A Button takes how long?

Have been slaving away making some more buttons to put in my Etsy shop. I am always totally amazed at how long they take and sometimes a lot of thinking goes on at the same time (and sometime no thinking at all!). Random thoughts about being a peasant slaving away… Read full post »

One Small Planet

 
 A place where you can feel valued and respected - a place to develop responsibility, respect and confidence. A place where you are heard, and treated as an individual - a place to be safe and to grow. Riversdale.

Cosmological Elf - London Snowman Found

 
I found the London Snowman, wearing a disguise
His skin is very blu-ish, but his look is just as wise
His ears are all appointed, and he now has long black hair
He wears a dark green cape thing, that swirls as he walks there
 
The 'there' being…

Haunted Belltower

 
Riversdale Primary School is said to be haunted by a young girl called 'Emily', who threw herself off the belltower earlier this century. Not sure if this is Emily or not... (not quite the image we had in mind!).  But that IS Riversdale School behind her, and that is… Read full post »

I am glad I am not a woodlouse. They seem to live in damp dark places and need to scurry around a lot - looking for food or friends?  Living in London, being damp (rains a lot),  and fairly dark  ( the 'nights draw in with winter

Spider - up close and personal !

 
Very exciting working with my new usb microscope - but I have learnt not to take videos/make videos etc etc using bugs and things last thing at night before sleep, as all I dream about are things that scurry into dark place and have an unseemly amount of legs!… Read full post »

Composting with Worms

 
Computered eyed excitement builds as video is done
Interesting game it is when digitilising fun
Worms are very interesting, they have a lot to teach
They just need an audience and people they can reach.
So they asked me very nicely, in voices cute and round,
If I would be their mentor,  their/… Read full post »

Poor Piggies....

Egypt is now slaughtering their pigs. I can almost hear their squeals from here. I actually had lots to say about this... but have just got to the point of throwing my hands up in disbelief.

Yes!  It's happening!  OS's can share an  international 'Freedom From All Words day' and we all communicate in other ways instead!    Those of us who only have keyboards are allowed to use anything except the letters themselves.

OS to have a 'Freedom From Words Day'

Was wondering what shade of green freedom would be, after reading a post by freedomisgreen.  And then continued onto wondering if the colour of freedom is the same to all of us.

And what exactly does the word 'freedom' mean anyhow!  All words are open to misunderstanding and misrepresentati… Read full post »

Fed up of searching for grotty old food- encrusted plates in my daughters room, fed up of wanting to tie myself to the end of a rope when I ventured 'in there'   (in case I lost my bearings and needed to find my way out), I lied about the mouse.
