It’s my 10th anniversary as a bookcrosser today. Strange to think I’ve been doing it for so long, although given how much I’ve done over the past 10 years (travelling all around the world, organising conventions, meeting all sorts of weird and wonderful people) 10 years doesn’t actually seem long enough to fit it all…
Or rather, vote for my team, who have been nominated in the 2012 Digital Humanities Awards http://DHawards.org/DHawards2012/voting. We’ve been nominated in the “Best DH project for public audiences” category, for our CEISMIC digital archive. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned CEISMIC on here, have I? That’s where I’ve been working for the last couple…
The phantom marmite deliverer was Rarsberry. Thanks!
A mysterious gift of marmite just appeared in our hallway (at least, I assume it just arrived – I’m pretty certain it wasn’t there last time I walked past). Neither of us heard it arrive, but it’s a lovely day so the front door is wide open, so whoever it was obviously just popped it…

ith the emphasis on the loco… In a couple of hours, we’re off to the airport to pick up the Nephews for their first proper solo visit (is it solo when there’s two of them? duo visit?). We’ve had Nephew #1 stay once before, but that was only for a night, and Dad had brought…
ow that the grey and horrible weather has ended (to be replaced by a nasty nor’wester that makes it too hot to move – we can’t win), I decided to make the most of a bit of sunshine to go for a walk with my camera this morning. I only got as far as Jellie…
enny is a serious knitter. She knits vastly complicated patterns that actually turn into wearable clothing, using the sorts of fancy expensive wool that you have to be pretty confident about your ability to spend that much money on.

on’t get used to me posting this much – it’s just because for a change having time to post and something to post about (or at least, pretty pictures to fill the page :-)) have coincided. I’m sure to drop off again come February. But in the meantime, pictures of cats “helping” us unwrap presents:…
