Sunday snowfall

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

It snowed overnight, leaving a white world to wake up to. It's quite late for snow here, although it has snowed in May and maybe even June before, and the only other snow we've had this year was over the Easter weekend. The Easter snow wasn't much to ...

Crash helmet tiger ears

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

I bought some tiger ears for my crash helmet last year. I was initially concerned with how well the ears would stay attached to my lid, being secured by only a sucker cup each, and was always relieved when I got to my destination with both ears still present. ...

No new guitar for now

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I have been toying with the idea of buying a new guitar, a Les Paul replica most likely. I am hoping this would spur me in to playing more regularly again and trying to learn more theory rather than just ape songs, and not just leave the guitar standing ...

Peeling a mango

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

The internet is a marvelous beast. It can inform a person how to peel a mango properly so that the delicious, juicy fruit can be best separated from its peel to be enjoyed in a bowl with some cream. What the internet cannot do is tell that same person that ...

Kenickie brings in the rubbish

Friday, March 28th, 2008

When Kenickie first started venturing outside he would go a-hunting in his own way, and this led to him bringing in his 'kills', which were leaves. He was probably attracted to them being blown around by the wind. This was rather cute, if a little messy after they ...

When will I learn?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I just finished THE CHEESE. It looked so tempting in the fridge, even with chocolate lying nearby! On the one hand, I should really have limited myself to at least half what was left, not the rest of it, even though it looked perfectly manageable, and on the ...

Tiger fur duvet cover

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Months ago I was encouraged to try my hand at sewing. I personally need a tangible project to complete for me to get involved with a hobby, and I was able to come up with the idea of making a duvet cover from fake tiger fur to get me ...

Cheese gives me nightmares

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

I quite fancied some cheese yesterday, so I popped in to the shops on my way home and picked up a tasty chunk of Cambozola and Wensleydale with cranberries, as well as a bit of pepperoni and some crackers. By golly, it was tasty. The Cambozola was smooth ...

Kenickie meets the snow

Monday, March 24th, 2008

It snowed over the Easter weekend, occasionally enough to settle for an hour or two, but nothing particularly serious. It was still quite pretty and I think it's the first snow we had this year. I imagine it will be the last too, unless it snows in June ...
