So, I should have blogged about this a long long time ago but I didn't really want to jinx it but as visas are all sorted and everything is booked, I can now post here what I have been squeeing about all over Facebook and Twitter for weeks now: I'm travelling to France and the UK over Easter! I'm also travelling to UPCon2012 the weekend after!
Why the trip? Apart from it being made from several types of awesome and it being 7 years since I last travelled abroad?
I have been promising myself to get one of these for ages as they really are investment that will last easily 10+ years. When my little Sunbeam was collapsing under the weight of all the cupcakes I have been baking (butter icing is awesome but tough to beat up), I knew the time had come to get one.
You are lying a forest clearing. The sun is warm upon your skin. There is bird song. It is peaceful here. It is safe.
You stand and look at the ring of trees. There is a arch in south-west leading out the clearing. You walk through it and follow the path. The path winds through the trees.
"I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night Until Monday morning feels like another life"
Date: 5 October 2011 Venue: Cape Town Stadium Location: Cape Town. South Africa Supporting act: The Parlotones
I hadn't intended in going to the see Coldplay. I'm not much of a fan and the tickets when they came out were more expensive than I was willing to pay. The concert was well worth it though.
Bed jacket knitted out of cotton for my Gran's 90th birthday. The panels were machine knitted with the lace edging hand knitted on afterwards. The front features a small lace panel on each side.
Made for my dear friend @AniB in black chunky double knit and cherry red double knit on DPNs. This set don't have beeds around the edge as the wool is thick enough for a firm edge without them.
Trivia: Abby wears a set of these in NCIS season 8 episode 10 “False Witness” sent to her by @bonniejacobs.
The graffiti covering the factory walls bubbles and crackles from the heat. Rivulets of blood trickle from under the doors forming a river of crimson flowing down the pavement. He stepped clear of the churning mess and looked back at the business his grandfather had built. They'd used to make those little firetrucks he'd loved so much.
They would be here soon. The real ones, not the toys. An industrial fire this big wouldn't be ignored for long. He could just about make out their sirens already.
"Kill them! Burn it down! No one can know!" The thoughts clanged in his head like the loser buzzer of that last slot machine only a few hours before. He clutched his head, the gun barrel still warm enough to singe. Kneeling before the blaze, he prayed John would forgive him.
Round and round it goes, where it stops, do you know?
Will you continue the dance of desire like those you led, the beat now whiping demons and not your rocking bed? Or will your words return to haunt, smelling now as vile as their intended taunts?
Will baptism by holy fire be your penance or boiling pitch your fate for trading in the secrets of Church and State? Or will your head be turned around, forever cursed to look behind for trying to look ahead?
Will your gilded cloaks now be a great weight, hampering your previously smooth gait? Or will you be chased by snakes and lose yourself for all that you did take?
Will you burn for the evil you wrought, be divided up for those you tore apart?

@tallulahlucy purple :-P ... More seriously, streaks of each in various shades I'd imagine but we use Elumin VV on it so more violet
