No(t much) Snow

Posted on Saturday, 27th November 2010 by Lou

We’ve had a little bit of snow today, but it hasn’t really settled. Which is good, because it meant that the rails and roads were OK for getting back from the Skunk Anansie gig at Brixton Academy last night. That … finish reading “No(t much) Snow”

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”

NaBloPoMo Sept 2010 – Art

Posted on Friday, 3rd September 2010 by Lou

Although I’m a couple of days late in starting, I’ve decided to have a crack at NaBloPoMo this month. The theme is art, and I reckon that one way or another I’ve got plenty to say about various arts and … finish reading “NaBloPoMo Sept 2010 – Art”

All Hands on Deck

Posted on Wednesday, 16th December 2009 by Lou

I haven’t blogged much recently because I’ve been knitting. Which means I don’t have enough hands to type at the same time! I should at least be mostly done with the things I’m knitting as Christmas presents. Ahem. I might … finish reading “All Hands on Deck”

I killed it!

Posted on Saturday, 28th November 2009 by Lou

My photo album, that is. Ooops. And yes, this time I think it really is gone – I was attempting to set up the new version of it using the NextGEN Gallery plugin within WordPress, and I guess that clashed … finish reading “I killed it!”

Is Oratoria the plural of Oratorio?

Posted on Monday, 2nd November 2009 by Lou

Actually, I’m fairly sure it’s just “Oratorios”. Which is what I’ve mostly been singing lately, now that I’m a member of Battle Choral Society. For any non-local people: no, we don’t wear chain mail, we don’t carry weaponry other than … finish reading “Is Oratoria the plural of Oratorio?”

21: Happy Sunday!

Posted on Sunday, 26th July 2009 by Lou

OK, welcome to Sunday! Ten hours down, fourteen to go. Since I’m feeling all virtuous after having made a monster long post about a bipolar topic, and having done housework, I’m going to go and answer some more comments and … finish reading “21: Happy Sunday!”

6: Very Excited!!

Posted on Saturday, 25th July 2009 by Lou

I’m trying to contain myself from jumping up and down and running around the room in excitement. (Well, alright, maybe there was a little jumping up and down) I’ve just had an email newsletter from Concorde2 in Brighton, and Skunk … finish reading “6: Very Excited!!”

On different voices

Posted on Wednesday, 24th December 2008 by Lou

Did you know that people have two (at least) voices? “Chest” voice and “head” voice*. I guess most people only use one most of the time, or don’t notice when they switch from one to the other. Mainly, it’s your … finish reading “On different voices”

Composing Knits

Posted on Wednesday, 24th October 2007 by Lou

I’ve discovered something kind of interesting. To me, anyway. You see, I’d decided I wanted a hat to go with my Fetching wristwarmers. This meant applying the stitch pattern and cables used on Fetching to a hat. Well, with a … finish reading “Composing Knits”

The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees, but what became of the monkey monkey monkey monkey…

Posted on Saturday, 8th September 2007 by Lou

I’m listening to / watching the Last Night of the Proms at the mo. Ah, Last Night, I luff you! One of these days I’ll actually go in person. I’ve actually been a completely rubbish Prommer this year and not … finish reading “The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees, but what became of the monkey monkey monkey monkey…”

An evening off.

Posted on Thursday, 23rd August 2007 by Lou

I don’t do this often enough: I tend to do my knitting at the same time as other things (watching TV) or at the very end of the day. But this evening, I’m going to designate myself an official Evening … finish reading “An evening off.”
