Feeling better today

selenayToday I have watched a very embarrassing rugby game (why am I still an England fan?), done a bit of pottering around in some shops and knitted an entire sleeve for the baby cardigan.
The best bit about today is that my neck is feeling better. It's still twinging uncomfortably at the end of my range of movement, but at least I can move my head reasonably well without pain. This also meant that I got some sleep last night, thank god.
My sister is a lovely person and brought home the most indulgent, calorific, chocolately insane gateau I've ever seen from Patisserie Valerie for my Mum's birthday. It's gorgeous. Possibly one slice equals the recommended caloric intake for a week, but it's soooo good. She even brought vegan chocolate cake for my father. I was too crippled by neck pain to do anything useful in that area this year :-( Woe. And next year I won't be here to do anything. Woe again.
Still, lovely cake :-)
My hands are now stiffening up from excessive knitting, but do I care? Of course not! We're going out for Thai food for Mum's birthday and then coming home to watch movies and eat more evil cake. I may switch to crocheting the edge of my blanket while I watch, due to the excessive knitting issue. Or I may just spend the evening lying in a Thai-food-and-chocolate-cake included coma *bfg*

I am trying to shut the memory of the rugby out of my mind. It's too painful.

Photos would be good, here or Ravelry :-) I'd like to see the finished results. Ravelry likes you to upload stuff to Flickr first (I'm also archerygirl there) so you could upload the photos, drop a link in your blog and let those of us who are Ravelers see the full glory on Ravelry :-)
