dark little moons
Did anyone see the moon with Venus and Jupiter last night? It was about 6pm and the narrow crescent moon slung low in the sky had two little shiny noggins just by it. They were the aforementioned planets in alignment with the moon's orbit - quite a sight ( Read more... ) -
Brevity is the only possible solution.
So much to say and we never get around to saying it. Will endeavour to present small chunks, as extended discourse is never on the cards - too much to do ( Read more... ) -
Getting the toe wet again.
'Last updated 29 weeks ago'
Ook. 29 weeks is a long time and a lot can happen. A lot did happen. We recall our slide from the blogosphere was around the time that the country, led by the nose by the braying media, seemed to lurch to the right.

Due to long foreseen circumstances...
Those who know us will be aware of the long hard slog we have had making PB's orbit up here on the edge of nowhere into a successful venture. It's coming up to eight years now in business proper grown up stylee and finally it looks to be paying off.

Civilization...?
So here we are on a Southerly sojourn. We find ourselves orbiting Lincoln, place of our nascence, and experiencing the mixed emotions that come with it. On the one hand we love pavements and streetlights and shops and architecture and actual broadband that works and stuff, but then we look out at the cloyingly ordered lines and curves of suburbia ( Read more... ) -

People take pictures of each other...
Quite regularly we do little jobs for people for birthday celebrations or hen/stag dos involving producing badges with photos of a subject as a child, or with an alarming 80s haircut - you get the idea. We are in the midst of one such job now, scanning a thick pile of photos in varying degrees of fadedness which chronicle one woman's journey from ( Read more... ) -
Posh. Entropy. Vestibule.
Words, words, bollocksing words. Three of them above we consider beautiful and captivating, despite their ascribed meaning. We are the girls least likely to ( Read more... )
