Slipknot + 'I Will Survive' Mashup Imagines Corey Taylor as a Disco Singer
Philip Trapp Published: July 7, 2021
YouTube: Slipknot / Music of All Times
Slipknot and disco? It's hard to imagine those two words have ever come together before.
Still, an inventive online creator recently took the vocals from Slipknot's .5: The Gray Chapter single "The Devil in I" and mixed them with Gloria Gaynor's empowering 1978 disco hit "I Will Survive" to create a mashup that imagines Slipknot's Corey Taylor as somewhat of an angry disco singer. Can you dig it?
After all, it seems like Slipknot songs often get turned into pop-driven mashups by fans of the masked metal band — it's almost as if the group's tunes lend themselves to such rearrangements. To that end, the so-called "Devil Will Survive" mashup by SoundCloud user DYNAMIKE is a prime example.
The creator even takes the project one step further by conjuring the imaginary performer who would sing "Devil Will Survive" for what would surely be a transfixed group of listeners. Calling the made-up artist "Coria Taynor," a portmanteau of Taylor and Gaynor's names, the digital cover art of the mashup superimposes Slipknot guitar Mick Thomson's imposing stage mask over a photo of Gaynor's visage.
Slipknot's latest album, We Are Not Your Kind, came out in 2019. Currently, the act is preparing to depart on their first concert tour since the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to stop touring in 2020. Last month, Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan said the band aims to have a new album out this year; the percussionist has also released several solo songs as of late.
Listen to the Slipknot and Gaynor mashup below.

Norway wins spot in handball finals
Fans were crying with joy from the grandstands in Paris to living rooms at home in Norway, and tears were shed among players and coaches alike: For the first time ever, Norway's men's handball team had made it to the semi-finals of the world championships, and then they won.
Christian Berge, head coach for Norway's national men's handball team, reacts with joy after Norway won its semi-final match against Croatia at the world championships in Paris Friday night. PHOTO: TV2 screen grab
As if that wasn't enough, their victory was over the powerhouse handball team from Croatia, which will now play against Slovenia for the bronze medal. Norway, meanwhile, is assured silver and will now battle for gold against the home-town favorite, France on Sunday.
"This is my biggest dream, to experience this with the national team," the team's clearly moved captain Bjarte Myrhol told TV2 after having spent quite a while running around the floor of the arena in ecstasy with his teammates. "It can't even be described, this is the greatest thing you can experience as a handball player, and here in France! It's magical."
An emotional team captain Bjarte Myrhol savours the moment after beating Croatia 28-25 and winning a spot in the final match of the world championships, against France. PHOTO: TV2 screen grab
Myrhol said he'd had his family in his thoughts during the day: "I had a drawing with me that my son had made, of me wearing a medal, and now it will be hung up in the living room at home."
Myrhol was the top Norwegian scorer in the match, with six goals. Norway's goalkeeper Torbjørn Bergerud was also a hero Friday night, after fending off several attempted goals by the Croatians and then the most important of all: An attempted goal after a penalty against the Norwegians in the final seconds of ordinary time.
Goalkeeper Torbjørn Bergerud was widely credited with preventing a Croatian victory by fending off a penalty goal when the score was tied 22-22 in the final seconds of ordinary time. That sent both sides into overtime, and the Norwegians ultimately to victory. PHOTO: TV2 screen grab
"It's him (Bergerud) we can thank for this here," Myrhol said live on TV2, which had carried coverage of the Handball World Championships from France. "This was a team victory, but we've had to have someone outstanding to get to the final, and we have him." The match was tied, with the score 22-22, when Bergerud saved the day by preventing a Croatian victory and sending the two sides into two extra five-minute periods that ended with the Norwegians' historic winning score of 28 against the Croatians' 25.
That initial tie illustrated how close and dramatic the match was, especially in what should have been the final 10 minutes. "I like those situations, when I have everything to win," Bergerud said. "It was just crazy."
The Norwegians had gotten off to a rocky start, and didn't score for more than eight minutes in the otherwise fast-paced game. They recovered, though, and after 17 minutes, the score was tied 6-6. By the time the break came around, Norway was in the lead by a score of 12-10. As Bergerud told TV2, "we just run and run as much as we can."
