Just stuff I am making and stuff I have seen

With the leftovers from my finally completed rainbow throw (I will take pics later in the week) I made stuff.

OK, look, even I think this is a bit bright

I've still got enough left for a few more so I'll see how many I end up with and then go from there (I know I should have crocheted the ends in as I went along, I do it all wrong). I don't know what I'm going to make (I promise it won't be a garment).

We, as plants, offer a living counterpoint to the sterile pursuit of Knowledge

Plants benefiting from the sunlight

In the History Faculty at the university they have some strange thing going on with plants. I think it's a plant-growing competition. At certain times of the year it all goes a bit wild and there are plants everywhere with names on, and a little hospital corner for plants which aren't doing so well.

Wherever you go here there's something medieval looming at you

I dragged Partner to Apple Day in Ely at the weekend. He said it was beyond parody and just like the opening scene from Midsomer Murders, and could we leave before they found someone dead in a cider barrel. I enjoyed it myself. There was a man who you could take your apples to for identification

Partner said 'they all look the bloody same'. They do not

And folk music. There was a knitting stall too, but it was very popular so I couldn't get near it. Anyway, there is an Eel Day at some point (I'm not making this up) so I shall drag Partner to that, too.

Also, after being grumpy yesterday, wanted to mention two excellent people/ companies I bought from recently: Get Knitted, who replaced some dodgy Knit Pro needle tips for me without any problem even though I bought them a month ago (I've also bought from them on and off for a while and they've always been great): and Scrapunzel Pixie, who I bought a jumper from after I interviewed Niccy, and I think I have worn it nearly every day. I love it!
