Here is Nils Olav inspecting the Norwegian King’s Guard, of whom he is the Colonel-in-Chief. On this particular occasion, he had just been made Sir Nils Olav – being, as the King of Norway said, “in every way qualified to receive the honour and dignity of knighthood”.
Making Both Ends Wool
(a rather more animal-friendly approach than making both ends meat.)
With the approach of winter, my efforts to insulate myself with wool have stepped up. Recently off the needles: a pair of socks and the Zipfelmuetzen Bommelschal hat!
But there is an issue with these yur socks.
Exciting News!
My thanks to you all! Restoration Day has made it onto the final ballot for the 2019 Sir Julius Vogel Award for Best Novel!
And to my great surprise, I have also been nominated for Best New Talent – my thanks to whoever thought that up; you know you you are (even if I don’t).
