The big news today aka OMG I NEARLY DIED. Not.
Yep, Market Rasen is roughly 10-15 miles from Lincoln (as the crow flies). It was fun, in a completely weird way. Woke up to the house shaking and all these weird creaky noises and bright lights and my first thought was that the military had blockaded [...]
The first is nerdy, the second was yummy.
Awesome Thing No. 1 - Me being allowed near historical objects, viz:
The object is a slater’s knife, used surprisingly enough for cutting and applying slate for roofs (I’m convinced the plural of roof should be rooves but hey.). Its forged from iron and has a wooden handle [...]
I know you’ve all heard this song and I’m like to sound just not ‘edgy’ enough considering it was on an ipod advert ages ago and I dunno…sold out or something? I have no idea. Point is, I like it.
Feist - 1 2 3 4
I heard it in full length and watched the video [...]
Two crap things:
1. I’m not very well, and my head feels like its filling up with helium, and not tin the good ‘laughing gas at Leeds festival’ sorta way. The snotty way. I have nearly 10 hours at work tomorrow and refuse to call in sick. That is the stubborn capitalist in me. MONEY.

We may have had an unfair [...]
I’m going to make a rough estimate here. I think I made over 200 gingerbread stars last night. I know. There was me looking at the dough and thinking “pssh, I’m never going to have enough to take to university chums, work lovelies, family and friends”. However, my pally pal Jenn and I used [...]
‘Smack’, by Draco
I love this new Threadless design, it reminds me of something out of the old Diana/Twinkle annuals from the 70′/80’s that I have somehow acquired, despite not being born till 1987!
Anything that has robins on is made 10x better, hence why I chose to post the 1972 over any of the others (the [...]
I randomly found myself on Offbeat Bride earlier and as well as the steampunk wedding, I am really impressed/inspired (not that I’m getting married just yet!) by Mr and Mrs Ward’s DIY wedding:
(Shamelessly taken from their Flickr album)
I love the way they used the semi-industrial space and the ex-M&S display decorations! The [...]
