I had a rather brilliant weekend with the MCA zine fair on Sunday and catching up with a good friend on Saturday. The zine fair was a lot of fun and I picked up a number of zines and walked away feeling rather inspired. I’ll blog about in a while once I finish downloading some… Continue reading Nippon Club

MCA Zine Fair
The zine fair season is definitely picking up in Sydney with Kinokuniya starting off with its zine fair a couple of weeks ago. The MCA’s zine fair is on today in collaboration with the Writer’s Festival happening around the same time. I will be lurking around the MCA and issue 3 of Sharp and Pointy… Continue reading MCA Zine Fair
A pulse, a veritable internet pulse
This post is brought to you by Saturday, howling wind that woke me up at an insane hour, a working internet connection and Okkervil River. A friend had a spare ticket to their show at the Annandale (thanks B) and although I haven’t heard of them before thought they sound rather jolly from the bits… Continue reading A pulse, a veritable internet pulse
Lighting bling
Happiness is a working internet connection and being able to send emails with attachments without wishing to burn down Optus for being absolutely useless. If another one of their help desk recommend that I switch on and off the modem as the only solution I’m not sure what I will do. In order to avoid… Continue reading Lighting bling

It’s been frustratingly slow to upload or post anything to the extent that it feels like I am using dial up all over again.

Day 17 in the visa waiting game and lo and behold I am actually starting to enjoy it. Perhaps after being screamed… Continue reading The number game
Nuts and ball and how I was defeated by a dessert
There are very few times in life when armed with a spoon or fork or both that I fail to tackle a vulnerable looking dessert, but when confronted with this baseball size dessert appropriately named Nuts and Ball created as a homage to a snicker bar I had to admit defeat. It was a Tuesday… Continue reading Nuts and ball and how I was defeated by a dessert
Back to crafting
I have been a little slack when it comes to posting about my knitting project. A few are on the go, most undergoing some kind of frogging so I ended up having less to show than the beginning! I did managed to finish this Frock Camisole last winter, but with it being winter there was… Continue reading Back to crafting
From dusk till dawn
Four weeks into the waiting period and although I wish I could say time is flying by, but I am mentally crossing each day rather like Sal from The Secret River by Kate Grenville. Even with email, phone and modern convenience the concept of London is becoming vaguer each day. I am missing people, the… Continue reading From dusk till dawn
Easter
Happy Easter to you, be you church goer, chocolate eater, hot cross bun lover or whatever you are today. My legs are in pain from a dusk and nearly dawn I did last night, photos are coming, but in the meantime Jennifer Fallon’s latest blog entry made me smile. In between wincing in pain while… Continue reading Easter
