Do you remember this little rascal from a couple of weeks back? He reappeared at work today. Apparently, he’s been seen hunting bunnies. We’ve picked him and cuddled him and he is a very muscular boy. I happened to have a pouch of cat food in my office which pao put in my lunch last [...]
Last weekend, we happened to be in town when the parade for the unveiling of Belle, the Canterbury Giant. We’d just had a nice breakfast and were heading home because pao’s eye and head was hurting him when we heard the music and stopped for a short while whilst the parade passed us. Belle was [...]
… said pao as I sat down upon arriving home this evening.. ?? thought me as he handed me a cardboard box. I opened it up and there was a beautifully wrapped package. Giving it a squeeze, it felt like yarn but I knew what was inside straight away! Meet Barney, a little cotton rabbit [...]
Still exhausted! Didn’t arrive home until about 6.40pm but that was after over an hour with the vets. I showed photos of the cute tabby cat to the vet who told me that he was definitely a he but it is moot point since I haven’t seen him since last Monday. A big thank you [...]
No? Drat. I’ll just distract myself with thoughts of giant strawberries from the USA. They are the tastiest strawberries I have ever eaten and are the epitomy of a Friday treat. They have a lovely sweetness that I’ve not come across before. If I could grow strawberries this big, I’d be very happy indeed. They [...]
Whilst pao has been off sick, I’ve been going into the office an hour earlier so that I can leave half an hour earlier (yes, I know but I’m very very busy at the moment so some extra time is welcome). One of the loveliest things about this is rain or shine, the bunnies are [...]
The first item of my challenge is done! No. 17 is complete. A roll brim hat for my friend Lou’s birthday in July. This was a nice easy knit to fill my bus journeys this week whilst I was waiting for the start of the Summer of Socks Challenge. I’ve started on No. 1 a [...]
(or Might as well face it, I’m addicted to sock yarn) Step 1: Look for sock yarn in the house. Not forgetting those places like in odd drawers in the dining room, bowls, etc. Step 2: Transport yarn to the one clear spot in the house. Step 3: Lay out yarn carefully and lovingly. Step [...]
pao got a bit of bad news about his eye today so we’re both a bit sad at the moment (no pictures this time) as he’ll have to have another op possibly later this year. At least the next op should be a breeze in comparison to the others pao has had but a sad [...]
Yes, my true love bought me a brand new hard disk for my birthday. He will probably deny that he said that he bought it for my birthday but I did boggle a bit when I got home and was handed a brown box and told to open it because it had one of my [...]
