Look! I have photographic evidence of sewing! Here I was in the middle of making 16 mermaids tails for dress-ups, commissioned by a friend.
This is the slinky rainbow fabric (with pink lining) and there were also some made up in sparkly purple. Sorry, I handed them over before taking a photo. Just imagine sparkly and you’ll be right.
In other news, I have been busy adjusting to my new schedule and lack of time due to starting a part-time job recently - sales in a busy bakery. I can tell you, I now know the names of many, many varieties of breads and rolls and I even get to use the bread slicing machine!
The job is so so busy (everyone buys bread, right?) which is great because I have had jobs before where you spend so much time being bored and stewing on how much you hate working there. This job is so busy that the time flies by, and the people are really nice and funny too. It’s working out well. I would still rather not be out working but the financial reality is that I have to right now, and I just have to accept that. Bummer, why can’t I win lotto or something? 
I promised Jack I would put this pic on the internet for everyone to see. I don’t think he made it though - I’m guessing big brother Sam did pretty much all of the work. Still, Jack LOVES it and begged me to put it here, so here it is!
A couple of nights ago I had a bit of an Adventure - I had to drive myself to emergency in the middle of the night due to a suspected ovarian cyst which was extremely painful (it reminded me of contractions, so yes, PAINFUL!) and which subsequently burst. I know, it sounds gross, apparently the body just “absorbs” the gunk inside the cyst. Lovely huh? Anyway I took a couple of days off work and did a lot of sleeping and watching of taped shows on telly while snuggled up under a blanket.
I thought I had better go to my GP for follow up and while I was there I asked her to look at my left ankle as it had been hurting for many weeks. Turns out that it is probably an inflammation of my achilles tendon (achilles tendonitis) so I have been referred to a podiatrist.
Zoom!

Hi Jen
I was enjoying reading your blog, when my son, Rasmus, passed by and saw the picture of the airplane your son made out of Lego. Rasmus is very impressed (he is
and thinks that your son building this at the age of 5 is very talented, and he told me to write you and let you know!
Anyway, he is now inspired to do some building of his own. Say Hi to Jack and let him know.
