Marking a century

Posted on Sunday, 20th February 2011 by Lou

My granddad would’ve been 100 years old today.  Happy Birthday Poppa! That’s the two of us together when I was small.  He died a few years ago now, and for another few years before that wasn’t really ‘himself’ due to … finish reading “Marking a century”

Busy busy busy

Posted on Monday, 7th February 2011 by Lou

A decade of blogging

Posted on Friday, 21st January 2011 by Lou

I very nearly forgot altogether, but yesterday was my “blogoversary”.  The tenth anniversary of starting this blog, in fact. It doesn’t feel like ten years, but then there have been some years where I’ve barely blogged at all, or at … finish reading “A decade of blogging”

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”

Pretties from NZ

Posted on Tuesday, 23rd November 2010 by Lou

My brother and sister-in-law brought pressies back from New Zealand!  So I thought I’d show one of mine off: The name of the colour comes from a New Zealand bird which has plumage in the colour of the yarn.  Oh, … finish reading “Pretties from NZ”

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”

Posted on Wednesday, 30th June 2010 by Lou

Woohoo, I’ve completed NaBloPoMo for June.  I shall give myself a pat on the back… and maybe check if there’s a “winner” badge or something.  No big deal if not. I’ve also been seeing how I can do on the … finish reading “And I’m Done”
