4 Years!
It’s a Blogversary! And for once, I remembered (OK. I put a little reminder in my calendar. However, bearing in mind currently levels of forgetfulness – today, I left the laptop at home – I do not feel that’s cheating in any way, shape, or form).
I believe, sometimes, particularly in knitting blog land, it is traditional to have a little bit of a competition. So. Leave a comment, and I’ll pick one randomly, and the winner will receive some London related souvenir from the little market stall round the corner (two corners, to be accurate) from my flat. If you are a yarny type, there may well be yarn too. If you are a non yarny type, and live in the appropriate climate, I might just knit you a hat (but I need your head circumference). If you do not live in the appropriate climate, I’ll think of something. You have until midday BST Sunday 22nd June.
In the meantime. Grass. Post-trim: I should have taken a picture last night, when everything was more or less the same lenght. However, I was too busy trying to remove the grass from my notebook before rushing off out to a campfire. Everything came home smelling authentically smokey. Jo sniffed my Guider’s top to check. It was a jolly good campfire. Much fire. Sausages. Marshmallows. Songs: including some I hadn’t sung since I was a Guide. An Austrian went a yodelling! Somehow, got roped into leading my favourite, “Marilyn Monroe”, which I evidently looked unsure about, as several people immediately volunteered moral support…My hair still smells of smoke, and this, although unusual for the office, is a good thing. My boss is not in, however, and will not be benefitting. He somehow pulled a ligament in his ankle in his sleep. The mind, frankly, boggles.Oh, and my CO (Carbon Monoxide) detector has apparently reached the end of its life, and has been beeping every minute to tell us about it. We eventually stuffed the speaker with blu-tack, and stuck it in a wellie in the hall cupboard to smother the din. I must get another. This is terribly important.

Congrats on your Blogiversary! I love reading about your life, and trying to translate it into “States” language.
Congratulations on your Blogiversary!
Ooooh! Enter me in your competition! The idea of a London-related souvenir from the little market stall around two corners from your flat is wonderful!
I am a yarny type and like blues, lavenders and purples. Something Dr. Who related would be fabulous!
I have no idea what they have at the market stall, so this may all be totally inappropriate (although in “The Empty Child” Jack and Rose dance next to Big Ben, which also appears in another episode).
Four years of blogging! Wow! You were one of the people who got me interested in blogging.
I love having a little peek at life in London. And, by the way, you looked fabulous in that dress at the ball!
I want to know where you got the grass. I could use some livelihood in my office. Knitting someone a hat! What a great idea! That’s definitely more thoughtful than just a souvenir. =)
happy xangaversary. sorry I missed it. growing grass is illegal here, i think.
Congratulations sweetie and no need to send me anything. I am happy enough that you are my friend. Ick that sounds a bit vomit inducing but you know what I mean. Hugs. H
Awww, I missed your Blogversary! Sorry! I shall probably end up missing my own, too (five years next month – eek!)
A very merry unbirthday! And un-blogiversary now…..(since I’m late, I mean) I don’t think I need anything from a little Camden stall; since I could walk up the street for myself
Here’s to the next mumble-ty blogging years!

Sorry I’m late in wishing you a Happy Blogiversary. I wasn’t following my subscription posts closely while I was on holiday, but now I’m home and keeping up, sort of.
