Be afraid, be very afraid!

Its always nice to know workers have the utmost support of their employers.  This is where this government leads by example................http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/jul/30/public-sector-jobs-oliver-letwin
And there was me thinking Oliver Letwin was a public sector worker as his MP's salary is funded by the State.  So here is hoping Oliver himself is able to recognise his own need for "fear and discipline".

As I get used to blogging, I hope to include on here book reviews, site reviews, podcast reviews type content. Any ideas or contributions for this section will be welcome

Podcast of the Week Review:
Caithness Craft Collective is my favourite podcast, having a good mix of crafts content, mixed with articles about Scotland, and an essay type article on varying topics.  Louise the presenter has a nice style of presentation with humour and no nonsense approach.  This is the link http://caithnesscraftcollective.podbean.com. 
Louise also has an active group on Ravelry, and is on Twitter.

Weird Aint the Word

This is the first posting of this blog, and I envisage that postings will be somewhat erratic. Although it is an intent to cover mainly craft related topics, there will also be mentions of other topics that I find amusing, interesting etc.
So for my first foray into blogging I have gone for something weird:-
Taste in books is subjective I know.  But one has to wonder what motivates people to write books on certain topics.  Check out these oddities http://www.abebooks.com/books/weird/index.shtml.  And do let me know if any of these titles are on your bookshelf.
