  • leeds?

    I’m thinking of going to Leeds instead of Newcastle – any recommendations for places to stay? Areas to avoid?

    This whole trip planning thing is overwhleming! And the planner in me thinks I’m leaving things way late. Luckily train tickets still look pretty reasonable since I won’t actually be going anywhere until the 2nd week of May.

    And for a little fibery content, a project I’ve been working on (not very hard) for ages is finally starting to come together. It’s a blanket, though this isn’t the final configuration at all – just needed to see how many more hexes I need!

    Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! I had a pretty good birthday, with lots of presents to myself.

    New workstation! Still working on getting it set up – restoring from Time Machine is being a bit finicky. Might have to do a computer-to-computer transfer instead.

    A free-to-me piano! Needs work, but it really belongs to one of the guys that lives upstairs from me. Just somewhere to keep it until he has somewhere else to put it – in the meanwhile, once the innards come back from the piano repairman, I’ll be playing it all. the. time.

    after!

    And this week, I’ve been crocheting. I’d kind of forgotten that crochet really is awesome.
