this hassock isn't patterned but is doing a great job angling jane's marshall amp at her at church last sunday.  it's a roadie hassock on a mission from God.

wild weather at sea as experienced recently around britain.

which reminds me - i am simply loving the shipping forecast on the way to work in the morning.  My alarm clock is fast and gets faster by about 5 minutes every month.  As a result i'm waking up at about 4.55am at the moment and am in my car heading to work around 5.15am.  for the first 10 minutes i listen to the shipping forecast which is simply lovely.  An example is ' Forties Cromarty Forth Tyne Dogger.  Southwest backing south. gale 8 to storm 10, veering west, severe gale 9 to violent storm 11. Rain, then squally showers. Poor, becoming moderate.' 

They also say things like 'rough perhaps violent storm' at the end.  i love the vagueness of that. you want more than 'perhaps' from experts.

read the latest reports here, although you really have to hear it to love it.

i wonder if for the modern age they should also do a shopping forecast giving reviews of shopping centres:
"meadowhall, blue water, northerly traffic queues.  sales on. bargains possible.  frustration mild to strong, perhaps unbearable"

or perhaps a sipping forecast:
"tea. strong. white. sugars 2, becoming sweeter.  perhaps tepid".

hassock and fancy shoe

here's a very special hassock of the week.  it was made by my mum when we were little.  it was from a kit i think.  i found the photo yesterday in a big pile of family photos which jane kindly extracted from the loft, and the memories came flooding back.  i wonder where this hassock is now - probably where it was back then.

this week's hassock of the week is quite special as it's from the ascension memorial church ipswich massachusetts. before you panic that i've spent the funkypancake travel budget on a trip to massachusetts to take a picture of a hassock, i didn't. i took the photo in a church in ipswich, england.

i think i've tracked down the ascension memorial church though. it's here. interesting rotating pictures on the front page, especially the one which shows a girls coat glowing with holiness
