TTF 11

This week's Sarah Rooftops challenge was to try a new craft activity. This is my most successful paper marbling, as featured in lovely old book endpapers. I enjoyed the randomness of the results. (Kit from Hobbycraft).

Alistair saying it was typical of me when I bought an ethically produced crochet octopus from Bangladesh from among the racks of other pastel baby gifts.

Movie Night: tonight featuring Iron Man 2. Lately, it's really been more Superhero Blockbuster Night really. I quite enjoy an exciting yet mentally unchallenging film though.

Three Things February 5

Getting a fitness age of 24 on my Wii Fit (I'm 37).

Loving my sourdough baking , despite my lovely doughnut shaped loaf filling in the central hole when it rose in the oven.

Finally arranging to go to my Dad's and uplift or chuck all my old stuff (I've only been moved out for about 13 years...)

Giant inflatable heart outside the florists which looked more like a giant inflatable Something Else...

Hanging up the Ladies Of Hammer Horror calendar.

Looking forward to watching Thor this evening as our weekly Film Night.

Three Things February 3

Lunch at Cafe Montmartre. It felt like really being in France and I had this delicious spinach stuffed gratineed pancake. I'll be back for dinner soon.

Finding an awesome book 'Architectural Digest Homes of Hollywood' in a charity shop. Especially Jayne Mansfield's Pink Palace.

Still addicted to the blackly hilarious Desperate Housewives. Like the love child of Dynasty and Twin Peaks but funnier than either.
