Make Mine a Large One...

Something very satisfying about making a giant slice of lemon, specially when it passes close inspection. It also survived the rain- it is skewered in place on top of a giant portion of fish and chips and was left outside over night. Now the thing about N.Ireland weather is that it can give you a false sence of security and with all this lovely weather we had for a few days we think hooray the summers here. Well it was there then it left but I think it's thinking about coming back again soon - unfinished business. Anyway we left the float out thinking it'll be fine, grand it will be but no, no, no, no, no, no, sopping, sodding wet it was next morning and still the rain fell. However the lemon is made of anti aqua stuff and survives to crown the big wet fish, like a beacon of lemoniness - what i wish i could do is make it swival continuously in a automated way, but I'm not that clever.

My Voodoo Doll

CYRIL

This here is Cyril his my trusty voodoo doll well was - i donated him to a tv show because he was meant for bigger things than hanging about with me as I tried to figure out how to play forbidden siren. His coffee making skills were a bit ropey too. No Cyril needs the constant attention of a PA and I'm just not cut out for it. (Plus he can't hold his drink if you know what I mean!) So to the bright lights and heady world of BBC NI he went. I think of him often and wonder how he's doing - I tried to contact him, but he moves in very different circles now, doesn't return my calls.If you ever get the rare but priviledged opportunity of coming across Cyril give him my best.

OK here goes

I make stuff like this beanstalk for a living and yes i'm wearing it!


This is quite scary cos I'm crap at
1. technology
2. keeping things like this up to date, and
3. being interesting.

I've decided to do this as i've been mesmerised by several random strangers bloggs plus a couple of me mates are at it, bloggsites that is.

So hopefully I'll get the hang of this milarky quite pleased that i managed to get the picture sorted not 100 % sure quite how I did it but there you go.

I'm going to get a coffee now and sit out in the sun that comes so rarely to our n.ireland shores as I'm currently enjoying a day off making stuff.
