Glassy gifts
This year (because I wrote a list – try it…Amazon’s wish list now allows you to add items not just from amazon and also allows you to add notes as well!) I got some lovely glassy gifts. There are a set of mosaic cutters, grozing pliers and new metal running pliers as well as 2 … Continue reading
Christmassy!
I don’t really “do” Christmas, not that I’m all “bah humbug”, just that I don’t really want all that stuff to put up and take down again. The tree is really good enough for me to feel the Christmas spirit. So, it was a little surprise that on a glassy friends night out we did … Continue reading

Olympic Sailing
Weymouth is a loooong way from home, it’s also a long way from London for this London 2012 Olympics! There were predictions of massive traffic issues and if you look at a map you will see why, there is one road in and out of Weymouth. Debate ensued – should we even go and use … Continue reading
Nightmare!
Well now, I don’t usually talk about personal stuff and especially about work stuff, so I want to be clear this nightmare was of my own invention in REM sleep and is by no way a representation that I am trying to make to people alive or dead. I do not have control of my … Continue reading
