Typing + tiredness = not working

Posted on Monday, 15th November 2010 by Lou

Since I’m extremely tired today (I have new medication which is making me drowsy, hopefully just for the adjustment period, and every time I sit down somewhere relaxing I drop off!), I’m not going to say much again. I haven’t … finish reading “Typing + tiredness = not working”

Things and Stuff

Posted on Saturday, 13th November 2010 by Lou

Today has been a day of variety, which has been nice! I started out by going up to the Christmas fair for Mum’s church – I got there quite late on, so I helped clear up and carry the remaining … finish reading “Things and Stuff”

Applying myself

Posted on Thursday, 11th November 2010 by Lou

I need an editor to stop me from making horrible puns, don’t I? But it’s true, today I have been applying myself to plying two bobbins of handspun together. I haven’t done the whole lot yet, and there won’t be … finish reading “Ap*ply*ing myself”

Posted on Tuesday, 9th November 2010 by Lou

When I’ve not been out (Tuesdays is the day I volunteer at the library) or on the computer today, I’ve been industriously knitting away on my Travelling Woman shawl. I’m determined to finish it soon! I am a little worried … finish reading “Stitch by stitch”

Fly By

Posted on Monday, 8th November 2010 by Lou

I have no time to make a the post I’d planned tonight (knitting & spinning related)… although it serves me right for leaving it so late. I’d planned to have a nice bath, then post and be off to bed. … finish reading “Fly By”

WIP Blitz

Posted on Sunday, 7th November 2010 by Lou

The last, oh, while, I’ve been feeling quite determined to finish off all the knitting projects I have sitting around partly done. Which is good! Right? Right. It feels like I’ve done more knitting this year than I actually have … finish reading “WIP Blitz”

Cardi Decisions

Posted on Saturday, 6th November 2010 by Lou

Originally, I made the title of this post “Cardicisions”, which looked like I was trying to choose a vehicle, and then “Cardecisions”, which looked like I don’t know what. So in the end I decided to discard all unclever word … finish reading “Cardi Decisions”

LJ & DW

Posted on Friday, 5th November 2010 by Lou

For the first time in forever, I’ve made a post to Livejournal and Dreamwidth (the same one, crossposted). I’ve been meaning to for ages, but I kept stalling on how to divide things between there and here, and… oh, you … finish reading “LJ & DW”

Digital Housekeeping

Posted on Wednesday, 3rd November 2010 by Lou

I’ve been doing housekeeping tasks on the computer all day1, and I still haven’t even scratched the surface. Or that’s how it feels – I’ve backed a load of ebooks and photos up onto DVD, and cleared up my podcasts … finish reading “Digital Housekeeping”

Late night blogging

Posted on Tuesday, 2nd November 2010 by Lou

Whoops… I’m really tired today, and I nearly forgot to post. Wouldn’t that have been a good start to NaBloPoMo. As it is I have no time to think up anything clever or interesting (as if there’s ever anything along … finish reading “Late night blogging”
