I would also have cried with joy if Id seen that wee snowman! All the kids round here do is make snowballs with dog poo inside them! Im definitely typical of my star sign - Im a scorpio and typically moody, angsty, jealous, passionate and have a very quick temper!

Pretentious? Eh?

Heaven forfend someone, let alone a girl use long words on the internet!

And talking about anything intelectual? That's a no-no as well, you need to limit your journal to simply mashing the keyboard and hitting "Post" from now on.

Go here and understand that we, for better or worse, are the adults now.

meep girly! when are you back from canada?

I love the paintings well done!!

My blog is all about cake too!

You are so sweet.

I love your photos and it makes me cry to think of all the beautiful people in the world that aren't happy.

Much love xx

i hope you had a fun birthday

Hi Cherry,
That was quite a well written blog on Micheal Stone, you highlighted some areas/ aspects I had not considered, well done.

I remember years ago when Mr Stone sneaked up on a IRA funeral, and launched some hand grenades/ home made bombs, he was even on telly a few months ago, telling his tale of how he killed a Catholic delivery man, he told in detail the integence, weaponry, and planning he received from senior loyalists.

I also saw a programme about how some members of the IRA though they had been manipulated and used by senior Republican terrorists, they were 17 at the time when they were recruited, and were very angry young men, ripe for manipulation.

I have been to Dublin and seen the bullet shell holes etched on the main post office building, which the IRA held out in, bit of an Irish shrine now, a lot more than a Post office building, my friend who I went with is half Irish, he bought a copy of the Irish declaration of Independence, and got Jerry Adams to sigh it, who he met by chance at Cork airport.

Happy birthday .

May your quarter life crisis be fabulous!!

But honestly just enjoy yourself!!

The Demolished Man is a great book. As for that cover artwow!! My copy doesn't have quite such an exciting cover. Some of my Bradbury's have got similarly funky cover art as they are second-hand 1960s Corgi editions. One of my favourite covers is the one on my copy of Asimov's Nightfall One. It's a picture of a human face. The forehead s a picture of a house with some trees and a sky behind and the rest of the face is made from plasticene and looks a bit like a bird's eye view of different coloured fields etc.

PS that cake looks tasty.

I think that might have worked in the boards or been good timing because the local page was defaulting to Great Britain and now it is defaulting to UK. At this moment, it says that we don't have any local groups, so something has been changed in the last hour or so...

Anyhow. I thought your pics of Boneshaker were lovely. And I haven't tried icing anything yet, but I have got a nozzle, coupler and bag, so I'm just searching for something to try next weekend. I've just made a lemon syrup loaf and a choc-orange marble cake for some friends I'm visiting tomorrow.

Daisy's new set is great, well done!
