I think a lot of people can relate when I tell you that I look at the window, look around my room, think of all the things I have to do and go “meh”. I would rather sleep and watch TV and eat unhealthy things. I don’t want to go outside because it’s cold and [...]

Unearthed
I just pulled 3 old projects out from under the bed. Emily, 28thirty and my dad’s mittens. They’re all pretty wrinkly. I plan to finish Emily soon. I’m not going to put a time-frame on it as I’d never be able to keep it. The 28thirty is going in the frog pond and the yarn [...]

A rare luxury
Me and Martin are leaving tomorrow morning to check into a very nice hotel for a weekend of shopping and pampering. For our 2 year anniversary we talked about going to a massage/spa salon but we couldn’t agree on the kind of treatment we wanted. Some time ago I fell across a great offer for a [...]

Something in the air
1. Autumn Light, 2. golden harvest, 3. Apple orchard harvest, 4. A Happy and Blessed Samhain
As I was sitting on the bus today, on my way home from yet another therapy session, we stopped briefly to let a young boy off by his home. It was a gorgeous renovated farm with lots of grassy lawns, [...]

Day before the day
I usually only say that about the day before Christmas (which we celebrate on the 24th), but today I’m saying it about my birthday. It’s tomorrow, and I’m really excited – not so much about the presents (though I am also excited about the presents – I LOVE unwrapping gifts!) but more about the day [...]

Break
I need a break. The past couple of days I’ve had flu-like symptoms, and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It wasn’t really the flu; there wasn’t really any fever, not really any snot. Joint and body pains, yes, and almost permanent fatigue. And today it dawned on me what it was: stress. I [...]

Recent favourites
I am slightly bored and have cut my thumb while slicing apples (stupid me, using the big chopping knife because the small one was dirty) which makes it difficult to knit. So I thought I’d tell you about some of my recent favourites!
Recent indulgences:
Haribo ABC licorice. Salt, sweet, chewy. It’s some of my favourite [...]

Weird and no mail
I got a spam e-mail today with the subject “Happy Penetration!”. I’m not sure if it held information about how to get happy penetration, or if it’s the same as when you say “Happy Birthday!”. Were they congratulating me on having sex? Because that ain’t happening at the moment, what with me being here and [...]

Is it just me…
… or does that Nigella woman make you want to stuff an apron down her throat to wipe that annoying, know-it-all smile off her perfect face? I don’t know why I watch this, I’m telling you. I think it’s because nothing else is on, and I like TV as my background noise. Also, some of [...]

Diet extension…
Yeah. Ahem. I’m going to have to extend my diet, since I just used my “one slip” big time. I fell for a lovely sale. I found a new online shop in the UK. Great sale, really. I’m almost regretting breaking my diet this early, but I’m extending it by a month instead!
Yes, that was [...]
