Did I tell you about......?


My Clock.

This is the one that sits in front of my computer beside my printer. I think I paid a $1 for it yonks ago in a thrift shop. I seriously don't like digital clocks. My age or something. Time seems more real to me when it's on a round face with three hands.

Bonus with this one is that the slightest movement makes it waggle and wiggle itself. Adding a further sense of urgency to tempus fugit.

And the pink. Why is pink a ridiculous colour for a clock? Or anything serious? A pink computer. A pink fireplace. A pink printer. A pink truck. See? I told you, didn't I?

Additional bonus: others covet this clock.

But it's mine.

All mine.

Did I tell you about.....?


My Snake.

In an effort to distract myself I am amusing myself with taking photos. Of odd things around my house. Well, not odd to me but maybe to you.

This loooong snake I designed and knitted some time in October of last year. He keeps out the chilly drafts from my front door. And is a colourful addition to the original hall which is wood panelled and darkish with the outside wooden storm door fastened against the winter elements. Not that we're seeing much of any of that this year.

You don't want to know what he's stuffed with.

And no, I haven't named him.
