The trick with this one is to type your first name followed by “needs” into Google and then list the first 10 results that pop up. I seem to have run into a bit of a problem with other Miriams having already done the meme so I’m exercising some editorial discretion and picking out the better ones. Here we go: Miriam needs… Miriam needs a Productivity Buddy to help her stay on track – What an excellent idea! Miriam needs our support – yes, I need you all. Right NOW! Be supportive! Miriam…needs some help debugging her online shop – … Continue reading Sorry, it’s just a meme

Why it’s more than a week!

mimbles

As I brought up my poor neglected blog to contemplate perhaps, possibly, perchance actually posting something, into my head popped “it’s more than a week!” instantly followed by an inner recitation of the following*: EmmelineHas not been seenFor more than a week. She slipped betweenThe two tall trees at the end of the green…We all went after her. “Emmeline!” All the way through to: Where have you been?Why it’s more than a week!” And EmmelineSaid, “Sillies, I went to see the Queen.She says my hands are purfickly clean!” Now, my hands are indeed purfickly clean but I can’t claim to … Continue reading Why it’s more than a week!

What the heck…

Alix asks have you got the cajones? Post a picture of yourself right now. As you are right now. As you read this. No running to get dressed or put on make up or fix your hair or whatever. Just YOU! Anyone brave enough to play along? Ready… Set… CLICK!. Apparently the answer is yes, yes I do. And here I am at 1:00am, slightly bleary-eyed but otherwise pretty much as you’d see me on any average sort of day. I didn’t even need move from my spot on the lounge to do this, thanks to the webcam in my … Continue reading What the heck…

Liz of Eternal Lizdom is being crafty and is going to share her talents and she’s inviting her readers to do the same. The deal is that I am supposed to follow these rules: This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! 2. What I create will be just for you. 3. It’ll be done this next month. 4. You have no clue what it’s going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or something sewn.I may draw or paint something. I may bake … Continue reading Want a gift from me?

First Born

mimbles

MPJ tagged me for this over on Facebook but because I’m bloody minded and stuck in my ways I’m doing it here rather than there (it shows up there anyway ’cause I have my blog feed updating Facebook). One for the mums – all about your first born. 1. WAS YOUR FIRST PREGNANCY PLANNED?Yes, well, in the sense that we stopped trying to avoid one – it happened a bit quicker than I’d anticipated though. 2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME?Yep, for 4 years. 3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS?Happy 🙂 4. HOW OLD WERE YOU?25 5. HOW DID YOU … Continue reading First Born

From my bookshelf & book club review

mimbles

It’s been a bit quiet on the reading front since my last bookshelf post. Once I finished the Egan and MZB I picked up Alastair Reynolds’ Pushing Ice which I had started ages ago but had put aside for no particular reason. It ended up coming away on our camping holiday with me and still lasted me through to early February. It kind of freaks me out when it takes me that long to finish a book, especially when I’m enjoying it (which I did, very satisfying grand scale sc-fi) – you know how some people stop eating when they’re … Continue reading From my bookshelf & book club review
