Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:05:55 GMT

Suddenly Ratatouille isn't so funny any more. The darling cats have brought in mice again (we never had mice till we had cats) and they have been in the dry food cupboard.

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 16:15:45 GMT

- Once in a while, an incredibly pleasant surprise pops up. Always in a different category, this time the surprise showed up in the form of an incredibly enjoyable audio CD by artist Theresa Andersson.

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:13:35 GMT

Stand Up and Fly You’re a human hummingbird on the new de Lackner helicopter. LIKE the flying manhole cover, the new de Lackner helicopter carries only one man who hangs on to handlebars, controls pitch and roll by shifting his weight. Unlike the manhole cover, it is very light (a 125-lb. model is planned) and it [...]

After the spinning nirvana I experienced spinning the silk/romney blend I showed you in the last post, I was most interested in finding more similar fibre from Hummingbird Fibre Arts .

They can both wind up anywhere, but Izzard seems to, more often than not, be talking about God and Jesus chatting in Heaven or the diary of one of the giant squid that must have been on Noah's Ark.
