A couple of weeks ago, I went to Mayfield Lavender Farm in Banstead. In the 18th and 19th centuries, this part of England was the centre of the world's lavender production, before urbanisation and cheap French imports did for it, so it's nice to have some back again in the same area. The farm has [...]

The day after I went to Bekonscot it was the Lates night at the Science Museum, and I got to see my stitched self on display, along with 258 others…

This Wednesday there's a Science Museum Lates event, for the launch of the new Who Am I? gallery, where you'll be able to see mini-me, on display with lots of other self-portrait dolls

The day after All Stitched Up, some friends and I went to the Nunhead Cemetery open day.

I must apologise. Things have kind of fallen into the moat here at Mondo Towers (NB: this is just a clever turn of phrase. I don't actually have a moat. Or live in a tower). There are lots of things I've neglected to write about lately, possibly because I've been busy actually doing them, but I feel like I should at least mention some of them here. So this is the first of a few (long) catch-up posts. This one's mostly about MORBID DETH and body parts. (I'd like to promise that the others aren't going to be so gruesome — but I can't as at least one other upcoming post is about MORBID DETH too.)

I only found out about the A Moment In Time project about 10 minutes after it was supposed to happen, but I decided to take part anyway, partly because it would give me something good to take for 'Roid Week as well. So here's the view through my window on a rainy day. I love [...]

So, two things last week. I was having a bit of an odd day on Thursday, and found myself in an angry, livid mood for no reason. I was seething and I didn't know why. So I took myself off for a walk on Hampstead Heath, intending to stomp up Parliament Hill and look out [...]

Last week also marked the end of the Hundred Days project, and there was a gig to celebrate, as part of the London Word Festival.

It was a pretty good gig: three female comedians and a band, with an accompanying exhibition, The Museum of A Hundred Days. Event organiser Josie Long was pretty funny, although [...]

One of the most frustrating things about my hard drive failing last year was that I lost all of the work I'd been doing in BookSmart, the software used to make books on Blurb. Well, yesterday I took advantage of the crappy weather to get started on a new one. I didn't expect to finish [...]

I missed a couple of days this time around, but the projects seemed to require twice as much work, as most of them were designed on the computer first. I'd say I'm about 50/50 on the quality, though.
Day #11: nothing. I'm sure I meant to make something, but I couldn't find anything in the [...]
