i blame my mum for my sudden obssession with Northern Exposure an American Drama/Comdey TV show from the mid-90s set in Cicely, Alaska. She had the great idea of buy the 1st season DVD for my Dad. so we all watched a few episodes. quite amusing. but my mistake was going to the vic park library and discovering that they have seasons 2, 3 , 4, 5 (?).... so i've finished watching season 2, and now i have 23 episodes in season 3! and the great thing is that Flo is at work this weekend! hoorah - more dvd watching time..... :)

on a more productive note, i have finally gotten round to making some gingerbread biscuit dough, so that i can test out my new ABC cutters (this will be explained later). i now have to wait 24hrs for the dough to have a party in the fridge. THis is something strange to ginger cakes and biscuits - they need time to develop. There is a fantastic 2 Fat Ladies recipe for ginger cake, and I made some for my granny but i never got a chance to taste it as you have to let it sit for about 3 days before you eat it. mmmm, stale cake?

oh, and before i forget i have 3 months work with my favorite place I have worked for so far! it's full time, but its money which is the main thing. i'll just have to motivate myself to do sewing on weekends and after work. i think i can do that!

here are a few shots from NYE and just general life in the west:

Flo's new purchase:


we probably spent about an 45min to an hour at the music shop looking at guitar amps. something i hadn't really thought about before: each amp has a very different sound. so we tried out 4 or 5 amps before this one. we hadn't actually set off to buy an amp, just to look but the moment he started playing this amp you could see in his eyes that he needed to have it. i can relate to that, like i sure almost all of us can!
