Kits and Mortar Tumblr Strange Attractor Del.icio.us links TwitterI don't think I've ever got so wound up by the film adaptation of a book that I've found myself struggling to express myself. But from what I've read today about David L Cunningham's adaptation of Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising, the second book in the eponymous sequence, well, I'm horrified almost to the […]
At last! After gathering a sample of pretty much every shade of burgundy card available in London, I've finally found exactly the right one! Yes, I will admit that I've been on a bit of a mission, and yes, perhaps I've been a bit more rigourous than maybe I needed to be, but I am […]
It's come! Finally! Yay!!!
Kevin brought home some bubbly, and cooked a lovely meal and, just when I was least expecting it, he came round to my side of the table, got down on one knee, and re-proposed! Of course, I re-accepted.
It's amazing to finally have the ring after so long. The stones are just so […]
I had such plans for today, including lunch plans, that all went for a Burton when I noticed at about 10.30 that I couldn't read. My heart sank. I hate migraines, and the first sign for me is that I lose the ability to see what's in the centre of my field of vision. Shortly […]
In the autumn of 2005, I was out on a second date with a rather lovely American guy that I'd met a month or so before. That Sunday, we'd arranged to meet for lunch - which is always a fairly safe bet for a second date, given that one can make up an afternoon engagement […]
Os dach chi'n defnyddio'r porwr Firefox - ac os dach chi ddim, pam ddim?! - ac dach chi eisiau gweld popeth sydd yn Gymraeg yn Gymraeg, rhaid i chi newid eich blaenoriaethau iaith i Gymraeg. Ewch i 'Preferences', wedyn 'Advanced' a chlicio ar y tab 'General' ac ar waelod y tudalen byddwch chi'n gweld adran […]
Thanks to the Lolcat Generator.
After the disappointment of the last dressmaker I spoke to, who turned out to have a totally unreasonable attitude towards whether or not one should pay for quotes (wtf?! If it was acceptable to pay for quotes, builders would do nothing else!), I turned back to one of the first dressmakers that I found from […]
I've always found stationery to be very exciting. Don't ask me why, but the sight of a clean, pristine sheet of paper just fills me with joy. Blank books even more so… actually, to the point at which I have banned myself from buying new books until the ones I have are full up. My […]
Dw i wedi bod defnyddio Twitter ers sbel nawr, yn y Saesneg, ac dw i'n ei garu fo. Wefan siml ac hwyl ydy o, ble dw i'n gallu dweud wrth y byd be' dw i'n gwneud. Medra i siarad ?¢ phobl hefyd - mewn 140 llythrennau neu llai. Mae 'na wasanaeth tecstio, felly medrwch chi […]
Sunday I spent some time making a few back-of-an-envelope calculations at to how much tulle* I would need to make my wedding veil. I've spent quite a bit of time looking for patterns and instructions online, having initially found a really very simple set of instructions which made me suspicious because, well, it can't really […]
How excited am I to be able to finally, legitimately, announce the new internet radio station, Shadowglobe? Oh, I'd say… rather excited indeed! Iain Baker - Mr Keyboard Breaker to his friends - tantalisingly gave me the dev URL and swore me to secrecy some weeks back, so I've been able to listen, but completely […]
Almost the first thing Kevin said when I got home on Friday was “Can you explain to me the cultural significance of Take A Break?”, at which point I burst out laughing.
Yes, that's right, this week, I'm in Take A Break magazine (you better rush - it goes off the shelves tomorrow). A while back, […]
