Not a lot of knitting at the moment. My Father-in -Law has been really poorly so we have been visiting him in Hospital every day. It wouldn't be too bad if the hospital was a bit closer, but we have to do a round trip of 45mins each way.
We are also looking after his aged Sheltie who is very distressed by the arrangement as they have never been separated before.
Add to that the moving of a 12ft x 5ft chicken run from his house to ours we have been a bit busy! The chickens seem to have settled in well and are laying about six eggs a week each! The run is a bit tricky to assemble as our garden is on a slope of approx 1:6. We have had to dig out one end and raise the other end by almost 2".

I am so sorry to hear that you FIL is poorly & I know what its like doing the 'hospital' run only too well as we are an hour & halfs drive from ours. Do hope he gets better soon. Sounds like you have your hands full all in all and with chickens and the sheltie too:)

So sorry to hear about your FIL'S ill health at the moment. Fingers crossed for signs of recovery soon. It's terribly difficult at times like this but hope you are able to find a little time to look after yourself too
