Finders Keepers…

So I woke to discover a wonderful tribute left on the table for me… I may have enjoyed a few more than I meant…

A stitch in time…

Kateri — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 22:16:57 +0000

It’s the centenary of International Women’s day on the 8th of March and to mark it a project has been created to knit 100 million stitches (to represent the missing women in our society) . To achieve this they have challenge us (the general public) to knit a 6 inch square.

That sounds like a simple task. It would be if I could knit. I can’t. I tried once before in primary school, I managed but it wasn’t pretty then. So armed with a mother in-law who can knit, a certain polar bear, needles and ball of wool I tried again.I managed (mostly thanks to her casting on and off for me). It took about 5 hours to manage the 6 inches square. It’s not perfect I seemed to pick up stitches with gay abandon averaging at a 34 stitches in a row instead of the 28 I started with. That and I managed to create random holes – not dropped stitches just random holes. Anyway I managed and though it is far from perfect it is ‘made with love’.

King Dumbledore is a Winner

Greeting loyal minions,

It has been a while since I last graced you with one’s Royal musings but one has found oneself too busy with important matters of state to find the time. I am now enjoying a Royal holiday on my own personal island.

Maggie (a local minion) suggested I try my paw at using the ‘Wii’. First I had to create a account.

Apparently Polar Bears don’t usually play so I had to make do with options available (I will be getting someone to write a letter of complaint to the makers of this ‘wii’ over this ridiculous oversight). Still I look rather dashing even when slumming it as a minion.Next it was time to play. Maggie suggested Mario Cart.

She claimed she was has talent at this game and would show me how to play but I won every race right from the start.

Clearly she is deluded over her talent at the game, when I pointed this out she seemed rather upset but one patiently explained that after all one is King. So naturally superior to her in every way.

My favourite circuits were the snowy ones (particularly the one with penguins) – here is me mastering DK’s Snowboarding track.So ultimately I ruled and Maggie drooled (Kateri says it was more crying than drooling but if so I think it was tears of joy at witnessing such greatness). Don’t worry minions once she stopped crying I let her have one of the Royal chocolate coins to show her what a wonderful and benevolent King I really am.

Your benevolent and mighty ruler,

King Dumbledore

Christmas Cake

Sister made Tom a Christmas cake and one for my folks.

Also in the photo is Loelia one of the travelling bears from my Senior Section Lones unit. She is modelling the lovely apron one of the girls made for her.

Let it snow

It may come as no surprise that a burst of blogging links directly to my free time and today it’s my third snow day so I’m catching up. It is serious winter wonderland outside. The school is shut until Monday so I’m catching up on lots of things!

The bears are a pair of travelling bears and are part of unit fun for my Lone Senior Section. You can see how deep it is by the bins in the background. The bears are at least 18 inches off the ground – it is well deeper than my wellies already and the snow is still falling…

Legoland rocks!

I went down to Legoland with friends this week and it was great. Even better I saw Lego versions of my favourite things!

Expenses

Kateri — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:33:00 +0000

My loyal minions.

I know I have been quiet and have not regaled you with the tales from my royal household. This is merely due to some serious issues I have had to address. I have had to investigate some illegal expenses claims made by my representatives. It appears that my loyal team have been siphoning off extra chocolate biscuits and brownies from the royal mint to have with their “second breakfast” I can assure you there will be no more flagrant abuse of my chocolate accounting procedures.

Having now resolved that issue. I have embarked on my Royal Summer Tour of 2009 with three of my most loyal minions. I believe there will be chocolate cake in my honour on Friday (one of the minions has requested one for me specially on her birthday) and then we will be touring this fine nation. No chocolate shop shall go unsullied.

Your benevolent and mighty ruler,

King Dumbledore

Dispatches

Kateri — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:45:00 +0000

My normal minions have gone on a scouting mission to Wisconsin. I have heard tell that the one named Palin is no longer a possible threat to my polar bear brethren but I felt that I needed first hand evidence that the believer Obama truly is the “ruler” of the United States (obviously I am supreme ruler of all the known universe but I cannot deal with the nitty gritty so I allow those mere humans to play the game of “politics”.)

Since I would not wish to fend for myself for this time I have come to the safe haven that is my second most loyal minions. They treat me with great respect. They have even purchased rather fetching carrying devices, matching ones too. Not sure I care for the colour but I must admit I can be seen in a crowd which suits me just fine.
