New skills

6 hours of learning new skills.

The first 2 hours were a lesson in maintaining my patience whilst I struggled repeatedly with what looked like a simple skill.

As the day progressed, I have learned to follow a pattern and I know what the seemingly incomprehensible codes are in crochet patterns.

Had a good long walk again this evening, wandered over to a friend's house to trade sunflower seedlings for pumpkin seedlings. We lamented the battles we have both had relating to our chronic illnesses and to have ourselves heard. It was quite a cathartic hour. So good to know that someone else understands 'spoon theory', even though we have vastly different conditions.

This evening has involved a little more practice, along with some scheming about things that may become apparent over the next few days.
