Today has not been the best of days for various reasons but one thing does amuse me: David and I are on the guest list to an exclusive event at the Scottish Parliament.
My life sometimes surprises even me.

I have a guilty pleasure blog that I read ever so often whenever I either want to cheer myself up or want to depress myself (and sometimes I want both - I’m a complex woman). The blog in question is Tartelette and it is a food blog. No, let me rephrase that: it’s a food […]
Oh, you Scottish summer.. We’ve been having thunder on-and-off for most of the day and it’s raining, raining, raining. Suddenly knitting a wool sweater in July doesn’t seem like such a stupid idea.

Don’t you just love lists? I do.
+ Mattel has made The Birds Barbie. It’s brilliant. (thank you Darth Ken)

Ever heard of Sectarianism? It is: “..bigotry, discrimination, intolerance or hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a […]
Following Friday’s unfortunate stroll, I decided I should probably take things easy. What brought it home? It was possibly the fact that when I passed out on Friday, I narrowly escaped having my forehead cut open thanks to broken glass lying on the ground. This time I was lucky and as for next time .. […]
Isn’t that just pretty?
My Canadian friend, Fearthainn, wrote to me asking for my snail mail when she realised that a) I had rediscovering crocheting and knitting and b) I had fallen ill.
And she has just sent me the most beautiful handspun yarn I have ever seen in my life. Yes, she is a […]
