A Viking sink and other things

A meme from Sarah, who got it from  The Simple Woman, written on 18th November.
Outside my window…
it’s dark and probably wet, but I can’t see through the blind.
I am thinking…
about work. Oh, dear. At the same time, I’m thinking about this blog post. I suppose that goes without saying.
I am thankful for…
Mr C, tea, food, friends, the [...]

Is it just me, too?

Sarah has written about some things that she thinks might be peculiar to her - ‘just me’ things - and has tagged me to do the same. So, does anyone else…
…ever feel like they might be an alien?
…feel bad about killing slugs (or indeed any other garden pest)?
….have trouble understanding why so many people find Little Britain and [...]

Green meme

Sarah tagged me to do this meme, but I’m afraid I’m not very green at all!
What’s the Bible verse/passage that best describes the way you think the world should be?
I don’t know if this counts, as it’s not a description of particular circumstances in the same way that Sarah’s chosen passage (Acts 2:42-47) was, but never mind.
The [...]

The Privilege Meme

Healing Magic Hands and the Singing Librarian have both participated in this meme. It’s quite an interesting one, so I thought I would give it a go.

It was devised by PhD students at Indiana State University. The original authors of this exercise are Will Barratt, Meagan Cahill, Angie Carlen, Minnette Huck, Drew Lurker, and Stacy Ploskonka at Illinois [...]

Seven weird facts about me

The rules of this meme are to share seven weird facts about yourself. I didn’t think it would be too hard to think of seven weird things about myself, but actually, I am having to think quite hard. Perhaps this is due to a slow-working brain, rather than any lack of weirdness on my part, [...]

A reading meme

I stole this from Reed, who stole it from Charlotte… 
1. Do you remember learning to read? How old were you?
No, I don’t remember learning to read, but then again I don’t remember much about my early childhood. I think I vaguely remember my mum reading stories to me at bedtime and I remember that at [...]

A booky meme

This booky meme is going the rounds of bookish bloggers at the moment. I have been tagged by Reed  (thank you Reed), so here is my contribution.
Total Number of Books Owned
Hmm….not sure! Lots - but not as many as Reed! The bookshelves in our house are full to the grim, as my mum would say. The shelves [...]

From one librarian to another

Those of you who are regular devourers of material on the blogosphere may remember the recent and possibly continuing meme doing the rounds, where other bloggers have taken the opportunity to ask fellow bloggers some questions about themselves. Following on from Reed’s  interviewing of the Singing Librarian, I decided to ask the Singing Librarian if he would be kind enough to ask me some questions. [...]

Jumping on the bookwagon

Sorry, but I couldn’t resist joining The Singing Librarian, Reed and Helen in ‘meming’ this list of books. Having done it, I’m now appalled at how many books I’ve never heard of, and how many I haven’t yet read! If you would like to join in follow the instructions below:
 Look at the list of books [...]

A little meme

Here is a little meme courtesy of Helen (thank you). I liked it because of the brevity of the answers you have to give – you can only answer with one word and no explanations. I thought it would be a challenge for me not to waffle for a change! Anyway, here it is…
Yourself: Vague
Your partner: Affectionate
Your hair: Long
Your [...]
