Or maybe just a plan. The trouble is that I can’t help but suspect that if I post about my plan something will occur to make sure it doesn’t happen. However, I’m going to take that risk. This year has been a year of things not getting finished, so I want to end the year…
Kicking off Talk like a Pirate Day by linking to the special pirate/age of sail post over at SPEAK ITS NAME http://speakitsname.com/2010/09/19/ahoy/ Once you catch an eyeball of that you’ll be right up for chatting on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SpeakItsName/, if only to purge the horror!

Hi-diddley dee, a pirate’s life for me… It’s Talk Like a Pirate day on Sunday 19th September – we’d love to celebrate here on Speak Its Name. Why not post links to pictures of you (or your pets) in pirate garb (or other nautical gear)? Post Pirate slashy drabbles (not fanfic, please), pirate limericks and…
This has to be very short as I have just sliced through the top of my finger on one of those vegetable guillotine thingies, trying to make home-made crisps. Fortunately I got my 1000 words in for the day first, but I’ve got to say I don’t advise typing with your finger swathed in elastoplast. …
http://bearing-witness.dreamwidth.org/6988.html Rev. Chuck Currie on why he established the Facebook group “People of Faith Opposed to the Burning of the Qur’an” – Currie is a United Church of Christ Minister in Northwest USA. And in related news: Currie’s access to Facebook was halted for approx. 24 hours, then reinstated. Facebook has apparently refused to explain…
This is getting a little tedious. Still coughing like I’m trying to turn myself inside out. I thought my lungs were making a sound like popping candy, so I went to the doctor, who was unimpressed and said “no, they’re not, that’s just your throat.” This apparently makes it tantamount to being a whiny hypochondriac,…
I have discovered a forgotten birthday present from my parents-in-law, which is a voucher for downloads from Amazon.co.uk. Hurray! Also, I’m going off to an internet-free, bookshop-free long weekend spent in a field, and after driving to and from France last week I’ve read all the books on my ebook reader. These are two things…
like a fiddler’s elbow, that’s me this week. Wednesday was our 20th wedding anniversary, which I forgot about. Fortunately, Andrew forgot about it too, so there were no hard feelings on his side, and nothing but relief on mine. We went up North to see my Dad instead of celebrating, which made for a long…
And finally (nearly) caught up on my 300 odd emails, my unpacking, washing and putting everything away, and my two days of being poleaxed by diet induced migraine, which still hasn’t entirely gone away. (Have started the Harcombe diet, as after 3 weeks of calorie counting I was utterly fed up of being hungry. But…
