So it seems I can either write blog posts, or I can record videos. Doing either one seems to sap my creative energy for doing the other (or maybe it’s just that doing one makes me forget about the other). Which is a roundabout way of saying I’ve been even more terrible than usual at keeping…
Usual excuses – too busy doing stuff to write about it (though I did make a few more videos, which may have contributed to the lack of blog posts – videos are fun to make, but incredibly time-consuming to edit, and by the time I’ve sat at the computer for long enough to do that,…
alf-square triangles and flying geese aside, it’s been a very busy couple of weeks, both socially and with the final push to get QuakeStudies 2.0 finished in time for the launch. We’ve been working on the upgrade (which is actually a totally new build, and then migrating all 148,000 items across from the old system…
I started the quilting! I did get quite a bit further than that today, but by the time I thought to take another photo the light was no good. So you’ll just have to wait 🙂 I managed to get just over a quarter of it done, though, so I’m making good progress. And the…
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….
No progress on (any of) the quilt(s), because I’ve been too busy the last couple of days being social and stuff. Dad came up yesterday, because friends of his were hosting a mini music festival out at Whitecliffs (about 70 km from Christchurch) today. He’d originally invited me to go out there with him today…
This weekend was the last of my totally-booked-out weekends of November, and it was the busiest of all (well, apart from the convention weekend, of course). First, on Saturday, after a quick attempt to clean the house, I went into town to meet up with Harvestbird and family for the Climate March. There was a…
As predicted, the kids stayed up until the very early hours playing computer games – they tell me it was “only” until 1 am, but I woke up a couple of times in the night and could still hear them, so I suspect it was actually much later. Which meant they didn’t get up until…
ot home from Wellington last night, and almost immediately went back out again, to a games evening with Mrs Gwilk and mini-Gwilk – which was fun, but I’m feeling very very tired today. And today has been taken up with those boring but necessary post-holiday activities like washing clothes and buying groceries. Oh, and of…
esterday wasn’t all about the elections (the less said about the results of which the better). After I finished my shift at the polling booth I walked down to Hands and stocked up on a few* supplies for a class I’m going to with MrsGwilk on Tuesday. Then, as predictions of rain had been proved…
