S.E.X. and housework! And a few good healing wishes needed.

Love S.E.X, hate housework! Did the first yesterday (I was in Tunbridge
Wells, buying wedding dress and bridesmaid fabric with a client, and
picked up a few FQ's for squishing with), and need to pay for it by
doing the second today! Mind you, as I'm planning to tidy up the sewing
room after making 2 pairs of jeans, rearranging the house to fit the
stuff that I couldn't send to the shed, having the conservatory
dismantled, and those red bridesmaids, the housework won't be too
onerous, and will mean that I'll have room to get on with finishing
putting the zips in the Cub's loo tents and getting on with some much
needed quilt therapy! I shall also dig the treadle on the landing out
from under the tent and sleeping bags that have been roosting there
since James and Alan came back from camp on Sunday evening.

Alan good do with some healing vibes: he's just been diagnosed with
carpal tunnel syndrome, after using the nail gun to clad the shed in a
hurry so we could put the stuff in it and clear the area for the
builders...

Tell Allen that the carpal tunnel pain will subside over time. Well, as
long as he leaves the nail gun at the hardware store...........LOL. I
developed it from factory work, but followed my doctor's advice and quit the
job--didn't need the surgery. My carpal tunnel/tendonitis thing still gives
me some trouble, but I've learned to live with it. Just a matter of
learning to cope with limitations. Good thoughts from Tucson on the way!

Oddly enough, the brace helps most if you wear it at night. According to a
doctor, it seems we don't want to keep our wrists in the right position
while we sleep, though we may concentrate on the position during the day.
So wearing the brace at night is particularly helpful.

Hi Kate,

Ouch....I've had carpal tunnel, it's not pleasant. Am sending healing
vibes Alan's way.

The wrist brace isn't fun to wear but that's what helps!

Ok, that first paragraph held a surprise in it. You went from fancy
dresses to loo tents. I know what a loo is, but I really want to read
more about the tents. Why are you making more than one, and where did
you come up with the idea and pattern?

I've been known to camp in places without facilities, but never
thought of making a whole tent, just hung tarps for screening. Not as
nice as a tent, but workable due to fast assembly and fast removal
when breaking camp.

These are the tents that house the Chemi-Khazi's when the ubs are
camping where there are no lavatory facilities. They bought them years
ago. All I'm doing is replacing the zips. I've had them for a few
months and need to get them done!

These go up on frames just like a standard tent. We see them all over
in camp sites here. I've even seen them rigged up as shower tents! Let
me see if i can find a picture or a pattern... The two I'm re-zipping
are like the second one down on this page:

Poor Alan!
I just don't see how doing housework the next day should be compensation for
having s.E.X. the day before. Not unless you're getting paid by the hour.
Why do we think we have to pay for pleasure? Especially fabric pleasure?
After all, we need to buy fabric before we can sew fabric. And we ought to
be able to do anything we want just for fun, as long as it's legal!

Well, that's truly nifty. Thank you for taking the time to post a
link to one. I can't wait to show DH this website. He loves new
camping supplies, and we seem to have one of everything sold around
here. I'm sure the site has more than one thing we don't have yet.

Thanks again.

The zips I'm putting in are something else! Look like shark's teeth,
they are so big!
