Sick people should stay home from work, shopping and everything

I hate it when people go to work sick and it pisses me off even more when I get sick from it. Well this is the second time this year (since May) that I have gotten sick because some people think they are so good coming to work when they are sick. I started to get a sore throat the day before we flew to Brisbane to go and visit son, dil and granddaughter for her 2nd birthday party. And yes I did leave it there for them too, son is not happy and he can't afford to be sick with his health issues.

Anyway we had a great time and the weather was great on the border of NSW & QLD. And no I will not be moving up there...way too many retired people there. Well when I win lotto then I will buy a holiday house there.

On the knitting front I haven't been doing much, don't know what is wrong with me, but just not that keen on knitting so much or anything else for that matter, need to talk to myself and get my act together and back into a good routine again.

I finished knitting the baby set but have not sewn it up. I am knitting on the child size poncho which I would have like finished last week. I may get some photos on the weekend and post them.

I definitely need a kick up the backside to get me going I think.

I have added a photo of my granddaughter a couple of weekends ago helping her dad with the car, she had a shifter and spanner helping him. And one with me and her while we were out at dinner when we were up there the other weekend. She had her grandparents (me and DH), and 2 sets of her great grandparents (my parents and DH parents) along with her parents at dinner.

I SO agree with you.

Four days before my surgery Steve and I went to a coffee shop where the employee discussed in detail just how sick she was.

Of course, I heard all this AFTER I had my drink.

I was SO mad --- if I got sick and had to delay my surgery I would have had quite a lot to say to the Starbucks manager. Luckily -- it didn't happen.

Hope you are feeling better soon.
