from space

August 18, 2003

Here

Lately this is mostly a feed of no, I have had it with feeds, let’s make this site actually have the things I get up to, and find interesting, amusing or timewasting in other places.

There

You can find me on goodreads, flickr, twitter, facebook, ravelry and pinterest among others, but I’m more at home here in my own space than in those other places.

Quick Clips

I once went looking for the Coventry Street of the Monopoly Board with the aid of the London A-Z, we reckoned Covent Garden was a decent replacement but this is probably a better set of replacements. 20201019

“Celebrated Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos creates vibrant, often monumental sculpture, using fabric, needlework and crochet alongside everyday objects from saucepans to wheel hubs.” 20201019

Mechanica – board game with jigsaw factories and robot vacuum cleaners. Utterly delightful. 20201018

Visit the Biden HQ Animal Crossing Island :) 20201016

AwShuX – this weekend’s online board game convention. 20201016

“an attempt to create a pedestrian highway system, a slow alternative to our main roads and motorways.” excellent idea! 20201016

“every number is a potential friend rather than a traitor waiting to be exposed.“ 20201015

The Spreadsheet News Network reporting on last week’s Excel debacle. 20201014

“Flights to nowhere” – I do not understand why people want the plane experience without the going somewhere experience! 20201013

I want pockets everywhere all the time. I am not weird, everybody wants pockets. Apart from over 60s in their pyjamas apparently. 20201013

More canal counting. Last set ended at 22 though so I’ll have to go back & collect 21. 10 is in the background of 11 but I’ll start from there another time. 😬🚴🏻‍♀️ #huddersfieldnarrowcanal

Wow! This is ace & I should have done it years ago. I love cycling & love living where I do in the hills but have never managed to happily combine the two. A bit of Li-ion assistance from @oxygenbicycles has put a huge smile on my face! 😁#electricbikes #pedelecs #pedelec #ebike
