Rayburn 880

This Rayburn 880, ex-display, may be mine soon. We’re working on it. I went in to pet it today – Mr L was asking sensible questions about whether or not it could be fitted in our kitchen. I just knew that it could. The news on the fitting front is good. We still await full …

365:100 Miracles Happen

The last few times that I have been into town, I have seen Revelry harboured at Kirkwall. She’s registered as K100 and I thought that it would be a miracle if I happened to be in town on Day 100 of my 365 and she was tied up when I was there. Well, miracles do …

Purple Passion

FINALLY – off my wheel. Ready to wash and I am looking forward to seeing this one bloom. About 500 yards and 112 grams of 3 ply. 1 ply silk and 2 of blended fibre (BFL, silk and IIRC, alpaca) Slight slip up in that both skeins are the same length more or less, but …

If I’d had my way, today’s photograph would have been brown and chocolatey. With ice cream. However … The Atomic Number of Einsteinium is 99. Named after Einstein, of course. [i]Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.[/i] Albert Einstein

Today is [url=http://www.dabday.com/index.html]Draw a Bird Day[/url]. There’s a lovely story behind this, so do follow the link. Oh, and it’s actually meant to be an[i] owl[/i], I …

You’ve been framed

It has been a difficult day but I did find time to go to spinning and I did fire off a few shots, though nothing specifically intended for blipping.

According to Wikipedia, [b]97[/b] is the title of a song by a band named [i]Alkaline Trio[/i]. I have been fighting Web Monsters and Site Gremlins all day. I’m whacked. This is the best that I could come up with at short notice.

Sunday Brunch
