The Domestic Soundscape blog is live.
I have finally gotten my wordpress blog, associated with my PhD topic, up and online. You can hear the first washing-up recording if you are so inclined! The URL is as follows: http://littlesongbox.co.uk/wordpress/ The littlesongbox site is hopelessly out of date and I think I have already messed up the css file for the blog, […]
The beginning of a project.
I have started my first project in relation to The Domestic Soundscape. The project is called Washing-Up and begins with a meal and a washing-up exchange that took place last week. The format for making recordings goes like this: Arrange time and date for washing-up and meal exchange to take place* Buy ingredients and visit […]
Back from Monza
Monza was beautiful and it was magical to get a weekend away, courtesy of Mark’s job. My favourite time was spent traveling to lake Como and wandering around the city, where I found some beautiful advent calendar images for readers of this blog: After wandering around for a bit we ate Polenta in a little […]
Xmas Swap
Today’s post is going to be image-heavy to compensate for my being away from tomorrow until Sunday. The advent calendar images for those days will have to be posted retrospectively, as I’m in Italy for those days accompanying The Man on his work Xmas do. I feel very lucky to be going away, and excited […]
Knitting Tarot
Recently it came to my attention that some folks have made a Knitting Tarot and this set me on a train of thought that I’ll share here, along with today’s advent calendar image. I looked at the cards and the information and thought they looked excellent. The small-scale, domestic production scale appeals to me and […]
Sunrise at dawn…
For today’s advent calendar image, I present you with the incredible sunrise that happened in my road at around 7:40am this morning. It really was stunning; all streaked in golds and pinks. I’m glad I got up at 5:45 to take Mark to the station; we giggled all the way in the freezingness – bantering, […]
A Peel-Off.
The Man and I have diametrically opposed views on the design of potato-peelers. I favour an ergonomic model with a large and curved handle, lifetime guaranteed blade, and smooth, inwards-moving peel action. I pull my peeler towards me whilst holding the potato in the other hand, and voila; the potato is denuded and my arthritic […]
Elly!
…in other news, today is the last day for entry in Ysolda’s competition and I am curious to see how people will like my own submission, which also features Monkl. You can see all the photos, submitted by all the contestants, at the flickr pool.
Gived.
For today’s Advent Calendar image I present an image from ‘Gived.’ This was Richard Layzell’s piece in today’s Nightfair Before Christmas. Once you had selected something from the stall, it was gift-wrapped and given to you free of charge. It was a very generous, fun, affirmative experience and it lifted my spirits enormously to receive […]
