Last January, on our annual jaunt to London, we were sitting in the pub that we like to refer to as our London local, enjoying a beer and the amazing view of the river and St Paul’s, when I had a slightly worrying thought. We had […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 7th, 2015 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Food | Mr TLC | My Life. Comments are closedThere is something quite magical about being the person who brings the birthday cake. Mr TLC’s younger GrandKitten’s midweek birthday did mean that baking time was a little constrained, so I decided that a midweek special was required: a Victoria sponge cake, topped with butter icing, in the shape of an animal. Since the effect […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 6th, 2015 Posted in: Life | The Universe Tags for this post: More Cats | My Life. Comments are closedBeing King of the Castle We have booked a holiday cottage at a rather famous castle. I am far more excited about this than can be rationally explained. Did I tell you that we were staying in a castle? An actual castle? Woohoo!
A Spot of Star Gazing Last year we visited the Galloway […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 5th, 2015 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | The Job. Comments are closed1. Converted a muddy mess into a garden that I love Once upon a time we had an overgrown quagmire at the back of our house. Then some mild weather back in February allowed me to get started on some pruning and one thing led to another. We cut back, pruned, dug out and cleared […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 5th, 2014 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Spurious lists. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Watched a bike race. Learned to make croissants and Danish pastries. Listened to the blues whilst drinking beer at Tramlines. Went to the seaside. Got up early and made the most of the day. Had a lazy lie in bed with coffee and the newspaper. Rode a carousel. Shared fish and chips with Jonathan Livingstone […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 23rd, 2014 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life. 7 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)1. M1ldred Mr TLC is a bit of a classic car fan. Our car does not resemble a classic, but we like spotting more venerable vehicles as we trundle around. We used to mark sightings with a shout of “Classic car!” but at some point that changed to a hearty cry of “M1ldred!”. All old […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 20th, 2014 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Crookes | data | Sheffield | UK. Comments are closedFound them on the 2011 census website we did. The 2011 census data site is a bit of an internet rabbit hole. Having started browsing I spent a surprisingly long time discovering data about the area where I live. I thought the religion section was particularly interesting. There were religions I had never even […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 19th, 2014 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Maths | My Life. Comments are closedHow much is too much? We have plenty of space in the back of the car, but when buying bags of sand and pebbles as we did today, the big concern isn’t space, it’s weight. I didn’t want to do more trips to the builders’ merchant than necessary, neither did I want to be the […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 18th, 2014 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Books | More Cats | My Life. Comments are closedFutoshiki puzzles are strangely addictive (they are basically Latin Squares/Sudoku with < symbols). I used to enjoy these in my Saturday morning newspaper, but they were brutally axed. Now I’ve discovered that you can play online. Given how long I spent doing this yesterday evening, I’m not sure that this is a good thing. […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 17th, 2014 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: gardening | My Life. Comments are closedAugust 2013 This used to be a garden. Several years of neglect have taken their toll. We started doing some cutting back, but we didn’t get far – we spent too much time running away to the seaside every time the weather was fine. Still, we had an enjoyable summer and at least we made […] |
