Doctor, doctor, give me the news...


A friend told me that a doctor prescribed his aunt a glass of red wine and half an hour knitting a day to ward off heart disease and arthritis.

Prescription filled! Wonder if I can get Totem on the PBS?

Fantastic idea!! No chance I expect, though in the TV show Bootleg you could get Chocolate on prescription!!

Totem is all very well, but if you're getting it on the PBS, why go generic?
On the other hand, I keep getting spam about cheap Canadian pharmaceuticals, so maybe you should see about some Fleece Artist or Hand Maiden.

Right, I shall pour a glass immediately and pick up my shawl. Doctor's orders!

Thank God someone has seen sense and medically validated my lifestyle. :-)

Love this doctor.

Very fun. If I combine the wine with the knitting it had better be a "gauge doesn't matter" project.

only a half hour? better make it an hour a day just to be sure. and maybe two glasses....

If it doesn't help the heart or ease the arthritis, it'll sure help the stress. Drink enough, we'll not worry about the other two.
