A Welsh cold, do you think ?
If so it’ll last about 6 days and give up, then drone on & on blaming the English for everything for 'weeks. Oh, OK, centuries.

My device says that it was three hours ago you posted that, Twellsy. Not really taking things easy, is it, not as such

Fresh loaves out of the oven
I knocked back the dough I made by throwing water oil yeast and flour in a bowl which I left to prove without kneading
I knocked it back and shaped it by sticking it in a silicone tin…
No effort
I let the yeast take the strain…
I am now trying to do knitting sums
The pattern without a cable is 90 stitches
I want a 4 stitch cable so 8 stitches
98 stitches
Is that right?
As the bottom rib is 8 stitch repeat I want to work in 8s
The first stitch on every row is a garter stitch
Please say I can at least do me sums and cast on

Stitch number sounds right - 12 units of the rib, with a 'spare at each end, Suggest you always knit the last stitch of the row on the ribbing and slip it purlwise as the first stitch.
So, first row: k1 [k8, p8] six times.
Second row:s1pw [p8, k8] six times, k1

Thank you Gus
I tried to start in hospital but trying to concentrate to count in hospital is a nightmare
They say you rest in hospital - NOT in my experience!!!
What with phlebotomists physios HCAs nurses cleaners doctors students shop assistants kitchen staff waiters and men in frocks ringing bells at you ALL trying to gain your attention through the day amidst the cacophony of machines going beep or ping or bong or squeeeweeweewee with any combination in full quadrophonic with a slight time lag between the sources I defy anyone to rest in hospital

Yup men in frocks wandering around with a cup in one hand and a bell in the other offering the body of Christ…
At least this time I was not in a ward named after a Pope or a saint!
I worry about the clinic’s structural integrity when they put me in wards named after holy people
Thunderbolts of deities’ displeasure are so damaging to buildings after all…

My first reply, which I deleted before posting as being in bad taste, was ‘Blimey - were you that ill?’
But I feel it is a shame to waste bad taste, so there you have it.
You are of course entirely right about hospital being definitely no place for anyone who’s a bit below par.

The ‘Winter Ward’ at our Orsepiddle remained open all year, last year. Things are just getting busier & busier.
Imagine how it would have been in the Plague Pit, Twellsy.
Try not to build Rome in a day, or you’ll be back in Orsepiddle Toot Sweet
