There is a Professor outside my office
and he is introducing his guest to a colleague.

She is small, beautifully dressed
and she wants to study yarn bombing.

I think to myself...
I am so lucky to work
in such an amazing Department...
but if I don't write about it
no-one else will know

so...
here I go again.

  2. i second it:
    Yay!!
    though i must also add that i've had great fun reading through your first blog. Knocked down by a stomach bug for several days, i needed a comforting escape, and catching up with you has been a wonderful treat.

  6. So you're back. I was at the point of sending you a pleading email. Now I shall do cat-wise and sulk for a few days.......

  7. Hurrah, hurrah, you're back.

    I am very ignorant about yarn bombing though. Perhaps I should come to study it too.

  8. I second third and fourth above comments. You were missed.

    I missed your "Little comforts" and the fact someone can actually study Yarn Bobbing is very comforting indeed.

  10. It was so kind of you to schedule your break for the week that my laptop broke - it was such a relief to realise that I hadn't missed too much. Nice to have you back,x

  11. What on earth is yarn bombing?

  12. Excellent. Yarn Bombing? Is this something I need to fear?

  13. This is amazing, and you are lucky. We've had some yarnbombing, too, but I think you actually need a whole lot of it, as, apparently in that picture, for it to make a very effective statement. Otherwise it just looks kind of ad hoc and ratty. Feel free to forward my opinions to your scholar --

  14. I am with Coffee Lady: as in I have no clue as to what yarn bombing is.
    But I am glad to see you back, even if I owe it to yarn bombing for your return.

  16. Wonderful to have you back. I can stop worrying about you now! Yarn bombing sounds fantastic - much more my sort of thing than paint balling..... Bobby x

  17. I knew you would not be gone terribly long. It was the "ish" trailing on the end of your soon that did occasionally make me nervous. I missed you.

  18. And when she wants to stage some practical yarn bombing experiments, you'll be the perfect recruiter!
