…., movement of Jah people! Oh yeah!
I have just taken delivery of two rodent repellers.
I must admit I am a bit disappointed not to have little line of dispirited mice, paws over ears, little suitcases under arms, threading their way down the garden to find a quieter home.
Hmm.
Hope these things work.
On another [...]
Just when you think you’ve read it all before, you come across a new gem, like Just enough and nothing more which excels in though provoking posts and quotes like “We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and [...]
I’m getting to rather enjoy Saturdays
Our local library reopened a couple of weeks back – we rounded up most of the many books we’d borrowed to see us through the barren months and tootled off for a pleasant hour finding alternatives.
Quite sad to see the back of Dangles and Bangles, and Gifts for [...]
Because I really think I need to buy someone one of these.
Jan, um, when is your birthday? I think this would go nicely with your ketchup bottle.
***You Are Red Orange***
You are a very genuine person, although it takes a while for you to show the true you.
A bit introverted, you desire respect and affection from those close to you.
You are quite empathetic, and you have a true concern for the well being of others.
Many people have warm, heartfelt memories of you [...]
Do schools today kill creativity? (Ken Robinson, TEDTalks)
Apologies to those of you who have seen this before. I hadn’t.
There’s an advert on the radio at the moment to do with mobile phones.
“It’sYou’re hard four times to concentratemore onlikely to have two thingsa crash atwhen the you’re on same a mobile timephone.”
Rant part one – do they really think that playing this particular advert on the radio (a thing that ppl listen to [...]
Or so I am informed by a gentleman who kindly (and unsolicitedly) sent me news of an investment opportunity this morning.
Anyway, I am blessed by a Small presence today. Having fairly comprehensively redecorated his bedroom earlier he has been just sitting looking glum this morning. Very unlike him. So we have added to the telltale [...]
Has to be one of the best quotes so far, from a series full of cool quotes.
I’m enjoying it, a lot. Almost makes me wish I wore a tie – I often feel rather drab in my office wear. Perhaps if I put on a rainbow top I’d feel more myself?
Tough times at [...]
Thieves may be specifically targeting Staffordshire Bull Terriers, a report obtained by the BBC says….. The report, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, says some criminals may be using the dogs to guard “criminal assets”.
Must be tricky….
I have stolen a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, how shall I guard it?
I know, I will steal a [...]
the appeal
Big is signed up to rspb wildlife explorers, courtesy of Barbara and co. This year their appeal is on behalf of albatrosses – she’s made up the money box and already put some of her own pocket money into it. Now she’s making bracelets, in both children and adult sizes. What [...]
A pair of fairy wings. A dolls house doll. An episode of CSI, most of a romantic Saturday evening.
I had plans for last night. Lots of plans for last night. Most of them went by the wayside when Big decided to redecorate the bathroom floor. Shortly after she’d done that, [...]
The title is by Tim
The shrug is by me, for Big.
It’s based on the bamboozled shrug I linked to a week or so back, and I got it out of the Crochet pattern-a-day calendar.
I’m quite chuffed with it – I used the king cole pure baby dk I bought before Christmas. It [...]

Two it would appear.
One to go and get the jar opening device, attach it to the lid, and then stare at it glumly as the jar turns as well.
The second one to say “you need to hold it” and then proceed to do so, as the first turns the lid on its own this time.
I’ll [...]
The UN has come up with a new warning sign for radiation. Nods to The Register
Seems to go a little far, and I am wondering if other warning signs need to be redesigned to match.
Here is one I thought might be good…..
Warning, supermarket car park ahead.
…or thereabouts. I have just stripped Big’s latest efforts from her camera and she seems to be getting better. I liked this one of Small very much.
I do think photography is a great thing for them to be doing – elements of art, science and craft all rolled into one. Aren’t digital cameras wonderful? I [...]
Per request, here is the mermaid/kit doll, complete with sustifficate. ….and various other bits of stuff.
Sorry, needlecraft is pretty much totally lost on me, the only thing I can say about crochet and sewing is that they are a lot less annoying than knitting.
