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’m glad to see there are people out there making bike friendly clothing that’s not all skin tight lycra. I need to figure out how to sew something like this for the summer. 20210123

I’m amazed there has ever been any science behind TV detector vans, I always thought they were completely fake 20210121

Electric Cargo Bike Delivery Service – I hope that what starts in Hebden Bridge grows elsewhere! 20210118

See saws on the US-Mexico border. 20210114

I’m not right convinced that those are my top 9

I’m not right convinced that those are my top 9 Instagram posts of 2020 but they do cover what might be my top three things of 2020 in no particular order: 1. Knitting my mystery blanket (which is now almost finished), B. Riding my bike, iii. My family and friends (embracing being sensible & staying safe at home). I think we’re all ready for 2021 to come at us, hopefully with actual hugs involved 🤗 #bestnine #happynewyear (I’m hoping the comment about hugs doesn’t look as weird this time next year as last year’s comment for 2020 to “bring it on” does now! But we will see. 🤞)

You’d think, given that you can usually see the TV mast at Emley Moor from eleventy squillion miles away, you’d be able to spot it from the side of the road next to it! I had to check with Google StreetView that I was in the right place! #fog
