Can You Return to Your Childhood?

by
I was still feeling a little cheated that I could not walk to the water’s edge, (see previous post) but I tried to summon up a little enthusiasm for the other reason we were here on Hayling Island. We were here at Anita’s request to take a trip on the island’s Light Railway, which…

What skill would you like to learn? #Piano #MyDad
—
by
Apart from wishing I was a techno genius, I have always wanted to be able to play the piano. My father, bless him, who I never got meet thanks to WW2, could play like an angel, I have been told. He could also cut a mad rug, and I have this mental picture of a…

More Fun and Games… #Crochet #Blocking
As you can see from the picture, I have no room in my office due to drying all my completed granny squares. Originally, being new to this granny square business, I thought all I had to do was stitch them all together. But that didn’t turn out to be as easy as it sounds. Nothing…

I meant to post this review yesterday, but my brain decided to take the day off and no amount of nagging was going to change its mind. It seems to be present and correct this morning, thank goodness! Huge thanks to Sally Cronin for writing this follow-up to her brilliant book Size Matters. I didn’t…

Back to Normal… (if there is such a thing)
The dust is finally starting to settle after a chaotic few days, where this website went to hell and back! There is now a welcome air of normality floating around my office, and it feels wonderful. I am delighted that nearly everything has righted itself, with some exceptions. The sidebar looks odd; some book covers…

Tuesday Troubles…

by
You may have noticed that everything has gone a bit pear shaped today, folks. Well, I think it happened yesterday when I wasn’t looking. I decided to cancel the plan we were on because we couldn’t afford it anymore. This was easily done, and I assumed we would return to the plan we were on…
