Bulletin: Franklin's Craftsy class is about "Heirloom Lace Edgings" and will launch very soon.
Sorry about yesterday – I wasn’t well. I’m still not.
A slightly
peculiar syndrome. That cold I had before Easter has lingered, first as such,
then as a chesty cough (but not alarming), then that got better and I thot that
was the end of it. Now this.
A slight
sore throat, a slight headache, a dry cough, no fever I feel sure, a total lack
of appetite, near-total weakness. Flu? Pneumonia? Nervous breakdown? Chronic
Fatigue? I was strong enough to totter out to the delicatessen yesterday and
get my husband some food. I’m a bit better this morning, I think, and hope to
get us to Mass and put some lunch on the table before diving back into bed.
The Pakokku
socks are great fun. The attraction was pooling – I’ve now forgotten how this
started. And pool they do, if that’s even the word. The colours spiral down the
socks. Pic soon.
When I
finish these socks, and start, as I hope, a Relax big enough for me actually to
wear, I’m going to need another pair of socks for the emergency bag. I seem to
have found a Pakokku supplier – www.colorful-stitches.com/ I must have “Vampires of Venice”, simply for
the name, and perhaps Falling Leaves.
Hellie rang
up on Friday to say that the small Relax was safely in London
Non-knit
I had what must be a
phishing email ostensibly from PayPal yesterday – a first, for me. It seemed to
show a £39 payment to Skype. It invited me to click through to www.paypal.co.uk/helpcentre if I
hadn’t authorised the payment. I did that and got something looking just like
the first Paypal screen, but with a very peculiar address in the address bar.
When I logged on to PayPal the normal way, I saw what looked like the same
screen, but there’s no sign of a payment to Skype.
If Paypal
gets hacked, we’re all in trouble. I presume they take serious precautions. I met an
American banker once (your husband, Janis) who said that his bank – was it
called Flint
Now I must
go wash up yesterday’s dishes.
Ugh...trust you will soon be thoroughly well again.
ReplyDeleteWishes for a quick and complete recovery are coming your way!

Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSounds like time to order up some of that frozen food, to keep the show on the road until you feel better.
ReplyDeleteWe used to get frequent spam from a fake PayPal - the trick is not to use any links in a suspicious-looking email. Our PayPal accounts were always fine and untampered-with when we checked. A fake eBay was another source of annoying spam for a while, sending out nasty messages saying we had sold something and not delivered it and promising dire punishment. Delete, delete, delete!
ReplyDeleteWorried about you yesterday. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Keep at it!
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon! its hard enough to feel poorly but to have to rouse oneself to care for another - that makes it worse. maybe a local shop will deliver food and things for you?
ReplyDeleteas for the suspicious emails -- the saying is, if it smells like a rat it probably is! you did absolutely the right thing to check your paypal account - you can forward that email to their spam account - its spam@paypal.com and they will take it from there.
actually you should always send those types of emails to the spam accounts of the domain - it helps the companies keep up with the spammers and hackers. those " young men" will track them down.
oh Franklin's class sounds wonderful!
and now that i am a 'sock knitter" (even if i frogged the first go this week and am forging ahead ) you are tempting me with fresh yarn. ;o
Take care of yourself, and I second the suggestion of having food sent in. Does the deli offer delivery?
