Pootles Quest

i.e. not quite right. Also makes me think of the lovely teddybearswednesday. I don’t know if you should be insulted but I think he is lovely!

It warms my heart to think that somewhere out there exists a Becca who has made a lovely blog that is well loved and regularly updated.  It also blows my mind.

This is not as random as it appears.  I’ve been watching the fantastic Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives a documentary where the lead singer of the eels discovered more about his father.  This would be uninteresting if it were not for the fact that his Dad was Hugh Everett III who invented the theory of multiple universes.  It was one of those things that you thing “oh yeah I get it” but then you think some more and you really don’t. Best not to think!

This is the lovely pie I made on Sunday instead of a roast. Its sounds odd but was very tasty. Its steak and pickled onion. I originally saw it on a cookery program called “the best” where 2 chefs ansd one cook compete for the best of each category. The recipe eluded me for ages but I finally found it without forking (hohoho) out for the book from the landcroft house blog Very tasty only letdown - no cabbage, it all looked a bit ropey in the supermarket, I could have got up early with my basket and gone to the market but I’m not that energetic! next time I might go as far as making bubble and squeak ( I live life in the fast lane!).

Daylight savings has hit and I don’t know if I’m coming or going, so I’m going to bed!

Oddly this song isn’t in my head but the sheena easton classic “morning train” is. Except my baby doesn’t, he gets the bus and won’t for much longer now he can drive! No longer will maggie Thatcher look down her nose at him (well not for riding the bus anyway).  I have many years of sitting in the passenger seat owed to me!

So finally working woo hoo!   So I have to get a bus and a train and all in all it takes about 45 minutes.  This will mostly be taken up reading, snoozing and chuckling to myself as I listen to podcasts.  Where I have to change I have seen a secondhand book shop and a charity shop that look good so I’ll have to run past that bit for a while!

I’m knackered so this is just a brief one to say it all went ok and I’m ok!  I will post tomorrow and try to get in a better routine, but I won’t bore you with my tired witterings!

By removing garfield you turn a very annoying comic into a much better one about a bloke who has lost his mind (shouldn’t be funny but is).
“Its the sleeve what does it” Fantastic video of 30s fashion designers predicting what we would all be wearing in the year 2000. I’m sure I’ve seen those cantilevered shoes about!

sweet valley everything. If like me you spent a large part of your youth reading the sweet valley books you’ll love this blog.

So these are my post interview adventures. I’m working back thats how my mind works (when it does work).

Right, so the lovely drewzel and I were roped in to represent sublime stitching at the living creatively bit of the stitches and craft show. We were expected at one point to sit on the stage and give a little talk and demonstration about it but luckily we look clueless enough that we persuaded them to let us sit at the side and stitch. Our feminine charms were not enough to allow us into the magical picnic area where the lovely bunnies were but we were happy enough on the side.

As with all craft shows the target audience of most of the stalls where erm how could I say a bit mature. no scratch that it was granny-tastic!! We had lots of interest in what we were doing but the mere mention of the Internet had many people run and hide. I don’t know what I’d do without the t’interweb but I guess its another thing you get used to and can’t imagine life another way! So we gave out a few postcards, nattered about mothers lost craft supplies and looked at the most amazing birds of Australia cross stitch ( another on of those things that are brilliant but I know I just couldn’t be bothered!). had a lovely natter with the lovely nikkishell, she was fantastic on the stage talking about mixtape. Being a brownie has introduced me to some of the MOST interesting and inspirational crafty birds.

By this point we’d had enough so wandered round the show looking at the stalls and dreaming. I was very good and took cards rather than buy a load of fabric I have no clue what to do with. Then came back to speak to some lovely girls (ladies, chicks, women, birds) who are leading the revolution in craft! (we’ll doing things that aren’t obviously crafty when you wear or display them). I’m glad I have a job because if i brought half of what I wanted I would be a very poor lady.

Finally I am no longer dole scum!!!
( I didn’t even get the dole and I’m not against the welfare state). Yep from sometime next week (hopefully) I will be back to being a lab monkey! If you care I’ll tell you more details as the blog goes on but in reality its not as exciting as you would think. The picture above looks strangly like me but I’m not a man and don’t wear ties!!
