‘m trying very hard to ignore the headachey sniffliness which has been creeping up on me since yesterday afternoon, because I absolutely don’t have time to have a cold at the moment. We’ve got our office Christmas party tonight, and there’s a tonne of stuff I want to get done this weekend, and three more…
Phase 2 complete: (Photos taken by Lucy-Jane) Yes, the lights do flash on and off.
here’s a competition going on along our corridor to decorate your office door for Christmas. So our team have decided to go all-out to try and beat the College Office staff. Phase one of our plan was Lucy-Jane zipping down to Lincraft at lunchtime yesterday to buy a length of calico and some dark green…
oor Parsnips got in a fight last night, and I suspect got the worst of it, because she was looking pretty sorry for herself. Lots of tufts of fur sticking out all over, and definitely a few tender spots she wouldn’t let me touch. She was looking a bit happier when I left for work…
iving a speech tonight at Toastmasters – it’s my 6th speech, so that means I’ll be more than half way to my first qualification. I’m definitely seeing a benefit from attending (as well as having met new cool and interesting people, of course) – even though giving a speech is still nerve-wracking, I’m getting a…

ast night was fun, but I didn’t get home until 11.30 – which wouldn’t have been a problem except that I had to get up at 6 to catch the complicated series of buses to get me over to New Brighton (getting anywhere by bus on a Sunday morning is not fun – when I…
may possibly have over-scheduled this weekend just a tad. It’s not my fault that all the interesting stuff happens the same weekend! (Though I suppose it is my fault I can never turn anything down – a serious case of FOMO, as I believe the cool kids call it.) This morning started with a race…
Binding complete, so I can tick that one off the Secret Santa list. (Sorry for the rubbish photo – it’s pouring with rain, so the light is terrible, but I wanted to get a photo before I wrapped it up). I’m so pleased with how it turned out! I’m feeling all inspired to try so…
Ok, so some of the curves aren’t the smoothest, and I totally failed at keeping my speed constant, so the stitches are all different lengths, but I’m still very pleased with it for a first attempt. And I reckon the recipient, who’s not a quilter, won’t even know that those are errors 🙂
