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). [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
For various reasons I have been unable to post a photo of my first major foray into knitting in fifteen years. This is the stole shawl that spawned an obsession, dear readers.
I have known E. for many years and she is one of my closest friends. She turned forty in February and I [...]
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.

I never thought I’d quote Peter Frampton, buffon’d singer of the ’70s, but in the words of the man who made one of the best selling live albums of all time and wrote the winner of Eurovision 2008*, oh baby, baby it’s a small world.
I’m surfing Ravelry when I come across a pattern by Slagt [...]
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 [...]
This is my first major lace work (bar two projects we shall not mention) and I’m actually pretty happy with it despite my overly critical eye. The pattern is called “Swallowtail” and it’s a nice little shawl. It was knitted in lovely DROPS Alpaca (which is available in Danish yarn shops, hint hint!). The [...]
I have been playing around with widgets today trying to find the perfect a suitable library-type widget for displaying current and past reads. I found the Now Reading widget and it seemed great. It was simple, didn’t require me to sign up to a website (Shelfari, anyone?) nor did it provide me with intrusive graphics [...]
