Ey Up Lad…
Today is the 20th Birthday of Wallace and Gromit. This makes me feel very old. It only seems like yesterday that ‘A Grand Day Out’ first came out and I'll have been 10. Fast forward a few years later whilst at uni, I went to a guest lecture conducted by a nice lady from Aardman where I had the opportunity to meet Gromit (well one of the many models of him anyway). Good times. The 'Cracking Contraptions' are my favourite Wallace and Gromit animations, the best of which is "Shopper 13" in my opinion and my other favourite Aardman character is Angry Kid. A quick web search spat this out from last year which I think is fabulous and Google have also wished the two cheese lovers many happy returns too. I think I'll be getting my Niece this
Hookers & Needles…
Last week I finally got my finger out and applied for an invite for Ravelry, which arrived yesterday and so far I'm loving it. I'm hoping it'll help inspire me enough to get the yarn and needles out again, which looking through the free pattens I doubt it'll fail. Hopefully it will give me the kick up the backside I need to finally organise the Stitch & Bitch I've wanted to establish for a while as well. I've also celebrated my 30th birthday and have had an amazing time. Lots of excellent presents received and lots of alcohol consumed.
Today is going to be spent doing some odd jobs and I am planning on doing some baking this afternoon. I did some on-line shopping recently with ASDA and I must have done something wrong as I ended up with far too many bananas as I have a ton of them which are slowly going black so I think some Banana Bread, Banana Muffins and some Banana Biscuits are in order. Today is going to be a good day.
Hello.
