The first time Isis drank cow's milk, she was disappointed that it wasn't vanilla flavoured. You should have seen the disappointment all over her face. There is a story behind this. Last year, I bought a tin of pediasure to feed Freya. It is vanilla flavoured (which Freya didn't care about, but did make her vomit smell better). When we got Isis, I figured that she could drink the pediasure instead of commercial cat milk, since it is also lactose free. So Isis grew up thinking that milk was always vanilla. So she was very surprised the first time she had regular cow's milk, because it tasted different. | | Monday, August 30th, 2010 | | 6:46 pm |
I feel the urge to make something beautiful. Alas, I have a busy week of marking ahead of me, which means that I need to conserve my hands because marking usually means a flare-up of RSI. So, I need to make something beautiful without using my right thumb.... | | Monday, August 23rd, 2010 | | 10:04 pm |

new pointe shoes
bloch, soft amelie, 3X width, 4.5 length really for my own records, so I can see how they long they last for, and so I remember what size to get next time. Although when I put them on with ribbons for the first time yesterday, I was working through the demi-pointe when there was a loud 'crack' sound from each shoe. Rather disconcerting. Don't seem to have broken the shanks though..... | | Friday, July 30th, 2010 | | 9:06 pm |
ouch, my hand is really really sore again........ | | 6:18 pm |
my guilty secret
I really like banjo music. Because everything is funnier with banjoes. | | Sunday, July 25th, 2010 | | 8:28 pm |

right, so I've been sick for a week. Just a cold type thing, but nonetheless incapacitating. And today, feeling better, I did stuff for two hours (stuff being exciting things like cleaning the litter tray), and am now all fuzzy and unable to stand up. what a waste of school holidays | | 12:02 pm |
warning- discussion of cat pooping follows
Well, Hermes resolutely refuses to poop on the human toilet. While he will pee down the toilet (and even chooses to do so in preference to using the litter tray when Isis has done a stinky poop), he WILL NOT POOP. If we remove the litter tray, he goes and poops neatly BESIDE the toilet. And then comes and pokes at me until I go and clean it up :( So he KNOWS that the toilet is the place for poop, he just won't do it ON the toilet. What are my options? The cats cannot go outside during the day (not safe because there are killer dogs in the neighbourhood, Hermes gets scared of the outside, Isis can't go out in bright sunlight because of her wonky eye). I am sick of dealing with kitty litter ervery day. I really hoped (in an optimistic way) that they would go for using the human toilet, and indeed, they will both pee down the human toilet. Isis will poop on the tray on the human toilet, but so far hasn't actually pooped down the toilet. But Hermes WILL NOT POOP there. p.s. for those late to the story, we are using the litter kwitter system | | Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | | 2:45 pm |

today I thought that I was getting over this cold..... after a 3hr trip to the shops, I needed a 3hr sleep now I feel even sicker than I did before blah | | 11:39 am |
here's my post
Here's the post I should have written a few days ago, but didn't. Went to melb, had a lovely time. Missed a few people, but caught up with lots more. Spent time with family. Came home & promptly (as in, within two hours) got sick. Have spent the last two days lounging around and scoffing vitamins. Am missing knitting, after mishymoo took me to a beautiful knitting shop in the city. Want more project runway. Might go out today, still sick but need sunlight. | | Sunday, July 11th, 2010 | | 7:59 pm |
I should write a post but I don't feel like it | | Sunday, June 27th, 2010 | | 7:54 pm |
Some of you may remember that 18 months ago I spent a month with my right arm in a wrist brace and sling, while the inflammation went down. What I haven't mentioned is that the problem is still there, and makes doing much sewing or knitting painful. It flares up badly every time I do a big batch of marking. So this is actually one of the reasons why I've enjoyed kumihimo so much. Because once i got a marudai, kumihimo is actually very low stress on my hand, and is soothing and calming, and allows lots of small achievable projects. My latest crafty addiction is making what Z calls 'maglet people'. You print out the people and clothiung from the website http://www.makingfriends.com/f_Friends.htm, cut them out (I can cut IF I use my nifty ergonomic scissors, otherwise OWIES). Then stick the clothes on the people, run them through a laminator, and stick a magnet on the back. Very popular with three years olds. They stick to whiteboards, the fridge, the washing machine etc. I started out making a variety from the website. Then I had the idea of making a Village People set. This involved a bit of fudging the clothes from the website. Then I made a set representing the saturday morning ballet class. Bit of altering to get the outfits right. Then I made a set of costumes from various ballets. This was starting to require lots of changes to the original designs. And just then I realised that the Biblical designs could be easily altered to medieval outfits. And then I could make maglet people of all my SCA friends..... | | Sunday, June 20th, 2010 | | 6:50 pm |

The problem with getting up to the shoulder level in dirty water cleaning out the shower drain, only to find that the reason for the problem is the large amount of rain last night filling the outside drainage system, is that then you can't have a shower to get clean. p.s. had to be me putting my arm down the drain becuase JB had too many muscles for his arm to fit. Damn my puny upper body strength..... | | Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 | | 10:19 am |
I haz a mini-me!
I do an intermediate foundation class on Saturday mornings, because it is the level doing beginner pointe work. Saturdays is also the day when several of the classes for very little kids are on. The daughter of two of my teachers is four, and her class is early on Saturdays, and then she stays and watches the other classes because she is crazy about ballet. Last term I started letting her play with my ipod during class, because otherwise she wanted to play with C's (who was teaching the class), which was very distracting for C. Yesterday she was playing with my ipod, and watching a video of Sesame street ('how kind of you to put that on it for her' said my teacher; those who know me well know that it was on there already because I love Sesame street). Then she came over and stood next to me at the barre and copied the exercises. So cute! Then she did the rest of the class with us, standing next to me and copying everything. | | Saturday, May 22nd, 2010 | | 4:03 pm |
breakthrough!
Hermes has definitely peed on the kitty tray up on the toilet, and somebody has pooped (don't know which cat, but the evidence was there when I got home). Yay! |
