Sorry about the radio silence again. For some reason (I’m blaming the weird time zone in Spain and southern France), I actually got hit with a bit of jet-lag this time (normally I’m pretty good at avoiding it), and that combined with the usual post-holiday slump, and the grey weather, left me feeling pretty unmotivated…
ven though (or perhaps because) I work in a digital lab, I have a touch of the Luddite about me. I like technology, but in its place – I’m not a fan of technology for the sake of it. I like to use the tool that does the job best for me, which is not…
Seeing as the conference was on a Friday, I decided to stay up in Wellington for the weekend. Discoverylover, as well as offering me a bed, arranged a bookcrossing meetup for the Friday evening, so after the conference finished I walked down to the railway station to meet up with her and the other bookcrossers…
DD was down for a couple of weeks, and it’s amazing how much the urge to blog strikes when you don’t have a platform! Of course, now that it’s back, I can’t remember any of the stuff I wanted to write about, so I’ll have to content myself with pretty pictures of crafty things I…
Sorry about the delay in posting. A combination of being too busy, and having many many photos I wanted to add to a post, but my computer’s been playing up again (I’m about to give up and pay someone to fix it properly, because my “wiggle a few wires and hope” fix keeps failing) and…
Not much I can add to that, really. Except think of me at 10 am tomorrow (NZST). And keep your fingers crossed that Cyclone Cook (yep, another one!) diverts back out to sea before this rain gets any worse…
I finished my crocheted dishcloth! It actually went pretty quickly once I got the hang of it. Now that I know what I’m doing, I might have to go and buy some more wool (or cotton, or cotton wool… you know what I mean) so I can make another one to have as a spare….
Back working on my models again. I thought I’d be almost finished by now, but last week I discovered I’d missed a couple of crucial steps from the process, so I pretty much had to start from scratch again (not quite, because a lot of the work I’d done before will be useful, but still…
Nope, that definitely doesn’t line up. Even though I spent ages checking and double-checking and was sure it lined up properly before I sewed the final seam, I must have moved it slightly while I was sewing it and now it is just off enough to be totally noticeable (to me, anyway), so I’m going…
omeone has pinched my green bin!* I came home tonight (after yet another end-of-year function at work) and went to empty the wee compost bin I keep in the kitchen, and the green bin wasn’t in my driveway where it normally lives. The other two bins are there, so obviously whoever took it only needed…
