HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! And welcome to the Roaring Twenties! What happened to last year? I blinked, and missed it. Something must be happening to the space-time continuum. Perhaps I have been travelling at Warp Speed for too long, or encountered some sort of space anomaly causing a temporal distortion... Sorry, been watching…
Time for my annual review at the close of the year. This year has passed so quickly that it has left me gasping. The days seem to have flashed past me like for the hero of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine... For some of the time, it's been more a case of what…

We had booked to go to Collaton Fishacre, a National Trust property near us, where there was to be a talk on the Art Deco contents of the house, with particular reference to the Lalique glass, which I am particularly interested…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? My main desk remains neglected and collecting junk. One day, one day... On the table by the sink, my "wet" desk, however, I'm glad to say I've made some progress on the teabag front. Stamping teabags with acrylic paint As suggested on a website I visited, I…
To begin with, this was my meal prepping last week, which I didn't manage to upload. Allotment Cottage Pie I made Jamie Oliver's Allotment Cottage Pie, which is a brilliant recipe - full of goodness and flavour, and another of those great recipes that you can bung in whatever you happen to have.…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Sorry I didn't make it onto WOYWW last week. I've had a bad week with my ME, and was quite poorly with a cold, and I had hoped to have my slippers completed but didn't manage it. However, in between, I've been quite busy and have made…
