Trying...

I've been feeling a bit ambivalent blogwise recently. My posting rate is getting worse, but I still want to do it. So... in an effort to start everyday posting I'm just going to write a few lines about my day until I feel more chatty!

Reading: Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell
Listening: The Divine Comedy - A short album about love
Drinking: Tea
Liking: Jacob Epstein - Looking at Dickie Lewis in a whole new light now!
Making: More sculpture, Aprons, Banners and Placentas
Looking forward to: The weekend
Enjoying: re-watching the recent BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensibility

Picture of the Day: Taken last weekend in ma and pa's garden

hello blondie...

My mother will be pleased, I've gone back to my blonde roots... literally

It still feels odd not being a more vibrant colour, but I must say I'm quite liking it at the moment. I haven't blogged for ages, I have no excuses especially as I've just had a week off work, but I enjoyed not having to do very much, getting up late, watching films, sewing Placentas... (long story will post about it soon), drinking tea... when of course I could get the teacup away from Dougal...

I went to answer the door and by the time I got back he had drunk half the cup!

Now that I've gone back to work I find myself wanting to post - that's me though - arbitrary! We've been actively going through the book stock in at work (I'm a Librarian) and identifying things we need to throw out and things we need to update when a colleague came across the following which made us all laugh...

not a very interesting thing to blog about I hear you say.... take another look at the publisher....


yes... that's right... Mills and Boon... who knew they published books about inorganic chemistry! You really do find out something new every day!

I nearly died with my legs in the air....

I don't expect that everyone will be as excited as me, but for all you local Liverpool people, Cath Kidston has opened up a new store next to Bluecoat Chambers.... Sophie, Big Si and I had a visit last week on what turned out to be the official opening (it's someone's birthday coming up mentioning no names Mary) and saw Cath herself. Well Sophers and I saw her... Dad got a bit closer and I expect that we are now going to have to call her Mum! I also expect I'm never going to have any money ever again....
