One Thing Went Right Today

      No Comments on One Thing Went Right Today

Another day, another day my new Pokémon didn’t arrive. Again. Even I’m starting to get pissed off. Z called Amazon again and cancelled the order, and immediately re-ordered it. He saved £2, and it was guaranteed tomorrow delivery from an Amazon courier, not Royal Mail. Also, he go ta £5 voucher, and a free month of Prime out of the… Read more »

Right, this is gonna probably be short because we *just* got home from driving across the country. Our trip to Riath’s house for our little Thanksgiving do went mainly well, outside of Littlerbit vomiting not five minutes from their house. Oh well. We didn’t get a repeat on the way home, which was the important thing. The food was good,… Read more »

Future Order from Minor Disaster

      No Comments on Future Order from Minor Disaster

My desk has hit that sort of overgrown state again that happens when I keep piling stuff on it. Funny how that works. *cough* It’ll be a bit better once I get it crammed into my knitting bag for tomorrow… which I will hopefully tonight. We’ve got a very early start to make tomorrow to drive across to visit Riath… Read more »

I Made It!

      No Comments on I Made It!

Not gonna lie — I was really freaking anxious about going to Stitch ‘n Bitch tonight. E couldn’t make it, so I was flying solo. I really, *REALLY* did not want to deal with the person I had a conflict with, and moreso without support. So deities were awesome, and that person was not there tonight. She reputedly phoned in… Read more »

Twinkly Toes

I have done what I wanted to do today, which was ignore everything and play more Stardew Valley. Well. And taking muuuuuuch longer than was reasonable, I got the wool pictured from skein to cake, and casted on for a gauge square. I’m probably not going to be super-knitty on them once the wool comes in for the snoods, but… Read more »

Fistful of Tiny Hats

Today has been a good day. Even if I had to leave the house. We went over to E’s house so the kids could play, and I didn’t fall to pieces over her like I feared I would. We’d not hung out in person since Woolgate (as I’m calling it), though we’ve done our usual few lines of chatting most… Read more »

Back to Square One

So, you know that snood I was knitting? It’s now been completely pulled back after talking to the person I’m making it for. She thought it would be cool if it was red and white stripes, so sure, why not. I ordered the wool for that and for the other one I’m making for her, so we’ll see how it… Read more »

*waves* We have had company today. One of Z’s friends from when he lived abroad is fairly local doing a study course, so we invited him around to hang out. It’s been a nice day of chilling out and chatting, which means I don’t have overmuch to chatter about here. We played silly video games, we chatted, the children climbed… Read more »

New Book Day!

      No Comments on New Book Day!

This in my hot little hands is the latest installment of the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. E accidentally introduced it to me when she bought the third in a charity shop and thought I might like it. I did, though I did have to point out that it was in the middle of a series, and that… Read more »

Let There Be Cake (and Chairs)

      No Comments on Let There Be Cake (and Chairs)

We as a family went to the grocery store the other day. We do that sometimes on a weekend to spend too much money on assorted junk, but also just to get out of the house and do *something*. While we were there, I picked up a cake mix. I’d not baked anything in a really long time and I… Read more »
