We’re looking after my parents’ dog, Morrie, at the moment. He’s quite old, not interested in making new friends, yet despite this, unbelievably patient with the puppy who does not take no for an answer. It took a good few days for Morrie to settle in. He kept looking like he thought Sasha had cooties. But yesterday, for some reason, he seemed to ( Read more... )

Things have been quiet here because I’ve found myself doing exactly what I had planned to do this break - watch TV and sew. This is both time consuming and I’m finding myself zoning out with not much of importance to think on and to write about. I’d thought that I would have this break to work on new and exciting projects but what I’m really ( Read more... )

This will likely be the last post before I embark on my travels. I hear the puppy has not been well behaved on his holidays - apparently he dug himself out of his caged run 3 times before finally being allowed to stay in the house. He's persistent like that. I'm intensely thankful that maelkann has kindly offered to pick up Benji and thus I don't have to ( Read more... )

So what did we get up to yesterday? I met Jonathan and Farah for a good coffee and muffin first thing in the morning and after lively conversation headed to the dealers room. I nabbed myself the last copy of Zombies Vs Unicorns and sold a few of my own books ( Read more... )

I've really had a fantastic 12 days. It's not the kind of holidays most people would take and I was concerned that it would be a mostly working holiday for me and I would resent at the end of the year that this was what I did with all my annual leave this year. But I really do think I've had both a relaxing and revitalising time ( Read more... )

I finally found an espresso machine and someone who knows how to use it and started yesterday with a somewhat decent cup of coffee - vanilla latte. I'm just about to pop back there now for today's breakfast. And yay for finally having an uninterrupted night's sleep, if still not for 8 hours ( Read more... )

... is where the WFC is being held this year. I never had a great burning desire to visit Ohio. Not like I have always had for NYC or Hollywood or I dunno, Rhode Island. But here I am nonetheless and a lovely state of the Union States it is. If bloody freezing! The weather had been pretty mild in the States til that front moved in on Tuesday and ( Read more... )

Well I'm feeling rather fuddy duddyish since I'm in my room already, however stuff happened to me today that feels like it would be hard to top now, even if I were to meet yet more awesome people in the bar with jonathanstrahan. And I think the Crohn's is being held at bay and I'd kinda like to try and keep it that way, if I can. Especially given the 5 plane ( Read more... )