The team's highly respected head coach Christian Berge was among those crying with joy when it was all over. "The boys did a fantastic job," Berge told TV2, admitting that he hadn't dared to watch the penalty drama that played a critical role in sending Norway to the finals. "But this was really fun."

Google, Qualcomm, And Nokia Bet HMD Global Makes Your First 5G Phone
By Chris Burns/Aug. 11, 2020 12:23 pm EST
HMD Global just closed a $230-million dollar investment round with investments from Google, Qualcomm, and Nokia. This makes a whole lot of sense as HMD Global works with Foxconn to create Nokia-branded (brand licensed) Android smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors inside. They've made some pretty decent smartphones over the past few years, and they're on the verge of becoming a premiere player in the "highly affordable smartphones with 5G connectivity" market.
Nokia sold its mobile and devices division to Microsoft in 2013, then in 2016 Microsoft sold its Nokia-branded feature phone business to HMD Global (founded by former Nokia executive Jean-Francois Baril). Nokia (the company) entered into a long-term brand-licensing deal with HMD Global and Foxconn to create phones of all sorts, starting with the Android-based Nokia 6 in early 2017.
The $230 million USD investment is the "first closing of [HMD Global's] current funding round from some of its top global strategic partners."
Per the company's announcement on the investment, funds will be used to "accelerate the company's mission to make 5G smartphones accessible to consumers across the world, with an emphasis on strong partnerships with US carriers."
At the same time, HMD Global suggested they'll "further transition to digital-first offerings as part of a new post-COVID reality."
With this deal, Nokia is monetarily invested in HMD Global for the first time. It would NOT be a shock to find HMD Global and Nokia merge into one single entity at some point in the future.
In recent years Nokia's also taken giant strides toward being a major 5G player around the world. Nokia signed a deal with NTT Docomo in January of 2018 to provide 5G wireless radio base stations in Japan. In January of 2019, the Canadian government announced that they'd be granting $40-million (Canadian) to Nokia for Nokia's research on 5G tech. In June of 2020, Nokia announced a $450 contract with Taiwan Mobile to be the sole supplier to build out the carrier's 5G network.

NCC begins setting up for Carnival
The content originally appeared on: Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
In this file photo, the scaffolding base for the big stage in front of the grand stand of the Queen's Park Savannah is ready for the stage top as preparations conitnue for what is being dubbed the 'Mother of all Carnivals.' – Photo by Sureash Choal
THE National Carnival Commission (NCC) deputy chairman Davlin Thomas said construction of the North Stand is already underway as the commission is setting things in motion for the hosting of this year's carnival.
It was announced last year that the North Stand was making a return after having not been a part of the physical Carnival infrastructure for more than two years.
NCC chairman Winston "Gypsy" Peters then said it had become too expensive to build and dismantle.
On its Facebook page, the commission made the announcements saying, "North Stand, Carnival Village, Kaiso House, the Greens and more (will) make their return to Carnival City, Queen's Park Savannah for the Mother of All Carnivals 2023."
This is not the only change expected for Carnival 2023.
Thomas said this year's festival – scheduled for February 20-21 – will also see the return of the Savannah Greens and park-and-ride.
"It is going to be an engaging Carnival," Thomas said.
More innovations include the commission's e-ticketing system. This year will also see the use of push technology by the commission to help in future target marketing.
Free Internet will also be available at the Queen's Park Savannah and will be provided by one of TT's major providers. Thomas could not say which provider as negotiations were ongoing.
Oxford dictionary defines push technology as a service that allows internet users to keep receiving a particular type of information without having to request it each time.
Ti Colon Resident Held With Illegal Firearm, Ammunition – St. Lucia Times News
This is often used by marketers to directly engage their customers.
Thomas said the Greens will also be available for promoters to rent to host their events.
"From a holistic perspective, the idea of the mother of all Carnivals, is to facilitate as much people as is humanly possible."
Asked what is being put in place to protect people's information while data mining, Thomas said the information shared will be basic information.
He said the chosen provider will give the necessary security.

