No work for me today.

 You know I often wish I didn't work so many hours, or that I could retire. I should be careful what I wish for. I have me a nasty head cold and as you know in my line of work I'm not welcome at work with such bugs. Though I'm not feeling great I have been able to get on and complete my cross stitched bee. There really wasn't much left to do.


Now all that remains is for me to wash it and give it a really good press. It will be put away until I decide how I want to finish it. 

Next I hope to be getting on with my Chookshed challenge.
Wish me luck.

Your bee was such a good find. It looks fabulous. Take care of yourself and get better soon.

That's such a beautiful bee. Do hope you feel better soon. When I was working, I was ready to retire at 60, but that didn't happen, my income was necessary. So 65 it was. It took months and months to stop waking up so early, we were up at 5.30 and out the door at 6.30am. I do still wake reasonably early but these days make a cuppa, take it back to bed, and catch up with the news.
