My convalescence month and my quilling creations Yesterday I wrote about my accident, how I broke my ankle during a hike. Today I would try to tell you as I'm been spending my convalescence period, 36 long days that are going to finish in 4 days next week I have to stay sitted down as much as I can, so the sofa has begun my favourite home corner. Usually, during mornings, I get up at 8.30 am, have breakfast until 9.00 - 9.30 am and then, with no hurry, I do my job, because fortunately I'm used to work with pc, so I can check emails and I had also resolved some urgencies that happened. In the afternoon I stay outside on my terrace, reading. I've done also some pictures with a tecnique I discovered some months ago: it's called quilling. Using paper stripes of different colours you can compose very beautiful drawings: you need only paper stripes, glue, scissors and pliers. In addiction to them, you need also a lot of patience and manuality! I'm quite satisfied of what I've done until now, but I've a lot to learn! During evenings I like watching movies.

My month of convalescence and my quilling creations

Yesterday I wrote about my accident, where I broke my ankle during a hike.
Today I try to tell you how I have been spending my convalescence period, 36 long days that finish next week.
I have to sit down as much as I can, so the sofa has become my favourite home corner. Usually, mornings, I get up at 8.30 am, breakfast until 9.00 - 9.30 am and then, unhurried, I do my job, because fortunately I'm used to working with my PC, so I can check emails and resolve some emergencies that happen.
In the afternoon I stay outside on my terrace, reading. I've also made some pictures with a technique, quilling, that I discovered some months ago. Using paper stripes of different colours you can compose very beautiful drawings: you need only paper stripes, glue, scissors and pliers. In addiction to these, you need also a lot of patience and manual dexterity! I'm quite satisfied of what I've done until now, but I've a lot to learn! In the evenings I like watching movies.

very well written!

My convalescence month and my quilling creations

Yesterday I wrote about my accident, and how I broke my ankle during a hike.
Today I will try to tell you how I'm spending my convalescence period, 36 long days that are going to finish in 4 days next week.
I have to stay sitting down as much as I can, so the sofa has become my favourite spot. ("Home corner" is a little phrase normally associated with junior school".)  Usually, in the mornings (probably better with the "in the" but this is not necessary), I get up at 8.30, and have breakfast betweem 9 and 9.30.  ( We don't need or want "a.m." when we've already said it's morning.) Then, with no hurry, I do my job, because fortunately I'm used to working on a computer (probably better than PC). I can check my emails, and also resolve anything important that has come up.

In the afternoon I stay outside on my terrace, reading. I've also created some pictures with a technique I discovered some months ago: it's called quilling. Using paper strips of different colours you can compose very beautiful drawings: you only need paper strips, glue, scissors and tweezers**. In addition to these, you also need a lot of patience and nimble fingers! (or "manual dexterity" in more formal language)  I'm quite satisfied with what I've done so for (or "up till now", perhaps) but I've a lot to learn! In the evenings I like watching movies.
