Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Madeira (Escaping the Rain)
Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

Once More with Gusto (and Games)
This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

A Capacitor in Time Saves Nine?
The dramatic conclusion to our sewing machine epic is finally here. Will it work? Read on and find out for yourself. I like to fix things. We’ve covered this multiple times before. If I can stop something going to landfill unnecessarily, I’m always up for taking something apart and tinkering. Sometimes it’s an easy fix…

The First Rule of Elna Club Computer is…
…don’t write about the Elna Club Computer. This is a DIY/fix it yourself kind of post. Sarah’s Elna Club Computer sewing machine blew up over the weekend, forcing her to learn how to use an overlocker at very short notice. Whilst it’s useful for overlocking, I’m told an overlocker can’t really do anything else. If…
