G'day all! I was asked by the lovely (if a wee bit mad) Lynz  to participate in the current blog hop doing the rounds.  Of course I said yes, and then just as easily misunderstood when I was supposed to post by!  LOL So I'm Lynne, I'm really good at missing deadlines unless they involve harsh government penalties, and I like making things.  I live in Seattle in the Pacific Northwest of the USA but I don't come from here.  I like to tease people who say "I hear an accent" by saying "I hear you also have an accent".  Of course I have an accent, everyone has an accent, but mine's Australian and in particular Melburnian.  I knit, I spin, I quilt, I garden, I like going for walks and taking photographs of things (but not people, I'll explain later), I like riding my bicycle, going for drives (going for a drive a bit later on, will be grand!).  I've been known to bead, paint (walls!  prettily!) and do woodworking.  And I love colour! ...

G'day all! Good things have been happening in the last day. I found the missing pin that I dropped the other day. Why yes, it was stuck in my foot but at least I know it won't bite me some time in the future! I found my lost Lenore! She has been missing for many many months. I even knitted another unpair of Lenores, the first time I've ever knitted the same sock pattern again. I was digging through one of my bags and voila! There it was! Just to show you that I do have two Lenores in their original colourway, I give you: (the newly returned one is in the lingerie bag waiting to be washed) Just to prove it, and see? Two! Two blurry socks! It is a bit hard to see that one is shorter than the other but it is. More good things: * I am almost completely packed and ready to go to Black Sheep. * I can walk (with the ankle brace for back up - I took it off to shower and it was scared the whole time. It has a pretty bruise and swelling under the ankle bone). I won'...

G'day all! Everyone else is doing this, so why not me? I have some medical limitations to the sorts of foods I can have but if there is a GF/DF version I either have eaten it or would eat it, mostly. Except maybe not fugu and certainly not coffee and I'm not keen on bleeding meat either. So I'll put a GF/DF next to it if I am willing to give it a go in a form that won't give me problems for days! 1. Venison 2. Nettle tea 3. Huevos rancheros - it's just eggs and stuff - looks yummy when DH has it. GF/DF 4. Steak tartare ARGH! Raw meat! NO WAY! Can't stand bleeding meat. 5. Crocodile 6. Black pudding 7. Cheese fondue 8. Carp 9. Borscht 10. Baba ghanoush 11. Calamari 12. Pho (not too keen on raw meat but the soup should cook it a bit) 13. PB&J sandwich (GF and DF though) 14. Aloo gobi 15. Hot dog from a street cart 16. Epoisses I'd guess a pongy cow's milk cheese won't appeal even if it was GF 17. Black truffle 18. Fruit wine made from so...
