I’ve just watched tonight’s Doctor Who. For the love of cheese, if you’ve ever heard the words “Doctor Who” and know what they mean, don’t talk to me this week. At least not on the subject of anything Who-related. The suspense may kill me but I’m willing to take that risk. I knew nothing about… Continue reading Don't Talk To Me!

Temptation
Ooo, I have a pullover and a sock on the go, neither of them small projects, really, but neither of them in the first flush, either. Both are about 3/4s finished, so naturally I’m looking around for a sexy new love. And I think I’ve found it. I’m sitting here trying to resist winding into… Continue reading Temptation
Tension
I’m going through a trying time. In short, I’m having my second miscarriage in five months. But I have two lovely children, I have faith, I have friends and I have people who love me, so it’s all better than it could be. But the other weapon in my arsenal, against the monsters lurking in… Continue reading Tension
Now On WordPress
This poor homeless little blog has been wandering around for years now, from Livejournal to Blogger and back to LJ, for want of anything better. But in a fit of widget-envy, I have moved to WordPress and will be trying it out for a while. I never could find the comments people left on Blogger… Continue reading Now On WordPress
Old Roads
My blog-friend Jo writes from County Cork, and has written today about old roads. It is lyrical and poignant and beautiful and not to be missed for anyone with a romantic (in the 19th Century sense) bone in their body. And it has beautiful pictures taken by her professional photog man. Read it now!
Themed Part I
posted in her journal explanations of some of her ‘interests, listed in the LJ profile and said she’d tag other people. I responded but was too lame to check that I had any interests listed, so she had to do a little more research than she had planned (but that’s OK. It’s what she does.)… Continue reading Themed Part I
Nerd…I'll Bite
I’m pretty proud that only 1% scored higher in the “History Nerd” section.
Ravelry — I'm In!
For about two years now, drDuff has been hooked on Boardgame Geek, where he gets to list all his board games, find out about new board games, and hang out with other boardgamers with out having to, you know, hang out with other boardgamers. I have been so envious. I even talked to him of… Continue reading Ravelry — I'm In!
Writer's Inspiration I
I’m trying to squeeze in more writing time these days (not, as previously mentioned, for projects that someone is threatening to pay for imminently, but just for my own satisfaction). In spite of the fact that I really want to write, I find myself needing a jumpstart, so I’m reading about writing a little more… Continue reading Writer's Inspiration I
BBC On Demand in the US
I’m so excited. The BBC is making its shows available through Zudeo sometime soon. (Zudeo is owned by the people who made the BitTorrent software.) We’ve been getting our Dr. Who fix from the newsgroups (until such time as the DVDs are released, because we just can’t wait a year for new Who…not while my… Continue reading BBC On Demand in the US
