back again, again

So, yes I've been gone again for ages but a lot has happened since my last post:

1. he who shall not be named had a job change
2. we've been 'enjoying' the trials of fertility treatment 
3. working full time always gets in the way
oh and...
4. we moved countries!

So as you can see all my time has been all taken up living outside the interwebs which is always sad as the real world has so many less distractions which means I have to be productive :(

So far no luck on the baby front but now I'm a lady of leisure I'll have more time to craft and blog so expect more :)

For now here is a picture of a subversive cross stitch that I did for a good friend of mine before I left her in the pits to continue her slavery to my former masters

PS - I now live in Doha in the Middle East which is very conservative and was surprised to hear 'I touch myself' by the Divinyls playing on the radio - it was like a little bit of rebellion in song :)

Neglected yet again

Once again I have neglected by blog and it is the love of shiny things that makes it so.

I start out with the best of intentions, committed that I will stick with it this time.........but then, oh look a shiny thing and then I'm off, searching the internet for something, learning a new craft, obsessing about finding out as much as I can about jellyfish - you know that sort of thing.

So since my last entry we have finally finished the house. We are still talking to each other, the artex effect is gone and my arms are the same size.

I've been back to oz to visit the family, have holidayed in Ireland and Spain and done more dreaded walking here in the UK than I like to think about.

I re-purposed this blog along time ago to show of my photographs so here are some random ones from the last couple of years:

a gecko in the light at our hotel in San Pedro Spain

The tip of the rock of Gibraltar

Dundee Beach, Northern Territory, Australia

The highest point in Shropshire*

I promise I will be back soon

*just a note to add here - once again I was 'conned' by He Who Shall Not Be Named and told this was a gentle walk on flat terrain - THIS WAS TO THE HIGHEST POINT IN SHROPSHIRE! Flat my arse
