Essentially it’s social networking for art exhibitions, workshops, talks and just about anything else you can think of. You create a profile, pick your favourite venues, browse upcoming events and see what other people are interested in. You [...]

Sherry for Breakfast
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged christmas cake, family, sherry for breakfast on 3 November, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’m making Christmas cake tonight, but as usual I forgot to get the fruit soaking overnight…
So I found myself in the unusual position of licking sherry off my fingers at the breakfast table.
…the way the day is going, I probably should have gone ahead and poured myself a glass.

I’m a little behind on my list of things to do, so just a quick post today. Part of the reason I’m so behind is that the list of blogs I read seems to be expanding rapidly. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying it takes a little time to absorb all the fabulousness.
So here’s a [...]
Nervous Energy
Posted in Uncategorized on 19 October, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I seem to have had a lot of pent up energy this weekend, which mostly seems to have resulted in frantic crocheting (better than dropping crockery or screaming, I guess).
My Friday project was this:
It’s a water bottle holder. My new dance bag is fabulous, but has no space for a water bottles. Pointe shoes and [...]

This is the pace of our household at the moment…
Kipling got in a fight and took home a souvenir bite on the ear that got infected, so it’s been tablets in the food and ear drops (which is so much fun I can’t even begin to tell you…).
I’ve developed a manky cold which means I [...]

The management at Misericordia Mansions would like to announce the cessation of the Conker Experiment with immediate effect.
This decision was taken due to a 500% increase in the number of flies seen in the Mansions, and their persistent flouting of house regulations.
Spiders, please come back, all is forgiven!

We received these lovely squashes (pumpkins? I’m not good at botany) at our party. I sat them on the kitchen table, and one morning as I was blearily munching my way through breakfast, a resemblance suddenly occurred to me.

So I’ve just squeeked in with my self-imposed threepost per week deadline!
We had a little Sukkot party yesterday, which was an adventure in many ways.
First, we’d neither of us ever made a sukkah. So we decided to wing it a little, with as little equipment as possible.

I’m having quite a productive few days while Batman is away, I’ve even managed to (so far) maintain the illusion of being able to feed and take care of myself.
In the midst of the aforementioned Agatha Christie marathon I have been tatting away like fury.
It all looks terribly impressive, doesn’t it?
You’d never tell that half [...]
