I love my Old Bag

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 06:00:00 +0100

No really, I love my Old Bag from The Old Bag Company. I bought it at a horse event, I can't remember which now (maybe Badminton). It looks cool, it has lots of pockets and even has a message inside from the kids of the Old Bag team. Best of all i...

Chande-love

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 06:00:00 +0100

So I was sitting in this little coffee shop in the middle of deepest, darkest Somerset. You know the kind of place. The one that sells antiques amongst new junk, and serves tea and cake while you are seated on furniture you can actually buy. (And ...

I love Emma Bridgewater Stationery

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:36:03 +0100

I need to have nice stationery to write. That might sound stupid and superficial and completely ridiculous, however it is true. It is a habit that has remained with me from school and much as I have tried to deny it, no amount of boring lined note...

Characters that won't behave

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:41:36 +0100

Does anyone else have issues with characters that won't behave? My characters in my current story just won't stick to the script. They are very keen on showing me the way that they feel the story should go. I've given up fighting them. If that's t...

Why I'm not excited about Facebook Vanity URLs

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:33:16 +0100

So there is all this hype, and apparently we are all going to be sitting at our computers (at 5.01am for us here in the UK) waiting to choose our very own Facebook url. Maybe we'll be so nervous we'll be hitting the refresh button over and over, ...

Gravity: Twitter App for S60 phones

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:25:08 +0100

I've always needed Twitter to be mobile for me to use it. It's what drew me to it in the first place. I am not always able to get to a computer and these days I can even blog from my phone. When Twitter texts were shut off while they tried to sor...

Cake Baking, the unconventional way

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Sun, 24 May 2009 14:51:43 +0100

About midweek last week I needed a cake. I had cake mix but only half of the actual enthusiasm needed to make it (yes I am aware using cake mix is not real baking but cut me some slack here), so I called in reinforcements in the form of A. She cam...

Frost and sunshine

nobody@vox.com(sorayaleila) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 11:10:00 +0000

Good morning all. I woke up this morning to find everything coated in frost. And I had such a beautiful, and dare I say it 'uplifting' walk with the dog I thought I should share some of it with you. Pass it forward and all that. Here are a couple...
