Lobster / Snobber
If the words Vomit, Flu, Deadline, and Lethargy had been some of those omitted from the Junior OUP Dictionary, I'd have done quite well these past four days of Every Day in May… I don't seem to remember them on the list though, so I get back in the saddle with Lobster instead. I used ...
Zen teapot
New Year – New Teapot… Mum gave this to me for Christmas and I have to say it makes drinking tea a real joy… It almost feels like a tea-handbag as I carry it about from room to room; the tea following me around :)
Box Stitch Jacket – It’s finished!
Yay! Only 11 months after I started it… ahem… Well I had other things on too. Anyhow, it’s done and mum is happy with it, so job done! I was worried the cashmerino would be too floppy, but in fact, looking at the original photo in the Jo Sharp book, it looks about right. I ...
Moving Pictures
I’d bought a copy of the The Adventures of Prince Achmed about 4 months ago, but had never got around to watching it.

Only the sleeves to go!

Box Stitch Jacket
Need to get this done for May 8th so it is coming with me this weekend to Sussex. Both fronts are done, and am just starting on the back… only the sleeves to go! [she says optimistically :)]

Go, go go!
Very proud of my mum as she has put her name down to run in the City of London Race for Life event in June. It is to raise money for Cancer Research UK… If you’d like to sponsor her then you can do it online… thank you… :)
Advent – 18 Dec ’05
Dec 18: Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a family revalation! Went over to west London today to see uncles and aunts for a delicious dinner.. Aunt G just finished writing the A-Z of Italian cookery (after 2 years – apparantly the previous author had taken 20 and the editors were keen to keep her from ...
