At huge risk of being boring (don't care, not boring to me), walked along a bit of Salisbury Cathedral Close wall today & looked at carved stone from the previous cathedral at Old Sarum & possibly a couple of masons' marks. It is in a really bad way: when I was a child that head looked like a head.

It's that time of year when I show you my favourite Christmas photo, which is me receiving a present from Father Christmas c1969. (I don't think it was the REAL F.C.)

Another go at spinning. Made actual yarn! Much better than my first attempt. Uneven, and I did the plying with the help of a cat and a door handle, so that's uneven too. I must find out how you're supposed to do it.

I’m trying cording with wool. It’s what came before spinning and is not difficult but is slow. Appaz you can also put a twist in your wool by rolling it on your thigh, but only if you don’t have a cat. Cats are rubbish at spinning but excellent at needle felting

I've discovered that it is possible to make string out of the outside layer of leeks, and it's a leek soup day so.. step one: they need to dry.

I've just remember how the scanner lid lays flat, so now I can scan my bigger pictures and photoshop them together without the shadows being the wrong way round.
