I must just put up a quick reminder to all of those who know and love the lists that come with the IIML newsletter. Cath Vidler, of Snorkel, has now chosen to fully immerse herself in her endearingly mad craft by beginning a blog purely for the purpose of list-making.

I particularly like the 'Sounds made in various contexts by Norwegian rats Snip, Cricket, Widget and Squeak' and also 'Yodelling Phrases' (the way this is listed is actually art in itself and oh - that triumphant finish! I defy anyone to read it without at least an attempt). And the way one is brought down to earth at the end of the Darjeeling Tea-Grading Acronyms and their Meanings – I found it really grounding.

The long winter evenings are going to fly by - keep it coming, Cath.
