Oops!
I am meant to be getting ready for work but I just bought a new diary instead! -
Look what I made!
I finally finished the crocheted flamenco dancer toilet roll cover I was making for my best friend's Christmas present. Here's a photo (but excuse the crap quality as I had to use my phone due to domestic camera fail issues) - isn't she great?!

Pretty lady alert
I'm somewhat in love with Paloma Faith at the moment. MP3ism seems to me to be intensely album-ist because you can chop and change between artists and albums and thus it's rare that albums are listened to in their entirety. I like albums. I like tracing my own narrative through the track listings - Soft Cell's Non Stop Erotic Cabaret is one which ( Read more... ) -
The end of an era... and about bloomin' time!
Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow I go back to work! It's been over two years and I can't wait! The only downside is that I have to do a week's induction which involves a day of 'e-learning', a day on the ward and the THREE whole days of manual handling, which is more than I've had in my whole career and is outrageous, especially considering I have a ( Read more... ) -
Oooooh!
Leo and I are going to be making a new blog in which to chronicle the impressive amount of things we make. I am very girly and crafty, Leo is excited about the end of the world so she can use her impressive survival skills. We meet in the middle when we make jam from berries we've foraged and when Leo makes me bath bombs from scratch. It is clearly ( Read more... ) -
Far too early to be up!
Good god, it's half past eight in the morning and I've been up for an hour and a half. I've had one cup of coffee, two cigarettes and -wait for it - breakfast. I'm trying very hard to get into good habits ready for my return to work next week. So far I've bought a box of posh-ish muesli, eaten some of the muesli for breakfast, and started using ( Read more... ) -
Book-destroying old lady madness
I went for a pootle about in CRAFT today. For those of you who've never had the joys of rooting around in Aberystwyth's biggest junk emporium, it's a community recycling project which is a great place to find used furniture, videos, tapestry versions of famous paintings (including one that made The Girl With A Pearl Earring look like a burns victim ( Read more... ) -
Too dumb to live
lozette posted an entertaining story earlier about someone who was apparently quite late in learning basic life skills. This reminded me of an experience I had a few years ago, when Rowan and I were living on the university campus during the first two years of my degree. Those of you who've been here for the long haul will recall that we lived in a static ( Read more... ) -
Grr and associated gubbins
Blah. Shitty day. Mostly to do with my son but I really can't be arsed to go into it. Right now we're all feeling a bit battered, although not as battered as the floor on our landing which has a huge great flipping hole in it. Seriously. I am so not impressed with him ( Read more... )
