Yes, any task that keeps hands busy and demands just enough concentration to keep you occupied but doesn't overwhelm you at the same time is a godsend when stressed. I keep meaning to learn how to knit again...Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-17881480855557160752014-09-29T15:49:16.692+01:002014-09-29T15:49:16.692+01:00The jam is excellent.

The depressing thing about it is looking round and knowing how common a situation it is - which makes it not a bit easier to deal with when it's happening in your own family. Thank god for the never ending stream of housework type things to take your mind off it all!Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-23402559300021321822014-09-25T10:05:40.087+01:002014-09-25T10:05:40.087+01:00I'm sorry to read that you have to go through ...I'm sorry to read that you have to go through this. For some reason I am drawn to ironing when stressed by family, er, events.

Your preserves sound amazing. For me, it's crochet, no better exemplified than a couple of years ago when my father was in hospital. His operation (all OK-ish now) ended up being an eight hour extravaganza....my mother and I were waiting very anxiously at the hospital.
