I just had to make some red things today. I’ve been having a bit of fun just allowing my imagination to run riot I made these a couple of weeks ago and hadn’t taken a photo of them. Hehe 80s time warp. I was watching Dr Who when I was making this. Although red goes [...]

Saturday was the last day of the earth cycle of Project Spectrum. These photos were taken at Wildwood – the mud shows just how much it has rained here recently. The staff at the entrance were warning us that it was muddy – they weren’t kidding. Goodbye to EARTH – green, brown, metallics. It was [...]
A very brief post to say that Perdita’s home and the damage wasn’t as bad as we had feared. She had a dislocated hip and a hairline fracture so she was a very lucky kitty indeed. She now has a week in a kitten pen which we can tell already she is not impressed with [...]
I had to go to Northampton to see a lady about the project I’m bidding for yesterday. Northampton is in the middle of England so quite a distance from Kent – it took me just over 7 hours round trip to get there and back but it was worth it. I got an earlier train [...]

I tried uploading a photo at work today so it might be my machine which is making the gallery act funny but we’ll see what happens today. We managed a second day where we had a short walk round the village after work. Okay, it’s an issue with Firefox on my Mac at home. No [...]
By criminy, someone (pao) has upgraded my WordPress installation and it is *different*! I can’t seem to convince the new improved gallery feature to actually put my photos on the screen so for the moment you’ll just have to imagine the stroll pao and I after we got home tonight. Unsurprisingly, I felt rather unfit [...]
My knitting mojo is back so I’m definitely on the mend. Gloves are rather fiddly so I won’t be making another pair for quite some time or I’ll be waiting til I’ve made myself some tiny needles. The second glove was a bit more holey than the first for some reason but thankfully it doesn’t [...]
I was inspired by Chris’ Cable Twist socks to try out some cables in my sock knitting. I chose the Whitby pattern in Nancy Bush’s Knitting on the Road book. Here is the first sock And here is a close up of the cables. I didn’t use a cable needle – just the fifth DPN. [...]
