Talented Musicians
You may remember the talented Lisa Busby of Sleeps in Oysters, whose work has turned up in this blog before? I haven’t seen Lisa in ages since she has spent the last couple of months buried in her home in London, sewing CD cases for the latest Sleeps in Oysters release: ‘We kept the memories […]
Walking and Listening.
Thanks so much everyone for your help in identifying the mystery bird from my last post! I think you are all right and the sound I heard was a Great Tit singing. The first few files that I found through google relating to the birdsong of Great Tits didn’t sound at all like what I […]
More Sounds…
This morning I heard this bird singing while I was in the bath. Does anyone know what it is?
Sounds
As well as visiting SeeWoo, today I managed to finally record a sound that has been evading my recorder for a while now. At the top of the main thoroughfare from where I live into Reading town centre, there is an automatic, revolving billboard. The billboard makes an amazing sound as the slats rotate, presenting […]

Composed.

But I do have this exciting glitterphones photo which is one of the images created in the process of designing the web-stuff for the Sonic Advent Calendar, and I can tell you […]
Much loved.
The other day I got a beautiful, hand-crafted package from one of my really great friends. It was so cheering and lovely that I felt it necessary to share the package and its lovely contents here and to make a public declaration of thanks for all the love. It has certainly filled me with joy. […]
Baby knitting.
In the rush up to Christmas and faced with the panic of not knowing exactly what to get for various newborns, I have been trawling the Ravelry queues for beauteous baby knits and casting on wildly about myself as if deranged. Somewhere between completing a pair of booties and a norwegian hat pattern, I have […]
