Wibbo's Words

Lickley-Dunlop Victorian Family Album

I'm fascinated by vintage photographs and I'm gradually uploading some of my collection to one of my blogs, Archive, along with postcards, documents and other ephemera. 

There's a huge amount of information about vintage photographs online as well as hundreds of images. I found the link to the wonderful Lickley-Dunlop Victorian Family Album on What's That Picture? and thought I'd share it.

Library knitting

Hove Library is hosting a weekly knitting workshop on Thursday mornings from 10 to 12 starting this Thursday, 10 November. Come along and learn how to knit or for help with any knitting queries. If you're already a knitter, bring your knitting and have a natter.

One thousand and eighty

That's the number of photos I've posted on Hove Daily Photo so far - one a day since December 2nd 2008. I originally thought I'd keep HDP going for a year (along the lines of Project 365) but it's gradually become part of daily life and I'm still wandering round Brighton & Hove taking photos.

There are hundreds of other City Daily Photo blogs round the world; you can check out thumbnails of the latest photos at City Daily Photo Portal.

I'm a busy bee

Met up with Steph and Emma (the other Brighton Craft Guerrillas) yesterday and we're beginning to realise how little time we have until the craft market is here. Most of my stuff's done apart from a pile of embroidered and beaded brooch fronts that need the finishing touches, backs and brooch pins added. I may be some time...

Coming in December

I'll be there with Brighton Craft Guerrilla selling my hand dyed yarn, beaded stitch markers and lots of other goodies. Exciting!

Greyness

Overall cloudy and grey today; I hate it. I don't mind cold weather but this dark, gloomy stuff I can do without. There was a brief lifting of cloud earlier but I don't think the brightness is going to last.

Spotty Birks

New Birkenstocks arrived yesterday (for Birk afficionados out there, they're called Papillio Frankfurt and were bought here). My feet are happy.

Don't spend it all at once, Wibbo

That's the £7.30 I won on last night's EuroMillions Lottery draw. Anything is better than nothing, I suppose, but a few extra noughts in there would have been rather good.

There's a lovely sky this morning and the sun is shining. I'm out later to meet friends here (great coffee) and hope the weather holds.

And so we begin...

Well, here we are on the first day of NaBloPoMo. So far, over 700 bloggers have signed up to write a post a day on their blogs throughout November; sign-ups end on November 5 so there's still time to add your blog to the blogroll if you fancy having a go.

One post down, 29 to go ;o)
