A year flies by

A year is a long time in politics, but can feel very short when things happen too quickly for one's liking...
To make a long story really short: after the uncertainty following the accident came the bad news that my knee was seriously damaged. A meniscus almost ruptured, bruised bones, and worst of all, a ligament hanging on by just a few shreds. Nasty...
As the knee proved stable enough in the months following the accident, doctors decided to leave things as they were, and ordered exercise, lots of it...
Whilst this was going on, my husband got a job offer in England, and took it up, at about the same time I was moving flats for work in the city I was working in. So we traded Finland and its lakes and forests for Britain and its sheep. I miss Finland like crazy...
So just over a year after the accident, we're finally done with all the administrative hassle involved in a move (sorry... two moves!), I've got my residence permit in England whilst still working in France, my knee still feels strange but is operating normally and I've just lost over 7kg due to all the exercise it took to get the knee up and running (literally!).
Very little time for knitting in the middle of all this, and to be honest, I haven't really felt like it since finishing my dragon shawl. That little dragon really put me off knitting for a while. I'm getting started again now, but very slowly...
So now that things are back on track, I should finish my reports on Egypt, then put up the pictures from Lapland taken before my accident, and then the pictures from our recent holiday in Estonia, not to mention pictures from England... Right, let's see how quick I can be about it. In my opinion, judging from the past, not very...
