Mystery of the Missing Photos

I have just realised that quite a few of my older posts are missing photographs. Instead there are big white rectangles with a tiny image of a teeny tiny picture with the corner broken off.

The pictures are broken.

Imagine it... a big white space...















Then me writing something like "Isn't that picture gorgeous! I love it!"

Something is missing... and it may take some time to fix. I apologise to visitors and regular readers for the unprettyness.

Fibonacci Blogging

This post is a testament to my strangeness.

The other day, while in the shower, I realised that I've been so slack with blogging this year that I've only done one post per month so far. I thought, Hey, that's sort of interesting! I should blog about it! Only, straight away I realised that posting about it would ruin - utterly devastate! - my blogging pattern. BUT THEN!! I remembered the Fibonacci Sequence! You know the one:


0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34... and so on. 

The pattern is formed by adding two numbers together to find the next number (i.e 1+1=2).


Totally worth clicking through to see the whole post this image is from.


Immediately, I'm thinking how cool it would be to blog this year according to this sequence (oh dear... nerdy me is emerging!) and I started adding up numbers to figure out how much I'd have to blog each month. As you've probably realised already , once you get to the ninth month (as I skipped the zero), that starts getting a bit ridiculous! THIRTY-FOUR posts in ONE MONTH? Yeah, that's not gonna happen!

So yeah... normal, sporadic blogging will randomly continue in this part of the world wide web... 

But to make up for that, here's a link to free Fibonacci-inspired patterns (knitting and crochet) (you have be a member of Ravelry to be able to see them).

Also!!!! I've finally uploaded pics of my last couple of knitting/crochet projects so my next post WILL be about that. Full stop.

African Animals

*** For some reason this post is making my blog behave strangely! Clicking on "older posts" (below this post) will take you to the next page, on which everything is normal... strange, ey.***

For many, many months I've been haunting the webcams of a South African wildlife park.

There are four cameras and they update every 30 seconds. I see birds a lot, but I've FINALLY seen animals. FIVE species, in fact! I'm just so excited!!!

Stripy Antelope! I think the proper name for them is "Nyala". There were more of them but I didn't manage to get a picture.

WARTHOG!!! OH MY GOSH SO EXCITED!!!!


There were also Wildebeest, a whole herd of them drinking, a deer of some type (shown below) and a HUGE bull, a cape buffalo, I believe. Blogspot, however, spat the dummy and I lost the awesome pics I had. :(
Do you know what this is?
ETA: Also... elephants! I didn't see these myself, someone else saved it to the forums. Totally awesome!
