Time to read: 4 minutes I know it doesn’t look appetising, but trust me, it was delicious. Squid ink pasta, rocket pesto, salmon, tomatoes, mint. This is how my flatmate and I came up with the recipe… And how you can repeat it at home! One sunny Saturday, I was working at home (on a personal project, don’t freak out) […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute I want to make a dress to wear to a friend’s wedding this weekend. Yes. This weekend. In 5 days. I’m not sure I’ll manage, but my sketchbook looks more optimistic. I have the fabric, the zip, the matching thread and the dress idea. Alas, mother says the (terrible anyway) sewing machine we have here […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutes I still remember walking around Hursley, following a fellow tweep who wanted to introduce me to some awesome IBMers he knew. What i did not expect, was for him to use my twitter handle, @eurydice13, as part of the introduction. I am grateful, because by finding me on twitter he may have literally saved my […] continue reading »

Time to read: 2 minutes I have just started working as a freelancer, and intend to continue blogging and expanding my knowledge. Sadly, both of these pursuits, while extremely pleasant, are lucrative for amazon and bring me nothing more than joy. So I’ve decided, a bit belatedly, to add a paypal “donate” button to my blog for anyone who would […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute A sketch for a handbag inspired by Longchamp’s simple pliage “H” base pattern. Carries laptop in the centre, notebook, kindle, ipad in the “back”, and cables and other tidbits in the front. Handles would be wide for comfort. Longchamp’s laptop bags, to my surprise, value aesthetics over usability and persist in having stringy painful straps. […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes I’m tired of my current business cards, because they have nothing to do with business. I have had moo minicards for a good 3 or 4 years. On them, i share my mobile numbers in the UK and Greece (i don’t fancy printing two versions), website URL, twitter handle, email, and my name. Nothing about […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes This is probably one of the hardest reviews I’ve had to write. Because, ultimately, while the food was pretty good, I don’t think I’d recommend the place, nor would I go back. Why not? A bit too disjoint and French. We are greeted by a lovely guy in a doorway. I’d already heard about going […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute New goal: post a sneak photo of what went on in my sketchbook the previous week. Today, a simple unpolished sketch of various items that I carry with me every day. They don’t actually fit in the tiny handbag featured. And that’s part of the point of this sketch, to visualise how much stuff I […] continue reading »
