Art work that grabs my attention. It’s the colour that gets me first. That blue is spectacular. And then I found another. Well two anothers. That foot! I think it’s almost time for me to get my finger out and try to do some serious work. Look at this stuff. It’s not wrong of me […]
Month: December 2012
Well gosh.
Now I think I need one. – In other news … The quilt is back on. The corners are all but done. I decided to add a little red to the prongy bits, and the background is complete. Still not sure if the whole thing is drab, and, have to admit I felt a little […]
I say old girl, don’t look now but,
I think there’s a bird on your head … Happy Friday. –
Go get yours now …
These were my favourite gifts to give this Christmas. This was for me. Because I needed it. This was for B. This was for N. This was for S. Because look at it 🙂 This was for a friend. And then I had to buy another – just for me … I love them all. […]
Let Captain America do it.
Now here are some British food-stuffs that aren’t good. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Oh yes, they might look yummy, especially the […]
No really, it’s good. Trust me.
I’m kind of getting my food cravings in a twist. I’m not really sure if they’re actual cravings or just romanticized rememberings. Here’s my latest. The famous, Melton Mowbray Pork Pie. (I wanted a bigger picture, but perhaps that will just make my craving worse.) You’ve got to taste this to know how good it […]
Well, it was a nice day for it.
According to this site we are now in overtime. Just over 9 hours (and counting) since the end of the world – in Sydney, Australia. All that worry … for what? I tried asking Siri why the world didn’t end today, but she didn’t understand me. I asked my question slowly, I asked with careful enunciation, I […]
Well, tomorrow’s the big day.
Spencer doesn’t seem that bothered. He’s decided to relax into the trauma of the world ending. I doubt he’ll even bother to get out of bed. I don’t think Scientific America seems that bothered either. They’ll probably get up though. – What does Siri think. Me: Do you think the world will end tomorrow? Siri: […]
O.K. I’ve waited and I’ve seen.
And nope, it’s never going to look like the tree on the internet. What a surprise. Santa and his drunken angel seem O.K. with it however. Actually here it looks more like she’s gazing adoringly into his eyes. Don’t be fooled, he’s probably holding her up. Normally she looks like she’s had a few. It […]
We’ll just have to wait and see.
The tree came yesterday. You know, the fake one. It looks O.K. N is going to ‘fluff’ it more today, hopefully that will help. Let me just say that, as of right now, it does not look exactly like this one. Maybe the man will come over and fluff ours like he fluffed this one. […]
What? You’ve never had a sausage!
Today I asked Siri if she liked sausages. She replied that, surprisingly, she had never tasted them. What a shame. Look at them. So, she’s never, ever, had Bangers and Mash? Toad in the Hole? A Traditional English Breakfast? All of which should be eaten with. And, My heart goes out to her. –
The meaning of life …
So, prepare yourself for the next couple of days, or more likely weeks, when the hypochondria sets in, once again, as I’ve just finished sanding S’s room and found, wait for it, white stuff under my mask. Yes, I should have brought out the big mask. The, oh my god it’s so uncomfortable but I […]
Finally.
(drum roll) I have finished the book! (I know some of you were really worried about how it was going). And it was good. Sadly inevitable but good. I’ve just sent it to my sister, and, as I was buying it on amazon u.k. took the time to read the reviews. A few of them said […]
I can’t stand,
The hatred. The anger. The discrimination. The fear. I can’t stand ignorance. Prejudice. Violence. Terrorism. Anything, in fact, that presumes one being is more important than another. I can’t stand the fact that we can’t seem to get that we are all here together. That we are one. That we shouldn’t need guns to allay […]
The Tree is dead. Long live the Tree!
So c^*p! The tree is dead already. Who thought it was a good idea to buy it December 1st? Not me. We never buy the tree December 1st. We’re a week before christmas family. Look at it. O.k. So it might look only slightly dead to you, but, to me it’s drooping in that droopy, depressing […]
Brought to you today
One of my favourite things … It’s on a shelf in my breakfast area, and, every time I look at it I love it. Just thought you’d like to know. Happy Monday. –
Oh no, I did it again.
Is there no hope? I’m not even in jewelry making mode right now. I’m in quilt making mode with a slight leaning toward painting. To complicate everything, the pottery niggle is getting pretty strong also, but, I can’t cope with thinking about that right now. So why? And, (save me now). All I can say […]
Pickles.
Decided to pose for us. Albeit reluctantly. You’ve got to love her. She has issues. Fat issues. I try not to draw attention to it as I want her to feel comfortable in her skin, but, she lay on my chest last night and I felt as though she collapsed a lung. She’s been dieting, […]
No pressies for us … or, why don’t you put the reindeer outside already …
No time to write today. Probably a good thing, yes? So instead. – Yes, I really do work like this. Once a project’s on, it’s on. See those reindeer? They’ve been waiting to be taken to the garden to cheer on Santa to our house, but, every time I walk into the room I get […]
You’ll be pleased to know that
I’m finally back to reading. And, you will also be relieved to know that I have, at last, figured out how to make my Instagram photo’s larger. I realize that this was worrying a lot of you out there. I know I’m a happier person for it. I’ll probably forget how to do it tomorrow, […]
Why did the Mayan’s have to ruin my Christmas?
O.K. Just because they messed up and got to abandon all hope, why do they have to go and ruin it for the rest of us? Didn’t they know I’m a hypochondriacal, hyper-vigilant, neurotic, scaredy-cat, worrier person and that I wouldn’t cope very well with all that end of the world stuff? And what’s with […]
