“The circle line will not be in service on account of a person under a train at Monument” I couldn’t quite believe my ears, but judging from everyone else’s reaction this happens often enough for it to be a non-event. I can’t quite shake the feeling that London reminds me a lot of Sydney, I… Continue reading So many to see, so little to shoot

Since *I* need something to cheer myself up while waiting for things to turn up. A little antsy as things are supposed to start moving by today and still no news in a lot of fronts. Have an awful feeling it’s because everyone buggered off early for their summer holiday. Well, when the world is… Continue reading Yarn porn

Limbo is an interesting place to be, particularly when it comes to waiting for: 1. job news 2. moving in news No news on both front I’m afraid and it’s not one of those times when no news is good news either. I’m sitting in my room at the Falcon Hotel in Stratford-Upon-Avon, overlooking Nash’s… Continue reading Shakespeareland
The forgotten art of knitting/ #19 Lacy Top Vogue Knitting
With all this travelling I haven’t had the luxury to knit in one large block of time. Finding the London SNB group was an absolute god send. What kept me happy other than the fine weather is the very cool Stitch N’ Bitch group in London and the knit crawl on Saturday, in line with… Continue reading The forgotten art of knitting/ #19 Lacy Top Vogue Knitting

London in summer, is quite simply glorious. My… Continue reading London Summer

Kyoto Nishiki Market
I promise I’ll start posting photos of London to prove I am actually here, but with so many photos from Japan I still haven’t shared, what am I supposed to do? While in Kyoto I wandered into Nishiki Market, Kyoto’s oldest food market. My sense of direction is terrible, but it was harder to find… Continue reading Kyoto Nishiki Market
London now
I doubt you would believe me if I say that the sky is blue for almost the entire week so I’ll show you instead. Along with the sky are ofcourse topless British men showing off their very pasty white chests for the world to see. Still can’t quite believe that a week ago I was… Continue reading London now
The lego recreation
Just something a little different Lunch atop a Skyscraper – is a famous photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets during construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in 1932. The photograph depicts 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling hundreds of feet above the New York City streets. Man… Continue reading The lego recreation
Tree Planting
Tree planting with the local kids and farmers, the trees were planted at the edge of the farms to prevent further erosion to the soil. Needless to say the kids were much better at handling a shovel than I was. On the flip side we got more local coverage again. This little guy is my… Continue reading Tree Planting
