Sew.......
I waited until I was in the right frame of mind.
Drunk, staggering, trying not to sing....
And sandwiched the white wadding between the camo cloth and the black stuff I was ripping up in an earlier experiment.
I wrapped it round my hammock and tied it on with cable ties as my fingers were too inebriated to tie knots.
Couldnt get it to stay tied up, so I slept in it on the kitchen floor.
It wasnt very nice.

Woke up very cold.
Thought I must have dreamed it all.
I was still on the kitchen floor, but no hammock.
Thought I had gone even madder....
..until I went outside.
Horrible toad had nicked it.
Seems his fingers wernt drunk.
Somehow Id used two boxes of needles during the night.
I wonder how I managed to thread it.

The ends are too bulky and I dont like them.
I had cut the wadding straight and bunched, its too much.
I dont need it that thick at the ends, so I need to rethink that bit.
This one looks better, but still, the wadding shouldnt be anywhere near coming out the ends.
Still, its a start.
Its gapeing too much at the sides, the cover slides round and i need to look at fixing it down the middle.

Still enjoying your thoughts so please keep posting. They do make underblanked things but i have never fancied one my self. I guess unless your using down then its gonna be big and bulky, keep trying though !
Just sat outside with my kids for a while watching all the fireworks.
Funny.
When I was a kid, they frightened me.
As a teenager they fascinated me as I wanted to be able to make them.
Now all I could think of was all those £10's fizzing up there and exploding.
Think Im getting old.

Step kid had arrived.

I think he must have jumped over the house to get there first
...and he nicked my hat!

Told Step to go get his own hammock and turfed him out.
He spent some time looking at the beggining of this thread and the next time I needed to go.....
My hammock is down.
His hammock is up.
Hes nicked my hooks!
Ive decided I need an all day bladder.
Myabe I wouldnt have to get pine needles stuck in my feet then either.

My Side hurts.
I think my torn muscle and rib should feel better as I had an xray.
It didnt.
Im struggling to get in and out of my hammock.
Mutter, Mutter.....
Learned something today though,
I talked to a nurse. She was lovely, but I did manage to concentrate on some of the stuff she was saying...
I told her I didnt dare cough as it hurts enough that I had blacked out once.
She told me that I should carry on coughing, as if I dont use my cough reflex, the mucus can stay in the lungs and cause a chest infection.
Decided I dont want one of those with the ribs, so Im finding something to lean on and coughing anyhow.
So glad I managed to give up smoking all those years ago.
