I’m considering a new mobile phone.
Whenever I’m out, I have my mobile phone in the front pocket of my leather back pack. I hear it ring probably one in five time, I’d say, and that is so very annoying. My fiancé will try to ring me, and will have to try over and over, because [...]

Tea, Tulips, and Biscuits
Posted in Life on Mar 29th, 2010
I love Spring, and for a long time now I’ve always loved having tea with biscuits on my front porch whilst looking at all my lovely new tulips.
Tea and biscuits are good any time of year, but there’s something so nice about a pot of tea to share with your man, and a few decorated [...]
But it doesn’t always feel that way, does it?
The other day, the other day I had a FAIL day. My day of FAIL went like this: First, I was expecting to be paid. It was late. I rang my bank, and after much wrangling, basically found out from them that they’d had an especially high [...]
On a whim I picked up the spare spindle I was sent and tried my hand at spinning my sample of silk roving.
OMG it’s wonderful! I’ve only tried my hand at spinning the Dorset wool so far, and whilst it’s coming along alright, I do feel awkward drafting it out to be thin enough [...]
So tired! Ugh!
I do realise I complain an awful lot, but at the same time, that’s only because I experience a lot of discomfort! Today my joints are all still sore, and in spite of a big sleep, with an hour extra courtesy of my fiancé – thank you baby, love and kisses for you! [...]
I’m displeased about it, but that doesn’t make it any less true. I’m a bad cook. *sulk*
My mother is a very good cook, and she has cooked for my fiancé in the past, a long time ago. He remembers a korma curry she made for him that, in spite of my best efforts, kicks the [...]
Ponyo was beautiful!

What a beautiful film! Ahh, what a pleasant surprise it was!
The DVD had been sitting there on the shelf where we keep our DVDs for I don’t know how long. My fiance wasn’t too interested in watching it, and to be honest, I wasn’t overly enthusiastic to begin with. I mean, I’m always enthusiastic to [...]
11 Siberian Tigers
Posted in Life on Mar 14th, 2010
I recently read about the death of 11 Siberian tigers, and had to talk about it here.
I am very, very angry about this. Here’s the story. 11 tigers being held in the Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Zoo in Liaoning province have died in the past three months. That’s 11 Siberian tigers, a species which [...]
Cat noises
Posted in Life on Mar 8th, 2010
Our girl-cat is making a lot of noise right now… whilst she’s asleep.
She’s sitting in a computer chair fast asleep right now as my fiancé plays Civilization IV. I like the music from that game, and love to sit and knit and watch him play. Right now I’m blogging though… stated Captain Obvious! Anyway, [...]
I want to learn colourwork!
Posted in knitting on Mar 8th, 2010
I love knitting, and love learning new ways to knit. Now I want to learn colourwork, which is also known as intarsia.
Intarsia or colourwork is a form of knitting where you knit with multiple colours at a time. Kind of like fair-isle, however the patterns aren’t so specific. With intarsia, you could have something [...]
