You know you’ve become a geek when…

You know you’ve become a geek when you buy bagels, not because you have a desperate urge to eat them, but because you want to try this.

Sadly, I failed. My shop-bought bagels were a tad dry and powdery. As a result they disintegrated. Then again, maybe it was just my lack of skill. Still, […]

I never did like luncheon meat

I seem to have been the lucky recipient of an awful lot of SPAM comments over the last few weeks. Is there a lot more SPAM around lately? I certainly never saw this much when using Haloscan. I wonder why?

Interesting how many identical generic – but not quite appropriate – comments have turned up […]

Pulling the wool over my eyes

Until a few days ago, I think I’d clocked up a magnificent 23 years without knitting anything.

Then I succumbed to a sudden and inexplicable urge to knit a Möbius scarf. None of this easing myself back into it gradually nonsense, oh no, not for me. I still had my old knitting needles tucked away, […]

Meet Robohamster

Meet Robohamster from ekai on Vimeo.

I’ve watched this several times now. Not entirely sure why, but it makes me LOL. Literally.

I’m also quite amazed at the level of technology that is obviously packed into this little toy: watch it change direction when it hits a corner. Clever stuff.

Will I […]

Boxing Day Puzzle

Mr TLC won a nice puzzle from his cracker yesterday, but I think he preferred my strange magnetic fishing line. I liked the puzzle better. Anyhoo, here’s one for you to try (and if it’s too easy, there’s another one here.)

Hope you like it. 🙂

One or two teething problems

Amazingly, 99% of my blog-move seems to have gone without a hitch.

My main worry was that I would put off the small band of lovely people who kept visiting the old place, despite having to put up with my haphazard posting schedule, but it seems that my concerns were unfounded. I’d like to thank […]

Hello Kitty

Looked out of the window to discover a surprising amount of snow on the ground this morning.

A few inches of snow may have made the delivery of Christmas presents something of a challenge, but it gave some of our neighbours the chance to build a very nice snow cat.

I had planned to stroll […]

Of books

One of the best things about being on holiday is actually having time to read. I read all the time, but not in the same way; usually it’s a case of 20-30 minutes at a time, which is still enjoyable, but not quite as satisfying as being able to read for as long as I […]

Welcome to my new place!

It’s been on the cards for a while, but I’ve finally done it. I’ve moved! If you are reading this, then welcome to my blog’s new home at www.three-legged-cat.co.uk

I’ve been using self-hosted WordPress for my professional blog and it’s just so nice to use, I love it, but moving three-legged-cat.blogspot.com to a new home […]
