gamesecosse: August 2007
http://gamesecosse.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. Having said this, I did also notice that there are a fair few adult orientated titles as well - the remake of the Resident Evil series being the one to note for me. Considering the slightly over-priced next gen machines, I imagine the Gamecube will be a good investment. Posted by qmchaz64 @ 2:52 pm. Sunday, August 26, 2007. Yesterday I got back from a (very) preliminary Rowing trial in Newcastle regarding the 2012 Olympic Games. Ok. I had always suspected that the dreaded leger.

gamesecosse: February 2008
http://gamesecosse.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2008. I should mention Rainy Woods. Briefly while I'm on this train of thought. I saw it on the same demo disc as Heavy Rain, and I originally assumed it to be a title of similar ilk. As it turns out, Rainy Woods is more of a survival horror title, but the dark atmospheric mood seems to be shared between the two. I will write more about this game as information is released.

The Scottish Home: February 2013
http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2013. Goodbye and Hello. (I Hope! In fact, I often become so fascinated by my textiles that I find myself writing about them and their history in novels such as The Curiosity Cabinet. And my newest novel, due for publication to Kindle in the next week or so, a Scottish historical novel called The Physic Garden. Added to this, I'm a regular contributor to a blog called Authors Electric. Blog AND I have a new venture planned with a handful of other writers for later this year. I wri...

The Scottish Home: Brave Textiles
http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012/09/brave-textiles.html
Tuesday, September 04, 2012. A big plus was the fact that the Scottish accents were absolutely authentic - Billy Connolly, the brilliant and gorgeous Kevin McKidd, Kelly MacDonald, Emma Thompson. It was funny and clever and there was plenty to keep young and old alike entertained: plenty of slapstick for the kids, plenty of clever dialogue and subtle animation jokes for the adults. In short, this was a thoroughly entertaining film, but what struck me most of all (well it would, wouldn't it? Bois de Jasmi...

The Scottish Home: December 2011
http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. Decking the Halls - Christmas Preparations. One of our Christmas cards for this year. I've been in the garden today, cutting holly and ivy and fir branches so that I can 'deck the halls' - which in my case means putting big vases and earthenware jugs of greenery through the house. A cheeky robin followed me everywhere, just in case I disturbed anything he might want to eat. Posted by Catherine Czerkawska. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Isle of Gigha.

The Scottish Home: Antique Textiles, Scottish Islands and eBooks on Amazon Kindle
http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012/05/antique-textiles-scottish-islands-and.html
Monday, May 07, 2012. Antique Textiles, Scottish Islands and eBooks on Amazon Kindle. When the gorse is in bloom, kissing's in season. As many readers of this blog probably know by now, I have two jobs although I'd find it hard to say which is the 'day job' because I'm fairly obsessive about both of them. I buy, collect and sell (when I can bear to let them go! If you're in the UK and here. If you're in the US. Gorgeous cover art by textile artist Alison Bell. The Curiosity Cabinet will almost certainly ...

The Scottish Home: The Rocking Horse Man
http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012/05/rocking-horse-man.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. The Rocking Horse Man. The horse that came home again. Soon though, Alan was making the most wonderful carved sculptural horses: a string of them in oak and ash, gessoed or polished wood, all with starry names: Rigel, Alpharatz, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Pegasus, Orion, Sirius. we lost track of where they went, although Zuben'ubi, a huge and wonderful creature on bowed rockers, stayed at home and lives with us still. We didn't make any fortunes. Just how sad can an old horse get?

The Scottish Home: April 2012
http://thescottishhome.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 14, 2012. An Antique Honiton Lace Handkerchief. I knew that it was hand made bobbin lace, but thought at first that it came from Belgium, until a lace expert pointed out that it is, in fact, old hand made Honiton lace. I should have known, because I've been to the lovely lace museum there - on my honeymoon, a long time ago! Posted by Catherine Czerkawska. Tuesday, April 03, 2012. Another Lovely Old Scots Sampler.

Sunday, September 25, 2011. Apples, Apples and More Apples (And Some Grapes! It's that time of year again, and the venerable old apple tree at the bottom of our garden is full of fruit, and also keeping us well supplied with windfalls in the rough weather. Of which we have had far, far too much, this summer, here in the West of Scotland. The apples are, according to Nigel Deacon. Meanwhile, I've been doing rather a lot of apple cooking!
