Last week I bought a replacement MP3 player (my old Sony was burning through the batteries and wouldn’t play certain formats), this time it’s the 4GB version of my old Creative Zen. I’ve started the arduous process of loading up the MP3 player with the appropriate music… It was during yet another play list organizing [...]

In anticipation of Baby Boy being an early arrival like his sister and my need (OCD) to be as prepared as possible way ahead of time I’ve started to assemble and pack my hospital/labour bag(s). The bags won’t be completely packed till I actually go into labour as I will still need some of the [...]

It still amazes the restorative power of food, pair that with some great company and you pretty much have the fix for what was a bit of a frustrating week. Last night me and some workmates went out for the final night of Summerlicious. Our destination was Noce and it was fabulous!!! For my first course [...]

My gadget whoredome is well know among the people who know me and I’m often good naturedly teased about it. One person said that this inclination is merely proof that my father raised me well. In reality my father is only part responsible, apparently my Nan Richardson was a bit of a gadget junkie as [...]

For some unknown reason I’m drawn to this spindle. It has the double whammy of being a Golding Spindle (met Mr. Golding at Rhinebeck, such a sweetie!), having a piratey/gothy/”Dude it’s a freakin’ skull and cross bones on my spindle!!!” theme going on. I wonder how much coin is in the Fibery Pursuits Jar?

I’m now seeing my Dr. every two weeks and we are monitoring things to see if any of the complications I was starting to develop with Abi are going to make an appearance. Today we saw what might be the first red flag. Two weeks ago at my last appointment my measurements were bang on [...]

Yesterday I was finally able to get a few photos of Abi in the garden. Surveying the “crops”. Obligatory hand washing scene. The beans are very prolific this year. The peas not so much.

I still haven’t replaced my beloved Creative ZEN player that bricked itself a few weeks ago. I have been making do with my old clunky Sony MP3 player but it’s a bit of a drag, it only recognizes certain encodings (I think that’s the right term) so some of the audio books I have in [...]

Lettuce knit had received their recent shipment of Socks that Rock. The Muggles will need an explanation, the Knitters will just simply nod their heads in understanding. STR is not new to me, I had been at the store when previous shipments had arrived and had been unmoved by the yarns. I thought they were [...]
