nine to five: Leave No Trace
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/2015/08/leave-no-trace.html
Tuesday, 11 August 2015. My general view of life is that things have no meaning unless groups or individuals ascribe a meaning to them. This is a pretty freeing way of thinking and it's easy to not get bogged down with the big stuff, it also means I can get bogged down in very small stuff. I suppose my reason for being here isn't really my reason, my parents made that decision for me, so I don't have to think about that anymore *phew*. I keep seeing and hearing lots of things about legacy. Subscribe to: ...

nine to five: Do Instead of Buy
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/2015/08/do-instead-of-buy.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Do Instead of Buy. What I learned from the week of not buying anything is that when you don't buy anything you don't spend any money and it's the best way to use what you have. We made it to MIMA on Sunday after all. I'm really glad we did, all three exhibitions were excellent. The office of Useful Art, which is all about applied art,. For anyone in the North West just a public service announcement Art From Elsewhere. 5 August 2015 at 18:12. 6 August 2015 at 08:17. Im usually pr...

Living In The Land Of Oz: May 2015
http://middleagedreflections.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 May 2015. Gorgeous, isn't it? With a view like this, the overcast sky didn't matter at all! We took our time driving back along the bay through Altona (quick stop for an ice cream) looking at houses, both admiring and critiquing as only those who are addicted to watching home renovation and real estate programs can do. Work is still go go go at the moment and so nothing extraordinary has happened. I would love to do some more workshops but the home projects beckon. One day, one day....I'm e...

nine to five: Hoo-rain!
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/2015/08/hoo-rain.html
Friday, 14 August 2015. Just in time for my remaining vegetables, the rain has arrived. I love it when it rains here, I can look of of the big window and smell the smell of freshness and soil. Today I intend to install myself in the living area and do some sorting out of things, probably involving writing some lists, poking my head into cupboards and generally thinking about this and that. I also have crumpets. 14 August 2015 at 09:58. 17 August 2015 at 08:46. 14 August 2015 at 20:01. They did indeed :).

nine to five: Bin Slimming
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/2015/08/bin-slimming.html
Tuesday, 4 August 2015. Nine or ten years ago when we were in the swing of domestic bliss, paying off debts, making our nest and trimming our fat bodies we got rid of our kitchen bin. I'm not quite sure why we brought the bin back some years later, I think it might have been when the house went on the market, so the kitchen didn't look weird. Fast forward to this house, and I really dislike the bin. So it's going. In other thrilling news, I really like the new ironing board. 4 August 2015 at 19:12. Cutti...

nine to five: I did this - second attempt
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/p/i-did-this-second-attempt.html
I did this - second attempt. The first proper quilt, for Dan's dressing room. Detail - front and back. As much as I could take a picture of myself! 10 August 2013 at 09:36. Its lovely. The colours and fabrics are gorgeous! 16 August 2013 at 09:44. Thank you, its a very popular addition to the house. 28 May 2014 at 12:41. That is amazing - I love the colours. I keep threatening to have a go at a strip one myself as I have some fabrics from the seventies that need a project! 28 May 2014 at 14:32. C is for .

nine to five: I Can Read!
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-can-read.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. The last time I read a fiction book I read The Night Circus at the end of 2011. I have tried and failed to read many novels since then. On Saturday we went to Bury Art Gallery to hear a talk about Finland and the role of craft in Finnish culture by Anna Airaksinen. I confess. The Exhibition of contemporary Finnish art continues until 29th August. Labels: a nice cup of tea. 10 August 2015 at 11:58. 10 August 2015 at 12:40. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

nine to five: The Tricky One
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/p/the-tricky-one.html
2 May 2014 at 18:23. Ive just found this post and I love the colours and design of the quilt. It looks like a very long one? Is it a quilt or throw? 2 May 2014 at 19:32. It is a very long, narrow quilt, its for the sofa. Its long enough to cover us both but narrow so it doesnt trail on the floor or have too much bulk. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I like my blog as I like my buildings - brut. It doesn't always look beautiful but it does the job, unstaged, it is what it is, that's my life. C is for .

nine to five: Expense/Waste
http://ninetofive-ish.blogspot.com/2015/08/expensewaste.html
Thursday, 13 August 2015. We have been on alert for cryptosporidium in the water for a week now. I know it's hardly the end of the world, but it is a bit annoying at times to have to boil water for everything. I'm not going to use the term first world problem. Forgot to say, my compost bins arrived on Tuesday too, so we've set up a fod waste bucket in the kitchen and will move the piles of stuff in the garden into the bins at the weekend, weather permitting. 13 August 2015 at 08:47. Do you have Netflix?