Отзывы современников
Историк К.В. Хвостова оставила такие воспоминания: «У М.Б. Барга был необычайно широкий творческий диапазон исследовательской деятельности. Аграрные отношения средневековой Англии, рассматриваемые с точки зрения анализа динамики землевладения и положения крестьян; Англия XVII в., история эпох и идей до Нового времени, а также теоретические проблемы исторических исследований. Можно сказать, что интерес к проблемам теории,  философии и методологии истории присутствует во всех работах М.А.Барга... В частности, в своих работах по аграрной истории Англии он предвосхитил некоторые выводы современной теории истории, относящиеся к применению количественных методов в средневековой социально-экономической истории».

Schools of economic thought is a term describing the variety of approaches in the history of economic theory noteworthy enough to be described as a 'school of thought'.
Currently, the great majority of economists follow an approach referred to as mainstream economics (sometimes called 'orthodox economics'). Within the mainstream, distinctions can be made between the Saltwater school (associated with Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale), and the more laissez-faire ideas of the Freshwater school (represented by the Chicago school of economics, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Rochester and the University of Minnesota). Both of these schools are associated with the neoclassical synthesis. Some influential approaches of the past, such as the historical school of economics and institutional economics, have become defunct or have declined in influence, and are now considered heterodox approaches.
The Austrian School is considered a non-mainstream/heterodox school of thought.

Protests Monday on 'Friday of Rage' anniversary to press opposition demands
Osman El Sharnoubi, Sunday 27 Jan 2013
Opposition demands the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood, suspension of the constitution, and dismissal of the Cabinet in rallies that mark the bloodiest day in the anti-Mubarak uprising
Thousands of Egyptian protesters gather in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt, Friday, Jan. 25, 2013 (Photo: AP)
More protests are planned in Egypt Monday to protest the deaths of tens of protesters in clashes between protesters and police across the country.
The protests also mark the anniversary of the decisive "Friday of Rage" on 28 January, 2011 when hundreds of thousands of protesters clashed with security forces who later that day withdrew from the streets leaving Tahrir Square to protesters for two weeks before the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak.
A number of opposition parties and movements have called in a statement issued on Sunday for the dismissal of the Cabinet and cancellation of the recently ratified constitution.
The signatory groups include the Constitution Party, the Egyptian Popular Current, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, the Free Egyptians Party, the Revolutionary Socialists, the 6 April Youth Movement-Democratic Front, among others.
The statement also called for a national salvation government to be formed and held the incumbent Cabinet and President Mohamed Morsi, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood (the group from which Morsi hails) responsible for the violence that erupted on the second anniversary.
Violence across parts of the country erupted Saturday after court sentenced 21 defendants to death in the Port Said stadium massacre.
Over 70 fans of Al-Ahly football club were killed in Port Said stadium in February 2012 after being attacked at the end of a match between Al-Ahly and Al-Masry club.
The families and supporters of those sentenced clashed with security forces at Port Said prison on Saturday afternoon, a confrontation that left over 30 protesters and two police officers dead.
Port Said became a ghost town Saturday night and clashes continued Sunday after police reportedly attacked a mass funeral of those killed Saturday.
The overall death toll in the Suez Canal city since Friday has exceeded 40.
The opposition statement voiced its signatories' "complete rejection of the violent events unfolding in the country, [holding] responsible President Mohamed Morsi, his [Muslim Brotherhood] Guidance Bureau, and the failed Hisham Kandil government." It also voiced its full support for "peaceful protests" across Egypt.
"[We demand] the suspension of the invalid and defective constitution that was formulated by an invalid Constituent Assembly and forced on the Egyptian people through a suspicious referendum," the statement said, calling for an alternative constitution to be written by a publicly elected assembly.
The statement also demanded retribution for all "martyrs" since the outbreak of the revolution in 2011 and demanded the cleansing and restructuring of the Interior Ministry which it accused of killing protesters and revolutionaries.
The statement's final demand was the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood, citing its lack of an official license and condemning what opposition groups see as its illegal interference in Egypt's state administration.
The planned march is set to proceed from El-Sayeda Zeinab Mosque in Old Cairo at 4pm to converge on the building housing the upper house of the Egyptian parliament, the Shura Council, near Tahrir Square.
According to the new constitution, the Shura Council is the primary legislative body until a lower house — formerly the People's Assembly, now the House of Representatives — is elected.

NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: Firefighters walk towards one of the towers at the World Trade Center before it collapsed after a plane hit the building September 11, 2001 in New York City. This September 11 marks ten years since members of Al Qaeda hijacked four planes, attacking the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and crashing one in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people in all. The effects continue to resonate across the global political landscape, as the United States concluded a nearly decade-long search for Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, killing him in May 2011, and struggles to wind down two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

WASHINGTON — A former Obama administration official says al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden wanted to see President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus assassinated.
But Michael Leiter tells NBC's "Today" show he didn't think that necessarily was bin Laden's highest priority, suggesting the terrorist leader dreamed of another large-scale, 9/11-type attack on the United States.
Asked by "Today" host Matt Lauer Tuesday whether bin Laden's aim of seeing Obama assassinated was more of a "wish-list" than a plot, Leiter agreed.
Leiter served as head of the National Counterterrorism Center during the Obama administration. He was present with Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the White House a year ago as they monitored the U.S. operation that killed bin Laden at a compound in Abbottobad, Pakistan.
One year later, Islamabad has failed to answer tough questions over whether its security forces were protecting the world's most wanted terrorist.
Partly as a result, fallout from the raid still poisons relations between Washington and Pakistan, where anti-American sentiment, support for Islamist extremism and anger at the violation of sovereignty in the operation can be summed up by a Twitter hashtag doing the rounds: 02MayBlackDay.
The Pakistani government initially welcomed the raid that killed bin Laden in his three-story compound, but within hours the mood changed as it became clear that Pakistan's army was cut out of the operation. Any discussions over how bin Laden managed to stay undetected in Pakistan were drowned out in anger at what the army portrayed as a treacherous act by a supposed ally.
That bin Laden was living with his family near Pakistan's version of West Point — not in a cave in the mountains as many had guessed — raised eyebrows in the West. The Pakistani army was already accused of playing both sides in the campaign against militancy, providing some support against al-Qaida but keeping the Afghan Taliban as strategic allies.
A week after the raid, President Barack Obama said bin Laden had a "support network" in Pakistan and the country must investigate how he evaded capture. Pakistan responded by announcing the formation of a committee to investigate bin Laden's presence in Pakistan as well as the circumstances surrounding the U.S. raid.
Soon after it began its work, the head of the committee said he was sure that security forces were not hiding bin Laden. Other statements since then have also suggested the report will be more of a whitewash than a genuine probe.
Last week, committee spokesman retired Col. Mohammad Irfan Naziri said its findings were being written up but they might not be released publicly.
"We're disappointed," said a U.S. official about the investigation. "They promised to do it, but they haven't yet."
The public line of the Obama administration is that no evidence has emerged to suggest bin Laden had high-level help inside Pakistan. Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence agency said bin Laden's long and comfortable existence in the country was an "intelligence failure."
But suspicions have increased following recent disclosures by one of bin Laden's wives in a police interrogation report that the al-Qaida leader lived in five houses while on the run and fathered four children, two of whom were born in Pakistani government hospitals.
"I just find the idea that he lived in a place like Abbottabad without the ISI's knowledge strains credibility," said Shawn Gregory, director of the Pakistan Security Research Unit at Bradford University in the U.K. "It is ridiculous that he wasn't being protected."
Since the raid, Pakistan has tried to close one of the most notorious chapters in its history.
The three-story compound in Abbottabad that housed him for six years was razed by bulldozers in a surprise, nighttime operation. Just last week, his three wives and 11 daughters, children and grandchildren were deported to Saudi Arabia; their side of the story is unlikely to be told anytime soon.
In this relatively wealthy and well-ordered town that has become infamous for hosting bin Laden for so long, it's hard to find anyone prepared to say they supported the American operation. Many don't believe bin Laden ever lived in the house, reflecting the popularity of conspiracy theories in a country where the rulers often obscure the truth.
Umair Ishaq, who grows vegetables close to the empty lot, said he remained angry about the raid.
"You go there to the compound, there is a still a fragrance from those who were killed," he said, referring to Islamic belief that those who die as a martyr to the faith give off a sweet smell at death. "They were innocent and they were martyrs."
