We have the dreaded November lurgee in Casa Bookish. I have also found myself embroiled in an unexpected and uncalled-for family drama (it’s double the fun when you’re in another country). So, this is all the blogging you’ll get out of me today.
This little animated video will have to do:
Peace out, dudes and dudettes. Although [...]
Where on earth do you guys come from?
Fourth Edition was started last year after a six-month-ish blog hiatus. Earlier the same year my then blog, Bookish, had been deleted by my then web host (others had similar problems with the company and were far more vocal than me - good on ya, Ras). [...]
We went to the 3D/2D Craft Fair today. Having recently visited survived the Crafts For Scotland/Hobbycrafts, I was wary of visiting today’s fair but came away quite impressed. Not only does this craft fair have superior quality control, they are also far more diverse whilst remaining local. Unlike Hobbycrafts you don’t have navigate around [...]
Yesterday someone I knew roughly fifteen years ago wrote to me via Facebook. She asked me if I were dying because she had noticed my status updates on Facebook (and quite possibly this blog) and was, I quote, sooo worried about me!!!!!!!!!
One thing which absolutely fascinates me about blogging and, by extension, social networking on [...]
Things seem to fall into place today as you’ll find from these links and stories.

I received an email from an old internet friend that I’d fallen out of touch with several years ago. After adding each other to the key social networking places (as you do) we discovered that since we last spoke, we [...]
Being back at work - a topic not fit for blogging, obviously - and nursing a migraine - a topic not really blogworthy - cannot be said to be conducive to blogging.
I have, however, been knitting a fair bit. Stayed tuned for “exciting” pictures and pattern ruminations. There is also that little thing [...]
I don’t know about you, but I think it is decidedly odd to see marathon runners on Tiananmen Square. The sight underlined why I think these Olympics have left me feeling uncomfortable whenever I have caught some coverage.
Witnessing the British media mysteria surrounding these Olympics Games has made me decide to be out of Great [...]
I promised E. that I’d list the podcasts I like. I’m relatively new to podcasts (I’m slow on the uptake), so I’m yet to build up a list of definitive favourites. If someone has recommendations, I’d be happy to hear them!
Left Field Cinema is an intelligent podcast looking at both arthouse cinema (like Kieslowski) and [...]
These past few days have been rather rough. I’m struggling to get enough sleep and my body feels as though I have been running several marathons. I haven’t even touched knitting once, that is how exhausted I have been.
So blogging feels like an afterthought.
But I’m learning new exotic phrases from my blog spam [...]
One of these days I’m going to knuckle down, find the copy of WordPress for Dummies that Auntie M. gave me for Christmas*, recover the password for my webhost and do another installation of WP on the second SQL server.
(* WP was messing me about at that point. Possibly the three-hospitals-in-11-days thing didn’t help either. [...]
Lovely: Wisely - Through Any Window
A gorgeous, gorgeous song. I can't believe I never watched the video before now.
Patrick Wolf does Eurovision! (the 2007 offering from Ukraine, worryingly enough)
Franz Ferdinand - Love & Destroy - inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master & Margarita (which you should absolutely read).
Gorgeous version by Kira Skov and Marie Fisker.
