Well what can I say. So much has happened since I posted last. Yes a slap on the wrist for not posting for so long. The Open Studio was ok, could have done with more people coming but to be honest can only blame myself for lack of advertising and holding it on Wimbledon Womens finals day. Well I don't follow tennis, how was I to know, did you know?
So whats been going on then, well anyone who knows me fairly well will already know that for nearly 3 years I've been waiting to have a gastric bypass. Via the NHS it's a long process of appointments and waiting then more appointments and waiting and if you're really unlucky a heart attack and the whole thing gets put off for a year. Well that of course was me. Never do anything by halves. I had just had my letter confirming that I had been put on the waiting list for a bed and had seen the surgeon and was expecting to have the op in March/April this year when bang, there I am in hospital being told I'd had a heart attack. The surgery had to wait a year due to the meds I'm taking so having been told I'd have to wait until the following Nov. to go back on the waiting list you could have knocked me down with a feather when the phone rang at 9am the other morning and a nice lady gave me an appointment for Nov. 7th this year. To say I'm excited would be an understatement, To say I'm near on petrified would be pretty true.
Anyway I will keep you updated, long time till November. ha ha.
I've been making buttons. A beady friend who came for the open studio day showed me how and now I can't stop. They're getting better as I go. They're the type with a shank so if you're needing any buttons I'm your man. I must take a photo to show you.
More soon xxx