Most of the rubble has been hauled away from the site, on which local children now play cricket. Farmers cross over it on their way to the fields, and on a recent day older boys were smashing away at bits of masonry, trying to extract the metal poles inside so they could sell them.
After the helicopter-borne operation, the country's generals retaliated by kicking out U.S. special forces trainers operating close to the Afghan border, cutting intelligence cooperation with the CIA and restricting the travel of foreign diplomats and aid workers.
Authorities arrested a Pakistani doctor who assisted America in tracking down bin Laden. The doctor remains in detention, facing possible treason charges. The country has made not made public the arrests of anyone connected bin Laden's time on the run.
Relations had barely recovered when in November U.S. airstrikes inadvertently killed 24 Pakistani troops along the Afghan border. Pakistan immediately blocked U.S. and NATO supply routes across its soil into Afghanistan. They remain shut, despite U.S. attempts to renegotiate a new deal with Pakistan.
Even before the raid, anti-American sentiment was so rampant in Pakistan that anyone who opposed Washington was lauded by many sections of society. Bin Laden was no exception, even as his followers carried out numerous bloody attacks inside the country.
"OBL was considered as a hero by the general public at large, and his death generated a lot of sympathy," said Aftab Khan Sherpao, a lawmaker from the northwest who has three times been targeted by Islamist militant suicide bombers. "No one has been able to control and contain his supporters."
Despite reservations about Pakistan's commitment to U.S. goals in Afghanistan and doubts over how bin Laden managed to evade capture for so long, the Obama administration feels it has little choice but to ally itself with the country. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and will remain important in the fight against al-Qaida in years to come.
Many believe Islamabad's cooperation will be essential for getting any Afghan peace deal to stick, allowing the U.S. to withdraw troops.

How a 'coward' literary society is killing 'good' Indian writing
By Omair Ahmad
Pretty much everybody I know in India has an opinion on Charlie Hebdo. Even if some of them are confused whether it is the name of a man or a magazine, they do know that Charlie Hebdo is French, and there were attacks, murders, and there is something to do with cartoons and Freedom of Expression. Actually that might be too much knowledge. Opinions are formed without even such details.
For example, most people know that Salman Rushdie is (in)famous for a book called The Satanic Verses. They would not have read the book, and they might – just maybe – know that the book is restricted in India. Most people will tell you it is banned. This is not true.
The book is not banned, but its import into India is. The distinction is important because, if you want to change the current state of affairs, you at least need to know who to approach, what to argue. The silly, self-glorifying spectacle of authors reading passages from the book – which they are entirely legally allowed to do – makes no change to an import ban, and leaves the debate on freedom of expression exactly where it is – murdered in a ditch by the side of the road while we clink wineglasses and express our horror at the barbarians at the gates. This is satyagraha as silliness.
This year, Saba Naqvi writes, the gabfest at Jaipur around the ideas of "tolerance" and "freedom of speech" went entirely unaffected by the fact that Arundhati Roy, a writer that some of us may have heard of, was being tried for contempt of court for her remarks on how the Maharashtra Police and courts have treated the disabled professor, GN Saibaba.
We heard nothing of Saikat Mazumdar, whose piece was dropped by the Mint Lounge just as it was going to print, because the publishers were scared of possible legal hassles. This was pretty much the same reason that Penguin India gave for agreeing to ditch and pulp Wendy Doniger's The Hindus, a few years ago. At that time, Siddhartha Varadarajan and Jyotirmaya Sharma cancelled their contracts with Penguin India in protest. In admiration of the position they took, and because I could not see how it made sense to be criticising Penguin India while asking them to sell my books, I followed their lead. One other academic – I believe based in the US – did the same.
Do you know how many Indian authors followed, so upset that they were about such self-censorship? If you guessed "zero", you would be right. None. None at all. All those talking of Freedom of Expression, and yet finding themselves so unable to do anything, make one tiny little sacrifice, you know what they did? They kept themselves safe.
I have heard whingeing defence of such action – or non-action – by people saying it was the law that was bad. The law was bad for Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita too, it was bad for DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Gustave Falubert's Madame Bovary. Even John Steinbeck's, Grapes of Wrath and Joseph Heller's Catch 22 were banned in many states of the US. The fact is that good writing often exposes uncomfortable facts, and you cannot play it safe and expect good writing to come out of a place.
