Even though the exhibition of Mirror, Bead and Thread had been on at the Beaney Institute since 11 February, it was only yesterday that I actually managed to get there to see it on the very last day. The exhibition is of Kanchan Malde, a collector of Gujrati textiles. The notes say a bit more [...]
Gulp! This is my race number for the Race for Life. This makes it all scarily real for me. For reasons beyond her control, MrsSJT was unable to register for the event so I’m going to walk on my own. She has very kindly offered to come and cheer me on and sponsor me. Seeing [...]
Marion and I have been participating in Ms*Robyn’s most wonderful Vintage Housekeeping Swap. The most wonderful parcel turned up yesterday when I was at work and I had to force myself not to open it until my camera had fully charged when I came home from the very late-running and heated church AGM (Annual General [...]
BEWARE: This is the effect that rolling around on bleached surfaces or rubbing the head against smelly shoes will have on your cat. I’m very tired today which might have a great deal to do with Merlin waking me up at 5.45 this morning. My friend R-C thinks I’m good at writing twaddle so that [...]

I have been taking photos throughout April this time so I figured that a couple of composites would be better than lots of individual photos…. The flowers are from the Westgate Garden except for the ones on the window ledge at the bottom. Those flowers were one of the arrangements from my friend Anna’s wedding [...]
In case I had you wondering yesterday: here is what a lesser spotted Moof looks like. This evening, pao, George and I all joined a load of friends for a curry with Moof who is sadly going back to Spain in the morning. Highlights of this evening included: Lizzie flashing her knitting. I’m not sure [...]
I’ve been going to work early because I’ve been really keen to see the bunnies cavorting before the rest of the world wakes up. Just watching them running about makes me feel a whole lot better about the day. I was quite disappointed when I arrived at the spot where they’d been dashing between the [...]
