The Domestic Soundscape making, listening, thinkingfelicityford@outlook.com
Sex and The City: don’t worry, no spoilers!
I made it a personal priority to go and watch this year’s must-see movie and have to admit to feeling a bit deflated this morning in the aftermath of having seen it. I’ve decided to try and write a bit about the film… some thoughts, some recollections, to try and unpack my feelings. I’m wondering […]
Counting my blessings…
This is a thank-you post to everyone who has sent me/given me lovely things during this time of recovery from surgery. Firstly a massive thanks to Liz for the wonderful stitchmarkers she made for me and the visits she paid me out here in Reading. Secondly, thanks to Skeinqueen for custom-dyeing the own and the […]
Positive and Negative…
I have been wondering a bit about the potential ‘negativity’ of the Irritate-O-Meter, and asking myself whether it really is actually ‘negative’ to focus on the sounds that people find difficult in the everyday soundscape. From reading my PhD document, it ought to be obvious that I am all about finding new ways of celebrating […]
SLOUNGE
The event last night at the Vaults was amazing. It was really great to get a sense of how people might respond to questions like ‘how do YOU prepare the perfect cup of tea?’ or where people might place irritating noises along the irritate-O-meter. See it there, covered in post-it notes… All the voting on […]
One day
I might get to finish my Jaywalkers…
Washing up: What’s your type?
Since today is Messy Tuesday, I thought I’d share the ‘Washing-Up: which type are you?’ key that I just devised for our FRRS Activity Booklet & Evening tomorrow at SLOUNGE, with a partciular emphasis on Type C. But before I explain about the washing-up types and accompanying button badges, I’d better explain about SLOUNGE. Organised […]
Irritate-O-meter
I have just finished making the irritate-O-meter. This device is simply a measuring tool – like a thermometer – for gauging the level of irritation illicited by certain sounds. The idea is that whenever the Fantastical Reality Radio Show is conducting live interviews or hosting events, we shall bring along the irritate-o-meter and a host […]
The joy of button badges
Trying to reply to Needled’s recent post about button badges and failing to muster up adequately the words I wanted to find for the comments box, I abandoned that idea and decided to write a post on the subject instead. Like Needled, I find that button badges are nostalgic objects somehow associated with summer fetes […]
sock dilemmas and the summer itch
I am on a sock-knitting binge. This is fuelled in part by my desire to clothe my feet in the loveliest of handknits once they come out of bandages, and in part due to the excitement of the lovely Liz having her new Hopscotch sock pattern up on Ravelry for all to download. Having myself […]