And here, really, is the crux of the matter. Nobody expects good writing to come out of India. Certainly not the publishers. If they did, they would fight for Freedom of Expression, because it is a part of their bread and butter. Look how long and faithfully Penguin – in the UK – fought for Rushdie. Instead, the foreign conglomerates that sell us the books they do can rely on reading whatever tripe is currently being praised in the UK, the US, or maybe (though not likely) in France or Germany. Why defend difficult books if there is no profit to be made of it?
And the writers? Well, take a look. Of all the "big" writers India lays claim to, the ones that win the big international prizes like VS Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, Arundhati Roy, Amartya Sen, Kiran Desai, Vikram Seth, or Jhumpa Lahiri, how many of them are Indian citizens? Narrow it down even further, how many of them write for Indians first and a foreign audience next?
Frankly, none of them. If they sell not one book in India, it would make not one scrap of difference to their fame or fortune. This applies too, to the ones who want to be the next Rushdie, or the next Desai, or the next whoever. They are looking to make their big sales abroad, not for validation in India. Because here is the thing: if you are recognised abroad, you are automatically recognised in India, but if you are only recognised in India, it does not matter even to Indians who you are.
In such a scenario is it any surprise that we are surrounded by a literary community of cowards? The only people who have some measure of courage are those writing in languages predominantly spoken in India, whose audience is here, and who want to push the boundaries. That is why when Uday Prakash returned his Sahitya Akademi Award, it mattered, and it is why it matters that his peers – representing many major language groups across India – agreed with him.
Every country, every culture, that has managed to gain Freedom of Expression is one that has fought for it, on its own grounds, on its own terms. They have done so despite difficulties, despite hardships. In India, at this present juncture, there is almost nobody there to fight this fight. A writer can be harassed by any idiot (with political clout) willing to file a complaint, and will run pillar to post to deal with it, and you know who will help him or her, who will even know? Nobody. Because we are a society of cowards, and all cowards believe in, is silence.
And, oh, yeah, the Charlie Hebdo thing, yeah, that was bad. We can talk about that. It was in France.

I never did update you on what I managed to buy while we were in Scotland.
There's, from the bottom, a lovely book on William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement, Designers Design for Themselves which is about American Arts and Design, Knitting in Vogue (Patterns from the 1930s to the 1980s), Knitting Nostalgia - Knitwear 1920-1950, Amish and Menonite Quilts, Designing for Weaving, The Knit Kit, Handknit Style, Simplicity's Quilts and Patches, and finally Spinning and Weaving at Home which includes instructions for making a spinning wheel out of a bicycle - not sure I'll be trying that but it's a interesting book anyway.
That's 200g of merino in lovely tones of green and a ball of the brightest Opal sock yarn I could find. I have to say that stash enhancement opportunities were few and far between. I had a vague plan of buying some Jamieson & Smith shetland in various colours with the aim of some fair isle knitting but I never actually saw any in any yarn shop I was in. Sadly it seems that yarn shops in Scotland have fallen by the wayside exactly as they have in England. Perth didn't seem to have a yarn shop at all, most of the other shops I was in were full of acrylic stuff and baby yarn. Twist Fibre Craft Studio in Newburgh was a beautiful shop, with lovely stock (and it was there that I bought the things pictured above), but by and large I was disappointed with the quality/choice of the yarns available elsewhere. I'd got it in my head that there would be lots of great yarn shops lurking in the many places we visited but alas this was not to be. Maybe we were in the wrong places, or maybe our timing was bad - certainly there were shops I knew about that we didn't get to because we weren't in the right area when they were open, or we just didn't have the time to spare to make a detour. Probably just as well - if they'd all been great shops I'd be bankrupt!
Next post on Monday hopefully, when I will be reporting on my trip to London on Sunday - to a comic fair primarily - might manage to squeeze a yarn shop in somewhere if any are open on a Sunday.
Also I have exciting news about something happening later in the week, which involves another trip to London. I have such a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
Hi Pat. Thanks for your comment on my blog. Scottish yarn shops are few and far between and sadly not up to much, with a few honourable exceptions. But I am glad you managed to find some souvenirs!
