Little Lent Notice

This doesn’t really concern the blog as such, but if you are following me on Twitter, just to let you know that I am going on my annual Twitter retreat from tomorrow. Lent always provides that opportunity. Not that I am religious in any shape or form; I just like the handy timeframe provided by…

Let’s Talk About… #TheStranger – Episode 1

My annual social media Lent is coming up. From Ash Wednesday I will abstain from Twitter for the next 6 and a half weeks (until Easter Sunday), allowing me to recalibrate a little and concentrate on other things. Such as my blog – or RAnet. That means I need blog fodder. Almost four weeks have…

2020 Armitage Weekly Round-up #7

The great thing about missing a round-up? That is catching up with double the fun the next week! Hello and sorry for the radio silence. You know me… once out of step, Guylty finds it hard to commit to coming back. Commitment issues, yeah right. Having said that – the reason I didn’t post last…

RAnet Has Relaunched

Our new baby is here! From my first tentative and spontaneous question to Ali re. rescuing the site (1 November), via the hand-over (25 November) and the developers starting work after our fundraiser in early December, Richardarmitagenet soft-launched in early January. Looking back, I am amazed how fast it all went – three months from…

What a Donation!

A big thank you to Storm Ciara! After quite an odyssey, I received two packages yesterday that had been travelling for far too long. One was happy mail for my own pleasure, containing lots of bits and pieces for crafting with gorgeous Tim Holtz ephemera and super cute charms and stickers. My hoarder instincts are…

#FlatRichie Braved the Storm in France

It’s been a windy weekend. But Flat Richie sat it out over on the continent, well looked after and entertained by Squirrel who has hosted him for the last week. Befitting for Flat Richie’s last holiday before he returns to me, Squirrel pulled out all the stops and took him on a big excursion. She…

It’s Good to Be Green

Green is not my favourite colour, but I am fond of it because it is associated with my chosen country, Ireland. And maybe I am also fond of it because it looks lush and soft on this: That session in New York with An Le has yielded lots of yum. And this is very nice,…

2020 Armitage Weekly Round-up #6

Today is a special day for me. After a month of moving old chests, dusting in dark corners, sawing wood, painting walls, drilling holes, sorting and tidying – and then stalling because sometimes even a self-induced change is somewhat overwhelming – I am finally moving my laptop to my new office/workspace. I have taken all…

Fan Service: Translation from “Heute” Interview with RA

Just a quick note today. I just read an interview with Richard Armitage in Austrian online mag Heute. You can find the German language interview HERE. It’s preceded by a little photo slide show that just gives a few pieces of info about The Lodge having premiered at Sundance, shows his co-stars and mentions some of his…
