Drugs!

I went to the pharmacy in the grocery store tonight to pick up some cold medicine for my man, who told me to get something with pseudoephedrine, cos “that’s the good stuff”. You have to ask at the counter nowadays for that so I did, begging for, “anything with pseudoephedrine in it”, like a junkie.… Continue reading Drugs!

BBC On Demand in the US

I’m so excited. The BBC is making its shows available through Zudeo sometime soon. (Zudeo is owned by the people who made the BitTorrent software.)

Money for Medicine

These ladies got naked to help their friend pay for the drugs that are keeping her alive after cancer treatment (cos, you know, a national health service would be the work of the devil.

I did it. It was my first time. I feel like a real grown-up knitter now. I taught my friend to knit. It totally did not push it. She came over (from the other side of the country, no less) and more or less instantly demanded that I teach her to knit. So I did.… Continue reading Adding Converts

Early Morning Writing

I woke up at 6.30 this morning, with no boys in sight or sound. I weighed the possibilities: go back to sleep for all of fifteen minutes, or get up and have a cup of coffee and a wee write, sitting at the dining table, watching the early morning light wash the sky/house line.
