All the time. Once again, I have been away from here for too long. It’s not as if nothing has been happening – the British Heart Foundation second-hand electric appliances fiasco very effectively drained my energy levels as well as my pockets. Then I was informed that the Job Office, who have never laid an [...]
I moved to my new place three weeks ago… and the second day my cpu died on me. It took me this long to get this sorted, and once I got my PC working I had to put in again all the programmes and applications I normally use. It’s so time consuming I haven’t done [...]
I have just finished sewing a new pair of trousers. They look great, and I will enjoy wearing them as soon as I shed the extra sizes I’ve acquired since I cut the pieces. After the work, I was putting everything away when I eyed the remains of the fabric, a nice elastic gabardine that [...]
I am learning a lot about Photoshop -at last!- while working with this strip of mine. Actually, I have got several things going on and I find I have less time now for everything now that I am not working (of course it doesn’t help that I live in slow motion, but still!). [...]
These long, light sticks are made of closed cell foam.They are fun, colourful and useful in the swimming pool. And they are cheap. But I’ve never used them in the water. So why do I have three of them? It all began when I fancied a change in the look of my [...]

For free instructions to reproduce the zig-zag effect, please see the post on the hairbands (the one before this one). This stitch is known as [...]
I have been looking for a solution to my vanishing keyboard for ages. I mean, the letters printed on the keys are slowly disappearing. My n, r, and all the vowels except the a left long ago, and the l is following suit. I don’t really need them there actually, since I don’t look at [...]
After listening carefully to the TED talk by Dr. Terry Wahls about food to improve your health dramatically, which I already mentioned earlier in this blog, I set out to modify my own diet in a way that I, too, could benefit from the tips Dr. Wahls offered in her talk for better nutrition. Please [...]
I watched a fascinating video recently from the TED conference in Iowa where Dr. Terry Wahls explains how a change in her diet habits changed her life completely. Well, getting back to active life after having been relegated to a wheelchair by MS is no small feat. And, since her food tips are very [...]
I like my make-up and other cosmetic products like anybody else, but I always have problems to find the best moisturiser for my skin and good hair care products. I tend to find proper conditioners in the professional range, so I am happy to have a specialist store available where I live. Face [...]
