Book Reviews
The Freelance Introvert by Tom Albrighton
For someone starting out on a new venture (like me!) this is a useful book filled with guidance and reassurance. Even as an introvert (although myself I am an ambivert – a bit of both) you can build a solo freelance career doing what you love.
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker
Very similar to the movie. I perhaps expected a little more graphic detail in the prose. But still a good read.
Mosquito Man by Jeremy Bates
3/5 stars. This novel presents a mystery which is similar to the mothman legend. A man with a mysterious past brings his wife and children back to his old home in a backwoods cabin.
Encounter in Rendlesham Forest by Nick Pope
True story. Candid and matter of fact. The best and most intriguing UFO encounter documented. Bigger than Roswell. And right here in the UK.

Crafts
Cat in Stitches Crochet Jumper Project
This pattern is deceptively simple! I used a 3 colour stripe, plus a red cat motif over the heart. Pattern by Jennifer Elenbaas on Ravelry.

Knitted Socks Obsession!
For the last few years now whenever I have maybe one ball of yarn left over from a project, or simply scraps, I make yet another pair of socks!

This velvet yarn is so comfortable and warm, that I have been completely living in this cardigan ever since I finished it!

The annual comic-con event took place in Kensington Olympia between the 27th and 29th July 2018. I only attended on the Friday, the 27th July – which also happened to be my birthday! It also meant that I missed out on most of the big name celebrity guest attendees this year; but for me (on…

In the Shadows – Haiku Poem
Long, looming shadows. Impractical clothing days. Crisp, cold, but sunny. The darkness recedes; ice crystals shrink from the light. Energy transfers. What was once frozen, motionless, impervious. Is restored, set free. The clouds of my mind, hold me captive in winter. But this too shall pass. The warmth of the world, transfers to warmth of…
