This has been a tough summer. It began with a nasty allergic reaction to bug bites and moved on to a viral bronchitis which then kicked my usually dorment asthma into […]

A day in the life of a #conductor #dirigent of Svenska Järnvägars Musikkår - we did two concerts today and really got that Christmas feeling going with an ambitious program, mixture of Swedish and American Christmas classics with a Klezmer arrangement thrown in. Plus amazing soprano soloist and #allsång for some numbers to get everyone in the audience singing. I ache in all sorts of places but happy and proud! My orchestra are a great bunch of people and we really did make some magic moments today. 💛🎶🤗 #amusicianslife #chronicillness #severeasthma #edshypermobility #cfsme #sogladimadeit #proud #stolt
A lot of #asthma medication, problems sleeping because of this and because of the neighbours.... so taking the chance for a cosy cuddle and rest with Shiva under my #seasidestashbustingblanket ... I like being #hundvakt for my landlady and I think my four-legged friends likes the company. And hopefully will revive with coffee my then pick up my #crochet projects and enjoy crafting time with Mum on her visit. 💛Tomorrow concert day so resting up as much as possible.🎶
Stars at the studio. My clever colleague Karin makes paper starts and I get to keep the one closest, at the bottom of the picture. 🌟🌟🌟 #stars #stjärna
Improvising a #sanitizer holder in #crochet on 2.5 mm and #cotton 8/4 ... inspired by a post #micahmakes but she used a 5mm and worsted weight so just making things up as I go along, doing different shaping but not thinking or counting too much. ;) Let's see how it turns out... #garnharmoni #crochetastherapy
On the #nebuliser again (!) though think there was some improvement today with the latest #asthma treatment, though still quite a few attacks...The #star brightens up the room but couldn't quite get it to close and there is an even bigger gap in the middle from trying since this photo.🤔 The wooden #blockingboard x 2 bought for me by my dear Mum for the #crochet #fiestacal #mosaiccrochet does not have pegs narrow enough to fit through the crochet fabric and the #octagon shape does not have equidistant gaps between the pegs! 🙄Disappointed! Purchased from @rico.se ... #garnharmoni #crochetastherapy #adogslife
First day of snow in Stockholm! My #asthma continues to challenge so I will work from home a bit and try to rest a lot. Started yet another new course of medicine, praying it helps. 🙏My landlady's dog, Shiva, poked her nose through my door this morning and jumped up on my bed to say good morning! This is unusual, so perhaps she knew I needed cheering up today, even if I was quick to get her out (I love her company but try to keep my room pet-free because of my asthma.) She is off for walkies now in stylish winter attire. 🐕💛Anyway, not much #crochet done lately, hoping to change that! Here is my #star octagon from the #fiestacal #mosaiccrochet which matches unintentionally the #orange kitchen decor. #stjärna 🌟🧶☕
