It's 20 past 8pm. He should have been home over two hours ago. There was/is a problem on the tracks, so he was sat in the train for over two hours. With no food, and no drink! My poor, poor T! They are out of the train now. Got fed up with waiting, so they decided to pull the emergency breaks thingy to open the doors - they were right by a station, so it's not like there's a straggle of hungry

You don't often see crafty stuff here, but hey, the sun is shining and I don't really need a reason! These bookmarks are in my shop. Their listings expire soon, though, so I've reduced the price and thrown in free shipping just because I'm in a good mood! They're $9 each, which is quite cheap considering that they are embroidered by hand. Go pick up these one of a kind bookmarks, so they can get

This has to be one of the weirdest things I've seen in a long while. REM and some muppets... so weird.

As I mentioned way back in October, one day I'd get a picture of this bumper sticker. And now I have. But it's on a different car - it took me so long that the owners managed to change cars in between. Luckily, they kept the bumper sticker, which is probably the best bumper sticker ever!

Holy cow, people, how cute are these nesting dolls?? So cute, I don't know which one to get/ask for for my birthday! It's a shame there isn't a Yoda or R2-D2 one! Oh man, if money wasn't an object, I'd get the bloody lot of them! Pictures from starwars.com and the dolls are available in the starwars.com shop.

As good a picture as I could get of the lunar eclipse. This is about 30-40 minutes into it. I was really excited to see it. Usually, when there have been eclipses in the past, I've not been able to see them, because of clouds, so I was really happy when it turned out to be a clear night. I could easily have stayed out to watch all of it, but it was a wee bit cold and T didn't think it was that

Bloody hell, people! I almost thought my computer had died earlier this evening. It just wouldn't do anything. No lights where on at all, it didn't reboot, I couldn't shut it down properly and even sticking the XP cd in it helped! T was saying that it looked like my hard drive had died! Imagine how I was cursing myself, because I've been neglecting to back-up my files and I was now staring the

Yesterday we went to see the film Hot Fuzz, which I can only recommend. It's lots of fun and has a few excellent spoof moments. Notably, one of Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. Oh, how I laughed at that one. Everyone else: not so much. Oh sorry, what the film is about? Okay, a top cop from London is so good he is sent away (because he makes the rest of the Met look incompetent!) to the country (2-3

For NM. On Sunday someone at work asked me "how old are you?", I replied by asking "how old do you think I am?" "23?" Nooo! "25?" Nope! "Older?!" Yup! "27, 28!?" Nope! "You're...30?!?!" Yes! "Really??!" I've decided to take it as a compliment, that I look younger than I am. The other option, that I act younger ("immature") than my age, is less flattering. Not sure why, and I'm not sure by

Shadow flowers Originally uploaded by wardi. Sorry about all the flower stuff lately. Not that I'm sorry, really, but it might not be to everyone's liking.And this isn't really about flowers, but about the shadow of flowers! Aren't they fascinating??

Still beautiful Originally uploaded by wardi. But I still think the tulips are beautiful.It's been interesting to see how (quickly!) the tulips went from their former glory to their current state. Yes, I've seen that before, but, it's till worth noting.I regret not taking a picture of them every day. Maybe the next bunch! ;-)

Dinner: risengrød Originally uploaded by wardi. The title is a wee bit of a Danish song - just ignore if you're not familiar with it... ;-)On a winter-y day like this, the perfect dinner is risengrød with cinnamon, sugar and a bit of butter melting in the middle!Risengrød is kinda like rice pudding, but since I've never tried actual rice pudding, I can't really compare the two.

Sometime last year, I told T that by Christmas I wanted our shopping list (we write one every week, it's almost like a religious act. Orrr not.) to be in Danish. And it was! Except for the English stuff that doesn't have a name in Danish. Usually, T writes it, and only rarely do I have to tell him how to spell a word. Even the words that use one, or more, of the extra three Danish letters. I'm
