I know this. I REALLY hope they know this. It's just fun to notice and document, in some small way, the ways in which they are cool. It makes for good additions to the lore of our lives. Recent notable examples of coolness include ( Read more... )

Everybody has one. That store you find that transforms you into a child again. I'll take everything! and love it and squeeze it and... and... you know? I just want to live here!

Pitfalls galore later, and I finally set my first stone: a wee chunk of granite I found while out with my Mum. V. excited to move on to making buttons, possibly. We shall ( Read more... )

The Hubby-lion found this and it makes me SO happy! I have no idea where these boys are from. I'm guessing from the quality of the tape and the audience that this is a school gala/talent show.
