, Christina, Stewart and Kyle. Christina and her husband Tommy have given us 2 fantastic grand-children Fraser and Marsaili.
I absolutely love knitting and crochet and could not survive without them. I also prefer the Russian knitting sites, as they are more exciting and interesting than anywhere else.
