Look don’t rock January 11, 2009

I’m tremendously excited to take temporary possession of this family rocking chair. It belonged to my great grandmother on my mother’s father’s side of the family. She died the year I was born so I have never knew her. This was one of the few items my mother salvaged when the family sold off the […]

a little wireless happy dance December 29, 2008

Well here’s some excitement! For me anyway. I am sitting on the lounge with my laptop using the internet through my wireless connection.

Due to well foreseen circumstances (i.e. Christmas) The Spiralling Shape’s regularly scheduled post of Wendy’s Week of TV was cancelled this week and will return to the so-called “blogosphere” next week. (Why a sphere I wonder? Is there something particularly spherical about blogging. What’s wrong with a cube for instance?) N.B. Wendy did watch TV […]

Boxing Day random Beatles’ references December 25, 2008

“I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink” Well it feels like that anyway. Perhaps Christmas was a little too much excitement for me. Thankfully there is now the nothingness of Boxing Day in which to recover. I intend to read a book whilst lying on the lounge with the airconditioning blasting. The cricket shall […]

"Oh what fun"…..wrapping presents December 20, 2008

I take ages to find the end of the sticky tape I have poor estimating skills when it comes to the amount of paper needed for wrapping a gift. It’s either too much or too little and then I end up doing some kind of weird patch up job. The same problem occurs with ribbon. […]
