...I finished in the caves and went on to putting all the shite that Evil nation a big promotion company uses on their festivals, back into their warehouse as their festivals have generally finished for the season. Today was a day off to to wash enough socks and pants for the next two weeks, when...
i've been working out in Corbett, Oregon, about 35 minutes outside of Portland. It's been lovely - i've been staying on the land while i help paint the most incredible, sustainably-built dream home... needless to say it makes crafting a bit difficult - i could knit but i'm generally tired and the...
No I'm not freezing - it's the name of a festival near Hereford that I'm off to tomorrow. You may remember I went to a festival at the end of May called Sunrise which was cancelled due to foul wet weather. Instead of giving us our money back, they've given ticket holders the option to attend Sunrise...
http://www.kendalcalling.co.uk/ When a chance to dust the old festival hat off comes to my doorstep there is no way that I am going to pass. Especially when the line-up includes Kowalski favourites British Sea Power and Super Furry Animals. Kendal Calling has been going since 2006 and it just grows...
I wrote this last Tuesday...I’ve had trouble posting it..sorry Last weekend was the London Food and Wine show. Despite the frigid weather we decided to head there. And boy was it cold. It was really cold. It was held at the fairgrounds, but the signage was really poor. We ended up at the wrong...
What a beautiful evening. I just cannot believe that this is mid October. We went to Oktoberfest again and though the group had decreased in size it was a wonderful time. Kitchener, or really Berlin, does and excellent job with this festival and as usual we stayed at the Walper Terrace Hotel, which...
This weekend was a big thing for me so I’d like to thank the people who had a lot to do with me being able to do the seminar. First: Shelley Thrasher and everyone at the Shores of Erie. Shelley runs the demonstration tent. She gave me the opportunity to speak and was wonderful to deal with. Second...
Well it was a lovely end to the summer. Terry and I decided to go to the Harrow fair but I had the great idea to visit a few wineries on the way.....well we did get there...eventually. First stop was Sprucewood. There are new wines and some have already sold out. We tried the new Rose which is Pinot...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Civic Holiday. Terry, myself and the yute took in the Highland Games (we almost became caber kill, but Angus saw better than to toss the caber into the stands we were sitting in....I rather liked that...last year someone tossed a caber right where we sat this...
Saturday was a wonderful day. Not too hot nor was the sun oppressive. Got up early so that Terry and I could take the yute to his parade, as he is in a marching band. And I just hate parades but hey…ya gotta show up, so we were in Kingsville, so I thought…there is a pier here with a fish...
Sunday was a beautiful day. The sun was out and it wasn't too hot and it was the Open House at Erie Shores. I don't know how they do it but the weather was beautiful again, just like last year. This year Terry and I took my brother and his wife. She has shown interest in the areas wines so we hoped...
OOPSY...I wrote thus last week and forgot to post it..so here it is.. I hope everyone's ac is working well. This is just not right. Terry and I wanted to go to Epicure but the heat was just too much so we ate in. This is where the fun began. We turned a leg of lamb on the bar-b-que. With that we had...
Well summer is officially here. Carousel has passed. This year I was a wee bit disappointed by some of the villages but I still had fun. I wish that some of the 'more exotic' villages could be found but the tried and true were all there. At least are having more dancers so that is good too. My hat...
More Pinot Goodness Well what winery came with the biggest hype, most labels and fanciest digs. Well, come on its easy....View Pointe. I had heard a multitude of rumors about the wine, the building etc and when it opened I was a little apprehensive. I had had their wine at a Epicure a couple of...
I'm back!!!! Well I wasn't gone long but it was Oktoberfest time and that means loading up and off to Berlin. Where's that you ask: well for some reason after WW1 they changed the name to Kitchener after Lord Kitchener, who was a British General. I guess they didn't have a sense of humour about the...

Well, since I can't sign into anything except my email at work, I guess I'll write myself an email and then post it later. It's the second last day for me before the summer vacation and all of my classes got canceled today. Jun said he was going to just go over their summer homework and do self-stud...
Anyone of my Efx readers feel free to peruse "my neighbours" - there are lots of efxers here you might find you know quite a lot of each other! Efx is down for the third day and no-one seems to be able to fix it until Keith or Martin check in *scratches head and wonders how long that could be?* In...
One of my spam messages yesterday had the subject line of "oyster perpetual cosmograph." Sounds vaguely steampunkish, doesn't it? And off we go... I was reading details of William Gibson's induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and noticed that steampunk was mentioned as a literary genre. I...
