Needlecraft, cats and books
I finally finished the cover for my netbook, and took it up to the bedroom to do a photo for my Ravelry records. As it was a sunny day the cats were in situ, and, for once, Ross did not scarper at the thought of a D.O.G. being around. So he got into the picture.
I have also been thinking about the book meme. These are the ten books that have influenced me over the years (in a condition that reflects their much loved and re-read status).
The paperbacks, The Magician's Nephew, Jill's Ghymkana, I Lucifer, The Nine Tailors and Stormbringer should need no explanation (in terms of influence I did actually take up bellringing after reading the Sayers).
The Opie is that rare thing, a reference work that has been read cover to cover, an old friend. The Gerani and Schulman holds a special place as effectively the first 'real book' that gave credibility to 'Media Studies'.
The books without DJs are E.Nesbit's Nine Unlikely Takes - Thankfully I discovered Nesbit before her whimsies became unfashionable and were removed from the library shelves.
Beverley Nichols' 1930s version of 'Homes Under the Hammer'
And Doreen Tovey's biography of her Siamese cats (and other animals)
