And so the days are filled...: End of summer
http://daysfull.blogspot.com/2008/03/end-of-summer.html
And so the days are filled. And so the days are filled. It was a long summer for cricket tragics. The test series was marred with controversy. And the positively memorable moments were scattered very few and far between. (I will always be proud to say I witnessed Sachin's century. At the SCG; I will be less proud to say I jumped to my feet and cheered at the fall of Ishant Sharma's wicket two days later. Sound made when a boot connects with the pointy ball. AFL. Is finally back and, thanks to the annoyin...

And so the days are filled. And so the days are filled. Not going away for the Easter holiday doesn't mean France can't come to me. Bells. Has been treating us to a few salient. On the difficulties of photographing oneself recently and I think this is the main reason these two FOs haven't graced these pages yet; both were finished in February or March I think! The first Finished Object, of course, needs no introduction:. My lace weight Clapotis. Made with 2-ply merino on 3mm needles. How about a beret?

And so the days are filled. And so the days are filled. Since the late 1990s, I have taken an increasing interest in the Man Booker Prize. One's reading list is never too long and so I add all of the books shortlisted for the prize to my list, and have taken delight in the recent innovation of the long list, which now also gets added to my personal to-read list. Grabbed the prize. (Unfortunately,. Was one of the two I hadn't yet read.). Was announced, I went on a reading rampage. I usually can tick one o...

And so the days are filled...: What's next then
http://daysfull.blogspot.com/2007/12/whats-next-then.html
And so the days are filled. And so the days are filled. My mum tells me that among the first 'coherent' syllables I uttered as a babe in arms sounded something like "wet mouse". She liked to think I was asking "What next? It does seem to be a question I love more than many other of life's imponderables. What project her readers were enjoying most right now, and many of them said 'The one that's still in my head'. For me, the project in my head is often the most enjoyable because. If this is the case I mi...

And so the days are filled. And so the days are filled. Two more shortlisted book reviews. Finally after several disappointing reads.

http://daysfull.blogspot.com/2007/09/knitting-for-weddings-and-then-some.html
And so the days are filled. And so the days are filled. Knitting for weddings and then some. My immediate group of friends have all recently been bitten by the betrothal bug. I like to think Fiver and I started. I have three weddings to attend in three months. What's a girl to do for outfits? Certainly I'm too cheap to buy a new frock for each one. So I knitted, naturally. We have already been introduced. What if I snagged myself on a passerby? To go with the skirt. I have never done very well at keeping...
