Keeping Me Honest: June 2012
http://keeping-me-honest.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 June 2012. I've tried blogging before and I've never been good at it. Not because I can't write, but because I always find an excuse to put things off or not to. See, I've realised something. A friend of mine is keeping a blog to help improve his life - to lose weight, set goals, all sorts ( http:/ tohitarseclass0.blogspot.co.uk. Well, if it's written down in black and white, surely it will be easier to keep honest, right? I did look at the jobs on jobs.ac.uk, however, I really don't...Howev...

Keeping Me Honest: Green Alkanet + Update
http://keeping-me-honest.blogspot.com/2012/10/green-alkanet-update.html
Wednesday, 3 October 2012. This week is turning out to be quite busy. Not only did I do my day at Record this week, and I'm in work (and working outside of work too), but I've also got two mammal trapping days and. A fungi day on Saturday. Big week, so expect some updates later in the week and across the weekend. Look at that stem! It's scientific name has stuck in my head ever since I heard it; literally translated, it means "five-tongues always alive" (or five-tongues evergreen). Green Alkanet has ...

Interesting Pretties: January 2013
http://interestingpretties.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 January 2013. Medieval Glasses and Viking Reading Crystals. As a leatherworker, I get extremely interested when I hear the phase "leather framed glasses". I never knew such a thing existed until a few days ago, when I saw a link to an article discussing a rare book containing an even rarer imprint of glasses. Yes, someone, several hundred years ago, shut their glasses in the back of a book they'd been reading:. Between 1000 and 1250, pr es byopic. Mon ks use d reading stones, often made of b...

Interesting Pretties: AFK for Nine Weeks
http://interestingpretties.blogspot.com/2013/03/afk-for-10-weeks.html
Saturday, 30 March 2013. AFK for Nine Weeks. So I've been AFK since January which means I've not updated my blog and I've barely been pinning. In fact, I've barely seen many of my real life friends for that matter. Well, that stops now. Of course, I do have a very good reason at least. What I made in the last week of January:. Ladies Hero Belt: Celtic and shaped for us girls with hips. Makes a huge. Monogrammed Kindle Cover: Proof I don't just make costume! What I made in February:. I also started making...

Keeping Me Honest: July 2012
http://keeping-me-honest.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 July 2012. Quiet week of quiet. Last week was hectic, hence not posting on Thursday. I applied for all four positions except for the reserves worker job - I mixed up the due days, sadly. Having said that, it was a really long shot that one. Fingers crossed for the other ones though. Nothing heard back yet, but it's not even been a week for some of them. And that's not even everything for the moot. still, looking good! Thursday was a day IKEA and I finally. Thursday, 19 July 2012. That done, I ...

Keeping Me Honest: Learning to See
http://keeping-me-honest.blogspot.com/2012/09/learning-to-see.html
Wednesday, 26 September 2012. This isn't so much a post about ecology, but a couple of times now in both my hobbies and whilst out on bat walks and such I've noticed that people assume that they can't see in the dark. About five years ago, I started doing hobbies that meant that I had. If you're cordoning off an area for safety with glowsticks, use red spectrum glowsticks for the same reason. Don't just assume that because it's dark, you can't see! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Two Types of Moss.

Interesting Pretties: October 2012
http://interestingpretties.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 29 October 2012. Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Viking Warrior. Sure, that sounds like jest, but I find it hardly surprising in a lot of ways. I know I can fight with a sword and shield; I also know that there's no way I'd want my other half to go off to colonise another country without me. And dammit, I'd want my brooches and. My sword, especially if the brooches were being used to hold my clothes on. Which they were:. Revival clothing - brooches in place! Although I'm fairly certain they didn't know abo...

Interesting Pretties: April 2013
http://interestingpretties.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 4 April 2013. I have had my head in a world of costume and dwarves lately. So it may sound like I'm losing my grip on reality when I say that The One Ring, The Preciousssss, actually exists in the real world - and it's not a film prop. Above: The ring and a close up of the Venus head, sourced from The National Trust website. Of course, to curse something properly, you'd have to write the curse on a separate item, cursing the first one. Why? Roman curse tablets from the British Museum. Translati...

Interesting Pretties: The Smithfield Decretals
http://interestingpretties.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-smithfield-decretals.html
Monday, 26 November 2012. In my random googlings today, I came across a manuscript with the weirdest marginalia. It's the Decretals of Gregory IX with glossa ordinaria,. Specifically The Smithfield Decretals. This work was a collection of medieval canon law, designed to replace all the previous collections. Originally compiled in 1230, this specific manuscript was actually finished around 1300 in Southern France. Well, the written part was. Top: The last page of the Smithfield Decretals. There are also s...
