Bikebikebike!
I love my bicycle. It's an entry level hybrid, handy for running to the shops, capable of carrying my not insignificant weight and has a removable basket for the messages, gives me decent traction on roads but not too much so I'm not struggling too much. All in all, am very happy with my decision to get this particular one. I love it so much and I ( Read more... ) -

Our new puppy arrived today! Well, I say arrived, Martha decided to drive to somewhere in Wexford to pick her up having fallen in love with photos. And I can see why. She's just gorgeous! Half King Charles spaniel, quarter each pug and shih tzu. Creamy coloured with white markings. 9 weeks old. 15cm high to the top of her head and only about 23cm ( Read more... ) -

Or rather, I hate not knowing if I can sit in a pub long enough to make the trip ( Read more... ) -

Before Christmas last year, the last thing I'd knit was a jumper in September 1988 and that was enough to put me off for quite a while, especially as it was so loosely knit it still fits me and I'm a good bit bigger now than when I was 10. I'm working on my second big project for me, a rather fetching geansaí in grey acrylic ( Read more... ) -

Martha was meant to come home today but after the bad weather at the start of her holidays they decided to stay another day. So I've got a snoring, farting SandyDog on my bedroom floor, curled up on two of my pillows and my slanket. She occasionally wakes up a bit and looks at me to see if I'm going to do anything entertaining such as give her some ( Read more... ) -
