Just to prove that my fingers can still move across a keyboard, briefly… As previously mentioned, I recently discovered that trainee midwives use knitted breasts as lactation training tools for new mothers and, being a knitter myself, I made some for the friend of The Kid who has bravely and selflessly begun such training. I…

Mists and mellow…
Traditionally (I believe) Spring is the season of new beginnings and fresh starts, but for me it is the Autumn that brings those things. Cold, clean air that is moved along by gusts full of orange leaves is easier to breath. Bright sunlight that illuminates without overheating is easier to see with. Walking home during…
Quick follow up = pretty pictures
Just a follow up from the previous buzzy post – a new book has arrived (review likely after it has been thoroughly digested) so the fascination with bees appears to be continuing, much to my delight.
Knowing when to let them go
It’s time. The vast array of Kitchen Friends have to be sent off to pastures new. I really feel like I should point out that I had quite a large stash of these BEFORE the lockdown started – I do not use twice as much loo roll as the rest of the world…it just looks…

Antarctic penguins poop nitrous oxide…laughing gas. Just thought you should know.
Dipping a second toe
As previously moaned about (here) I thought long and hard before posting a brief bit of writing I had done many moons ago. But, in for a penny, in for a pound so here is a little more. War, horsewoman of the Apocalypse War leaned across the table and through gritted teeth growled “I don’t…

Random thoughts
I don’t know if I am having more or fewer random thoughts right now, it is hard to tell with everything else that is going on, but here are three of the most recent: It is going to feel REALLY WERID to walk into a supermarket without having to queue first. I really hope I…
Admitting defeat
I have failed. Below is my entire windowsill cress harvest. Just to put your minds at rest – the remaining massively out of date seeds will be composted and so take their parts in that circle of life malarkey. Someone, whose mouse and keyboard privileges may be revoked soon, has already ordered some more…FREE SALAD!…
Friday! (is it Friday?)
Today’s one and only task is to figure out how we uphold the grand tradition of POETS day* when furloughed or working from home. I might go with ‘slob out in jogging bottoms as soon as the clock hits 1pm’, but I’m not sure I’d notice much difference. (*Piss Off Early, Tomorrow’s Saturday)
