Rowley Poly Bird: February 2012
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 February 2012. I will knit and wear a Scarf of Doom with pride. Deadly Knitshade is the sort of knitter all knitters want to be. She's a fab designer, a brilliant and clever writer, and she scrapes a living doing what we all love. Proper kudos! She also learned to knit - like so many others - when life was a bit shit. She appeared on BBC London news a few weeks ago (alongside the perfectly marvelous Aneeta Patel of Knitting SOS. I also have blue hair at the moment, blue hair is cool.) V...

Rowley Poly Bird: Nodavus!
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2012/07/nodavus.html
Friday, 6 July 2012. That's what a knitting spell would look like if I wrote Harry Potter.). Of course, even Molly Weasley doesn't have a knitting spell. That would take all the fun and the little imperfections out of handmade goodies. I've been crap at finishing Kirsty's Weasley Sweater but there's nothing like a broken leg to get the knitting juices going. So here's the finished object! I've also finished another sweater for Joshua. Unfortunately, it took a month so he's nearly grown out of it.

Rowley Poly Bird: October 2011
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 13 October 2011. The Royal Parks Half Marathon. I can't quite believe it, but I really did it! My time wasn't on target, but when the time came I decided to take part against medical advice, so I was just pleased to cross the finishing line at all. Maybe, just maybe, I'll do it again one day. Pall Mall, nearly 6 miles in. Labels: Royal Parks half marathon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Royal Parks Half Marathon. Milly - fashion blog. Miss Hilton - art blog.

Rowley Poly Bird: May 2013
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 18 May 2013. I'm not at a party this weekend so me and Mrs. RowleyPolyBird are sitting at home liveblogging instead! I know next to nothing about this year's contest except that it's being held in Malmö, Sweden, Bonnie Tyler is representing the UK, and there's a lesbian kiss in the Finnish entry. I'm ready with some knitting and a bottle of my Swedish beverage of choice (Kopparberg strawberry and lime, thanks), and I'm surrounded by Ikea furniture. Allons-y! Would be a bit self-defeating if not!

Rowley Poly Bird: January 2012
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 1 January 2012. 1 Finish everything I have on the needles: Kirsty's Weasley Sweater. My Over the Rainbow shawl. I find it hard to keep working on things for myself, when there's so much pretty to make for other people! 2 Knit some overdue presents: something pretty for the Wife to replace the Mangyle. She never wears (and donated to C4WS), a green tea cosy for a friend at Seminary, and one for Mum and Dad to match their new kitchen, a Bloody Stupid Johnson. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rowley Poly Bird: I used a bus!
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-used-bus.html
Thursday, 2 August 2012. I used a bus! I had a clinic appointment in town today, but the clinic I was attending is on a main road. There are double yellow lines, and it's difficult to stop, so although I was able to get dropped off there by Mum I couldn't get a local taxi firm to come and pick me up. The nearest place I could be picked up within the town centre was a bus stop 0.2miles, 4 minutes away (according to Google Maps). It's not far, but up a steep hill and took me 20 minutes to walk there.

Rowley Poly Bird: July 2012
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 July 2012. Learning from the wheelchair weekend. I have always tried to understand how hard it can be as a disabled person to deal with getting around day-to-day. The world doesn't make it easy; help is there but has to be specifically requested and the onus is on the traveller to calculate all the timings precisely. I've been aware of this for some time; I worked with disabled students at UCL and sat on the 'Committee for People with Disabilities'. Being dependent on taxis is really hard work...

Rowley Poly Bird: Navigating London in a wheelchair (part 2)
http://rowleypolybird.blogspot.com/2012/07/navigating-london-in-wheelchair-part-2.html
Sunday, 15 July 2012. Navigating London in a wheelchair (part 2). After yesterday, I suppose I should have predicted how tired I would feel waking up, but I underestimated by a long way! Muscles I'd forgotten even existed in my arms and my right (i.e. non-broken) leg were sore as soon as I woke, but I managed to wash, dress and get down to breakfast in the hotel this morning. I was astonished, however, that whilst I was eating breakfast, someone moved me out of their way! I was lucky again to have some f...
