Hats

It looks like for the most part, people think birds need hats.

There's an exhibit on now at the V&A on Hats for people - see more info here.

Can I tell you a secret?

Everyone has a secret. Even softies. Here are a few that I've uncovered recently.

Can I tell you a secret?
I just auditioned for the remake of "Watership Down the Musical" ... I think i have a good chance -- I sang "I Love a Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbit.

I just ate a fly. She was my friend. But I got hungry.

Can I tell you a secret?
See the cool hat I'm wearing that says 'XTRA'....I stole it from my local Target store - it was next to the empty rack of Orla Kiely housewares...I was mad that that stuff was totally sold out so fast, so I just took the damn hat! Don't I look cute though?!

The Restorative Nature of Crochet

Did you see this news story about the Italian earthquake? A 98 year old woman was trapped for 30 hours and when rescued, said she had passed the time crocheting!

The 98-year-old villager, from Tempera, near L'Aquila, yesterday became one of the latest survivors to be dragged from the rubble left by Monday's devastating earthquake in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. For 30 interminable hours, she lay below the ruins of her house, a few miles from the epicentre.

So what did she do to while away the time, not knowing whether she would live or die as rescue workers dug towards her? The answer, it seems, was "crochet". (via The Guardian)
