I was going to show you some photos of our Saturday afternoon at the seaside but I’m too tired to write in the code I need as the uploading tool is misbehaving again so that’ll have to wait for another day but there is some good news! Perdita has been given a clean bill of [...]
Thank you so much for your good wishes for Perdita. She is definitely on the mend and very good natured considering she is spending all her time caged up. She’ll be allowed out on a supervised wander tomorrow and then it is back to the vets again on Wednesday for a check up. I’m not [...]
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’ve been so tired, ill, stressed lately that when I booked three days leave to spend time writing my essay this last week, I really didn’t feel up to it. So I took the first day gently and felt so much better in myself that I was able to think properly about what I was [...]
Just a few photos from the weekend. I finished off a Branching Out scarf in the lovely Anny Blatt mohair I got in the Loop sale and started on a clapotis in the Manos de Uruguay silk blend I picked up last week. Our church is going to have a lot of building work carried [...]
I often dribble over the photos of goodies obtained from Wingham Wool Work when Nic has been on Skip North so when I heard that they were going to be in Old Wives Lees I decided to pop along. I didn’t take my wheel as I was feeling a bit shy and we’d been in [...]
Here is the pub of the enormous fish and chips fame! After we came out of the pub, it had brightened up considerably and I spotted this lovely bench and tree in blossom. This house featured in the film A Canterbury Tale which was mentioned by David last week. I’ll definitely have to look out [...]
It was a slightly traumatic morning when my boss noticed that there was a printing error on our phone directory – a trawl through my email helped me realise it wasn’t all my fault – phew. Despite this moment of sheer panic, I got my proposal emailed well ahead of the 5pm deadline at 2.30ish. [...]
My grant application is almost ready to go! Yay! I did have to spend about 2 hours this evening after work trying to figure out what the finance people had done to my spreadsheet as I had write out all the amounts in terms of activities rather than persons, overheads, etc etc but I brought [...]
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 [...]
