welcome
Letterpress printer, bookbinder, book-arts teacher, designer, daydreamer. Also mother, wife, cat-owner and dreadfully slack friend and relative. I live in Canberra, Australia. You'll read about any and all of these things, in no particular order. Enjoy! (Serving suggestion only.)
a note for printers
At work I print on a Graphix cylinder proofing press and a small Korrex cylinder proofing press. At my studio I have a Vandercook SP-20 under renovation and a couple of tabletop Adanas. If you've always wanted to find a manual for the SP-20, mine is downloadable here.

What day is it today?
booky goodness
selected cast
Best Beloved (BB): husband, does. not. read. blog., loves to cook, wants to be Ricky Gervais in the next life.
Bumblebee: 14, head-spinning into puberty, transfixed by mirrors or any shiny surface, wants to be David Tennant in his next life, or possibly George Lucas.
Mr Padge: fat cat, likes to bury his head in armpits, inner elbows, backs of knees. Purrs loudly. Now available with special curly tail!
Mr Pooter: thin cat. Evil genius. Purrs softly but digs in a sharp claw at the same time. In his next life he wants to be both President and Prime Minister of Russia.
Colonel & Lady Duck: tree-change retirees living in the glorious deep south of NSW with some chooks, a handful of sheep and a very weird dog.

Ah, so it was words like that wot got me beat last year on Boxing Day. What is it with you guys and Christmas scrabble?
I think it's more to do with the alcohol consumed than the season :)
Looks like my kind of scrabble! Hope the carpet cleans up well. You should be ashamed of yourselves for keeping poor Mr Padge awake so late with your carousing...
;)
Looks like a wonderful evening. I love that Mr Padge has a zip-top head when he yawns (and what ad did I get that phrase from).
Man, I'm sorry I missed it, I love your scrab words, especially on the first board...hopefully next time you invite me, I won't be coughing up green stuff.
"They got so drunk they forgot to feed me. So now I'm going to eat this chair"?
Lovely essay. Particularly enjoyed the salt on the carpet, and Padge.
Ha ha - this is a hoot to stumble on the night before the morning after. Thanks for the chuckle
I'm thinking that after a bottle or two of fine red ... that Scrabble board makesh purfect sensh.
