I’m rushing around like a bit of a mad woman at the moment getting things ready for a visit by some lovely friends next week Very happy though but lots to do I still managed to read this but really must get back to the humungous ironing pile and the scanner as I have lots [...]
Music! Might as well face it, you’re allergic to cats! (Robert Palmer parody) I found Metronomy via Meet me at Mikes – what a great find! I’ve been listening them to on Spotify since Isn’t Spotify dangerous – I’ve been listening to Call Me by Go West! That takes me back to my school days.. [...]
Another busy day – where does all the time go? I caught up with my lovely friend H and A and H’s brand new baby son J. I’m in love with J – I confess it – all I had to do was look at him and he smiled at me and held my finger [...]
Sadly my day didn’t quite go to plan and I ended up at the garage having the car looked at so I didn’t get home in time for taking any decent photos I also missed the library van But the car has had a shiny service which it wasn’t expecting! I got to see the [...]
Yesterday, my friend R and I went on the high speed train to London-town and went to the Country Living Fair. What I love about it is the variety of different things to be seen whilst there but the best part of the Spring fair is the flowers. Aren’t these fritalleria, gorgeous? Sadly I didn’t [...]
I had a lovely day in London today but more about that tomorrow when I’ve got my photos sorted out and had a chance to put my feet up… Death of an Outsider by M.C. Beaton This is one of the earliest Hamish Macbeth novels I’ve read thus far. I’m interested enough in him as [...]
I have been hard at work this afternoon trying to tidy up the back garden a bit and get it ready for the new crop of seedlings I’ve yet to sow. A bit slow this year but I blame it on the very long winter we had – we still have a bit of frost [...]
Remember this beautiful yarn I had chosen for me from my personal sock club? Well it looked lovely when I started knitting up some Jaywalkers but I started to feel doubtful about fit as I’d been reading on Ravelry that they came up a bit tight. Dutifully I tried them on and found that, yes, [...]
Well, my cough doesn’t seem to be improving any and I have kind of figured that there really isn’t a lot of point going to the doctor about it after reading their information sheet. I don’t have an infection any more so presumably am not contagious and there is a lot of it going around [...]
Travel Beware of flights for 50p! (Slightly rude!) Berlin in a minute. Looks a lot different from the Berlin I visited pre-1989. Knitty Knitter’s eye chart, anyone? Glass knitting needles look rather fun but I’d be worried about them breaking especially with my curious kitties around. Knit yourself a mini-banana Neat Cool postcard – just [...]
