Reasons: moving house!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I have finally got the home i have always wanted. I now have a lovely Ground Floor flat( no stairs, yippee!) very close to the city centre(10 Min's on my new electric bike called Winifred, as she makes this whinnying sound as she powers along) and I have a wet room bathroom which is just fab. And best of all, its a council flat, so i am finally on a decent level of rent, and secure in the fact that they wont kick me out , unlike private landlords who are always selling property etc.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So as i mentioned i now have an electric bike. I got rid of my beloved Volvo, Bertie, as she was just getting too expensive to repair and run. And so i am now the Eco lass on my electric bike, see me whizzing round Cambridge, alot of people have. And i love it. Its not so much now its winter, but knitting soon helps take care of that. Wish she had some gears and suspension though, as my hands are still taking a real battering.</span>Scarlethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13901306642647893391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678709.post-44153443620324642082008-07-11T11:42:00.004+00:002008-12-11T05:32:00.703+00:00R.A.O.K.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3f9niTjROiP3vZaVN3OTlS0pOfhDDbjIvcXOHvzKA8DJ09QY2nR-lmgWVkFjDJjWv6YEv0SpcVrQ-ONlQkTHFQ7WLFn0Gt4Xz2ixLtcFcs78Snw2I02kvZed0mTQeBnYpJ94i/s1600-h/phoenix.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3f9niTjROiP3vZaVN3OTlS0pOfhDDbjIvcXOHvzKA8DJ09QY2nR-lmgWVkFjDJjWv6YEv0SpcVrQ-ONlQkTHFQ7WLFn0Gt4Xz2ixLtcFcs78Snw2I02kvZed0mTQeBnYpJ94i/s400/phoenix.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221726627020254818" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-family:arial;" >Every so often i like to practice Random Acts Of Kindness.

So i went and signed up and had a nosey about, and found an interesting woman called Mysticfarah from New york in the US. And so i read some of her blog, as i tend to do, to get to know people a little better. And she very much sounded like she and i had a similar view on life. So i emailed her yesterday. And sent her this</span> <p style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: arial;">I just found you through the curvy girls group. Being one i thought i really should join up.

And i know you say Kama isn't working for you very well, and believe me, i am not getting my fair share of it at the moment. But i am here to say, i am your bit of good Kama today. Because i found you through some very random events and i am letting you know you are beautiful(humans should really tell other humans nice things sometimes, especially ones they don't know)</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: arial;">Someone randomly did this for me, i looked at her groups, found she was i the curvy girls group, then found you, and hey presto! random act of kindness was achieved!

This trait distinguishes imaginative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. People who are open to experience are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty.

I have been hoping that when i finally find myself a, decent, social housing home to move to, that i will have a garden. The reality of food and fuel prices going up, somethings gotta give. And if i can't keep costs down by riding a bicycle(see previous posts) i want to try and grow more food. I already have rhubarb and strawberries, tomatoes, chilli, bell pepper and salad leaves in my current city garden. All of which pretty much take care of themselves, apart from the harvesting, low maintenance is the key! The hope would be to create raised beds out of scavenged or freecycled materials, to make this as pain free as possible, and to add to this, i would dearly love some chickens.</span><a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz1aQilx8DUdC-OzXP26VP5WWO3N7MzcEehu02_pFwCImF9JPCeTpdhyphenhyphena24N1D7u9SrAKdxXTFR0SodsraVwbT5NalNuc1si3wNl1B6hU-CyAZZLknDSQLujR1heXsiX0CS7nt/s1600-h/chicken.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz1aQilx8DUdC-OzXP26VP5WWO3N7MzcEehu02_pFwCImF9JPCeTpdhyphenhyphena24N1D7u9SrAKdxXTFR0SodsraVwbT5NalNuc1si3wNl1B6hU-CyAZZLknDSQLujR1heXsiX0CS7nt/s400/chicken.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221061953016401090" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Now being me i do my research. I never like to go into projects uninformed, and besides research is fun(yes you heard me correctly, i like it). So i have been surfing for some of today to look up the costs and care involved. Along with how to house them, what to feed them and set up costs etc.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">It seems the chooks(as it seem most people call them) are very inexpensive, Between £10 and £20 per chook. Although i love the idea or rescuing a couple of battery hens, which they cull after 3 years when laying production drops, even though they will continue to lay for another couple of years. These tend to be free. literally! What a nice way to give some good Kama out.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">This does however contrast with the set up cost. About £350 for the coop, run, food etc. So i think i either need to pop this pipe dream bubble now, or hope that a charity(that may be able to help me with resettlement costs, cooker, flooring etc.) will see it as a good thing to allow me to 'grow' my own food.

font-family: arial;">some</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> time with a nice fella for part of my absence. Only to find it wasnt enough time to feel special enough to him so i said goodbye and went on my merry way.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Rest of time spent seeing friends, movies, knitting,knit group, working on family photos archiving, any generally tying to get some rest and feel better.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">That plan was kinda working till last week. Got a sore throat on the wed night, woke up on thursday feeling like death warmed up. Now have a chest infection, and a bitter mouth from the side effects from the drugs trying to make me feel better, oh and bacterial conjuntivitis(oh boy do i hate bloody hayfever!) . And so i am litteraly dosed up to the eyeballs!! And coughing like a 90 year old thats smoked 50 a day for the last 60 years! but hey with this gravelly voice of mine i could make some seriously naughty phonecalls! See, i still have a sense of humour. I think that the illness could be down to going on a a disasterous first date with a fella on the wed night perhaps ;-) And my body reacted in the most severe way.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I will never know, but hey , thought of it kinda makes me laugh. And when things get this bad you gotta laugh really, otherwise youre just gonna cry</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So i got bored this avo. And i am just about able to look at the computer screen again, after much light sensetivity with sick eyeballs, and so have been aimlessly surfing for a bit.

You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women. </p>Scarlethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13901306642647893391noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678709.post-20068680496600305102008-02-07T15:39:00.000+00:002008-02-07T15:49:21.524+00:00Bygone days<img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Clare/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">A little rant on my part to go with </span><a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://caughtknitting.blogspot.com/">Rosies blogg</a><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> about </span><h3 style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" class="post-title"><a href="http://caughtknitting.blogspot.com/2008/02/esmeraldas-flopsies.html"> Esmeralda's Flopsies</a></h3><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">What can i say, except i agree.

And some how the conversation comes around to the subject of men’s underwear, like it does, mainly Hilary saying that her hubby needed new ones and that it was hard to find what you want these days. </p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(102, 102, 204); text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal">Now I must point out at this point that Hilary is lethally allergic to nuts. And so Tesco is a no go area as far as food is concerned for her, <span style=""> </span>as they annoyingly will not guarantee any of their products to be nut free ‘ May contain nuts’ or ‘ produced in a factory which may have previously used nuts in production’ are likely things to be found on their packaging.
