I love the first of December. It’s like there’s this invisible, magical … glow to everything. I love it even more now because it’s Martin’s birthday - even though it’s a Tuesday we slept in and I made scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and juice for breakfast (oh, the benefits of being students in project-mode!). It was [...]

Thinking about Glasgow
So I’m sitting here, working on the project (and spontaneously jotting down novel ideas, wouldn’t you know) when I came across Attic24. Long story short, I’ve suddenly got a desire to eat my way through Glasgow. Or Scotland, or the UK, or whichever you prefer.
I want to eat fish and chips. I want to know [...]

Twilight
I may or may not have become a Twilight nut.
It all started out innocently enough some months ago when me and Martin wanted to rent a movie but couldn’t agree on anything (he likes horrors, I like chick flicks) and ended up getting Twilight because it “looked interesting”. Well, I absolutely loved it. When the end credits [...]

Lethargy
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 [...]
