I bought new jeans yesterday and I’m half way in taking them up! When my Nan moved into a retirement/care place Mum gave me her sewing machine. I hadn’t taken it out until last night but it seems to work and is easy to use. I only got up to cutting off my jeans and […]

Schweet, I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.1 without any hitches. Except for my spell-checker not working. Ella (the name for this version) claims to have spell checking, I just need to find it… Okay, so I need to use the visual editor to spell check… it’s actually much uglier than the regular editor and I don’t […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
