Argh! Not only has twitter inexplicably conked out on this iPod that is my only web connection.. But now gmail has gone too. What the faaaaaaaak. It’s not only selfish moaning today though. I a...
Long time no write, Internet! Probably not gonna change soon, because my laptop is broken. If you haven’t already, please cross your fingers for those cvs i just handed in. To improve matters, ...
While I was away with my family, we went to Chillingham Castle. We very almost didn’t, actually, but the bat silhouette on the iron gates was hard to resist. Chillingham is a pretty fantastic d...
I mentioned, on twitter, that I was going to cut my hair. And it was true! I did! I call it “the Leland”. As you see, there are a lot of things I can do with it. When I say “the Lel...
I won’t make you sit through ALL of my sketchbook, but here are some of today’s faces: Featuring Jamillah, Sad Panda, Apollo Z Hack, and various actors such as Robert Hooks and Janet Macl...
There are some places at some times where you can go, and suddenly everything’s all lookbook up in your lens. If only I were a better model! Haha not really. If I knew how to look ways on purpo...
Y’know this poster? It’s kinda hot right now. Or it was, you know, a while back. Maybe it reached maximum exposure and shrank again, I don’t know. But anyway. This is the “rea...
First the zips went, one on each side right at the bend in the ankle. They were sewn up, and the laces were utilised. Then the sole wore away, and kept wearing. Then the left-hand zip on the left foo...
NOTE: DO NOT EAT YEW BERRIES. THEY ARE LARGELY POISONOUS AND YOU WILL DIE. CONSULT A BOTANTIST Also, many elderberries, and my dad’s cooking. Yum yum!
So this one time, I was in Sherwood Forest; Been away. Back now. Lots to come.
Tonight’s last end, after an hour of practise. At twenty yards; club-owned gear. Light wind! Yaaay! I don’t know why they’re grouped in a slash like that, but I guess I’ll fin...
Well, my country’s burning. Not all of it, and not too near me, but nevertheless – I feel it and it aches. For the people whose livelihoods are smashed and smoked and for the kids who nee...
I thought maybe the best way to improve my tablet/digital art skills would be to draw from the teevee. It didn’t really work, and my hand hurts, but I was particularly taken with this guy’...
Last week Kat @ Nogoodforme wrote this post full of eyecandylicious rough tough hazy phase-y editorial ‘a girl and her wheels’ photos. Half were from Vogue Paris but half were from Foam, ...
I’m calling this my “Lois Lane by way of Lucy Knisley” foray. Obv I am not quite up to the standards of either, but one gets nowhere by not trying. And that’s some of what I t...
Being a garden-farmer is very nice, and very delicious, and it also means that because you only have a small area of vegetable to look after or gather in, sometimes you will not be looking after your...
Y’all remember I was given a book, apparently by the publishers. I haven’t finished it because I have been too busy to read (and it is too massive to carry out and about), but I have read...
My plan for today was so simple. Do the shopping at the market, come home, go rollerskating in the evening. Easy, riiiight? NO! In fact, stupidly hard. Just get a car, you would not be alone in sugge...
To help you understand my mood: brandless, £1.50, Help the Aged (I think?)
I am not organised enough to be a cosplayer, but I do like to wear things that are like things that people who inspire me wear. IN-CHARACTER POIGNANCY: Guess how many pixels wide these pictures are? ...
Volunteered for British Waterways Volunteered for the National Trust Volunteered in a primary school: helping children with reading, taking children with behaviour problems out of the classroom to re...
That is the one thing that I remember frowning at, In Caitlin Moran’s How To Be A Woman. Everyone is so down on culottes! They’re breezy AND practical. What could be better? The addition ...
Things that I appreciate about Ramona Flowers: A list She, like me, goes about on wheels. She, like me, uses wheels in line, rather than in double pairs. Her thighs remind me of my thighs She has lon...
It’s old news here that the film Velvet Goldmine was important to my adolescence. As such, it makes sense that I would jump at the chance to see one of the band who lent their music to that gor...
I’ve got lots of words all built up in my head – I just don’t feel like typing them all yet. Frogs, the sudden “oh we’re in the country now!!” that you get when yo...
You know the drill. Comics do something that enrages me, I do a poor-quality picture that directly opposes whatever they have done, I feel better, very little changes. If you don’t know how lad...
Honest, I didn’t take this picture just to taunt you, Thrifty Mrs! :O It just so happened that the current suntasticity has meant that the washing line has been my close companion. Which is fit...
Believe it or not, this great big giant fluid shirt isn’t an homage to Sarah in Labyrinth. I don’t like that outfit – it annoys me. I approve of it, in context, but I don’t li...
A lady’s prerogative is (as Bugsy reminded us in the soup kitchen) to change her mind. So I’m exercising my rights. About sunglasses. Actually the only pair that’s mine is the top p...
So, I bleached my sister’s hair! With real hair bleach you buy in a box. Not like Georgia Nicholson, or Ginger Spice. Not with bathroom bleach. I have never done this before, so I just made it ...
