League Against Boring Lunches: January 2010

League Against Boring Lunches. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. In which the Fridge happened. This is going to be a post of pictures, and it's late, so sorry for the brief captions. Perhaps I'll have time for a wordy post soon, who knows? Firstly, just to be normal, some yarn. This is some Touchyarn laceweight which I've had for a couple of years, just waiting for the right project. It's gorgeous - lovely jewel colours in the skein, glossy when wound. Perfect for a Bitterroot. Scarf, I thought. Several hours...

League Against Boring Lunches. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. How does your garden grow? You may remember some of the dramaz. I've had in the garden. That was only the first implement that succumbed. Anyway, this is what it all looked like at about May time. A flowerbed of reeds and spent primroses. A haymeadow of dandelion clocks underlaid with moss surrounded by various late-middle-age shrubs and seeded saplings. A riot of ground elder in the corner. Ah, the rocks. How many did I dig up? Is this peony (whic...

League Against Boring Lunches: December 2010

League Against Boring Lunches. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Ill Very ill. Poorly sick. Only knitted 4 rows since Thursday so it must be bad. The Man has also decided to do some DIY and wants help which unforts won’t be forthcoming. Helping the Man with DIY requires more strength and tact than I can currently summon. Sorry darling. Sorry front door. Sorry cat (if we had one). He’s currently singing though so perhaps the preliminary stages are going OK. Wish me luck, gentle reader, wish me luck. My little ca...

League Against Boring Lunches: February 2010

League Against Boring Lunches. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Yesterday I was in Islington for an afternoon of learning to jive. It was modern jive and apart from the basic step was very similar to salsa in all the spins we did. I thought it would be more jumpy up and down! Which dance am I thinking of peeps? Is it actually jitterbug? Or does modern jive get more jumpy as you learn more? Aaaaanyway, a knitter can't go to Islington without going to Loop. Fancypants cotton Loop shopping tote bag. You know ...

League Against Boring Lunches: Brrr - hat gloves and scarf weather
http://leagueagainstboringlunches.blogspot.com/2010/11/brrr-hat-gloves-and-scarf-weather.html
League Against Boring Lunches. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Brrr - hat gloves and scarf weather. It's cold dark and dreary and when the alarm goes off it's like the middle of the night. Sounds like we're in that long on stretch of winter. Hey ho. No choice but to just keep plodding on, and think about planning a holiday. Lots of friends are having babies, so I am knitting. Clare is due any minute, and for her, an Undercover. In sagey greens and greys. Now I can get back to my own knitting for a while!

League Against Boring Lunches: August 2010
http://leagueagainstboringlunches.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
League Against Boring Lunches. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. I read on someone's blog recently (it may have been the Yarn Harlot, I kind of lose track who I'm reading on Google Reader sometimes) that they have decided that they waste far too much time prevaricating over which stashed yarn to match with which pattern and thence end up being late for appointments or nearly having to travel with No Projects! So here are my selections which are now parcelled up and some ideas for the next bucketload. Love Bugs i...

League Against Boring Lunches: Friday funny
http://leagueagainstboringlunches.blogspot.com/2011/01/friday-funny.html
League Against Boring Lunches. Friday, January 14, 2011. Woman at work asks the team what they think might be wrong with her heating as there’s a tapping noise. We suggest bleeding the radiators. Us: Yes, you need a radiator key, you turn it to let the air out and then close the valve again when water starts coming out. Us: Look on youtube. Woman: But it’s in the boiler! Us: Well it could be air flapping a vent. It’s been windy. Or a bit of solder come off and ticking against something.

League Against Boring Lunches: May 2010
http://leagueagainstboringlunches.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
League Against Boring Lunches. Saturday, May 29, 2010. Blood, sweat and cupcakes. Sorry for radio silence but things have been happening offline, promise! Firstly I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks walk with work. 26 miles, 1600m cumulative climbing, supposed to be done in 12 hours. We did it last Friday and it was also 24degrees (at least) so it was hot for Yorkshire, and also hot for walking! We started at 7am up Pen-y-ghent, then there was a 9 mile walk to the next peak. Sugar craft is not something I've...

League Against Boring Lunches: October 2010
http://leagueagainstboringlunches.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
League Against Boring Lunches. Sunday, October 17, 2010. I took the wedding nail varnish off my toes the other day. It was the one remaining part of me that wasn’t shedding its top layer naturally. I am peeling from just about every conceivable part of me, it’s quite delightful. But it’s worth it, because it’s the result of too much sun on a totally decadent honeymoon. I love that he wanted matching rings. He’s a big sop at heart. :). We went to the Spa (amazingly beautiful) for one of those massages for...

League Against Boring Lunches. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Don’t hate me, but I’ve nearly finished my Christmas shopping. I think I’ve learnt the skill of organising complicated events well in advance while still at work. Only problem person left to buy for is, as usual, the Man, so any suggestions gratefully received! Are you guys well stuck in yet? Are you knitting (or making) stuff for people? However I am a newbie food blogger and took 0 pics. Apols. I will try harder next time. Don’t hate me, b...
