Looty Loot Loot

      No Comments on Looty Loot Loot

It’s the last workday of the year, yay! And with that came a final divvy of presents from our various contractors. Since neither Z nor myself drink, we ended up with a choice selection of candy and biscuits (cookies for the non-Brits). I claimed the jellies for my own because I love jelly candy, while Z has made sure to… Read more »

Lulz, Nope

      No Comments on Lulz, Nope

To cut a long story short, the girls didn’t go to school today. I’m not convinced that they were poorly enough to actually need to stay in, but they did. But I did manage to grudgingly manage to bathe, so that was the main thing. I can usually power through and make myself do it before I get too gross,… Read more »

The Last Day

      No Comments on The Last Day

Today is the last day of the kiddos being quarantined from school. Tomorrow… is the last day of school. I’m glad that they get to go in, and they’re glad too. And, thankfully, we all held it together today on the whole. I am feeling a bit cruddier, but like… at least tomorrow I just have me to take care… Read more »

Unexpected Repeat

      No Comments on Unexpected Repeat

I woke up this morning to find a bit of snow had fallen. It wasn’t much… really, it was just enough to turn the entire village into a skating rink. It suffices to say that I was very happy that I didn’t have to go out into it, and Z was happy that he didn’t have to walk both kids… Read more »

All the Good Things (And Other Things)

      No Comments on All the Good Things (And Other Things)

Last night’s Christmas dinner was lovely. We knew that the food was excellent from last year, so it made it an easy pick for this year (and we’ve already said yes to coming back next year). E and I had a good old natter, we had a nice meal; it was what we probably both needed. Today… today started off… Read more »

All the Waiting

      No Comments on All the Waiting

Today, I was waiting for a package being delivered by Hermes. The last week and change where we have had deliveries from them, they haven’t knocked on the door and we were starting to get a bit ticked. Then Z realised the doorbell batteries had gone flat again, and got those changed before Hermes showed up today. Lo and behold,… Read more »

3.75

      No Comments on 3.75

The next point that I have to think about doing anything on this jumper is at 3 and 3/4 inches — 3.75, if you will. It’s currently at just about 3 inches; I should probably try to estimate how many rows more I need to go. I also need to remember that when I do the increase that the pattern… Read more »

She’s a Star

      No Comments on She’s a Star

Today, we went to see the littlest in her first school Nativity. She was one of the kings/wise men, which amounted to standing there looking cute, and occasionally remembering to half-assedly join in with the songs. It wasn’t Shakespeare, but it definitely was cute. I commented to Z on the way home that I sort of wish we’d tried to… Read more »

It Begins

      No Comments on It Begins

One of the houses in the village that went all out for Halloween has made a start on their Christmas decorations. If that’s what they want to do, then good on them — but I still roll my eyes slightly. While smiling. As said, to each their own, but it’s not for me personally. Doesn’t mean I’m going to disparage… Read more »

Too Many Unicorns

      No Comments on Too Many Unicorns

Today, my companion Smalls complained that I have too many unicorns, and that I was greedy. Let’s see — I made one unicorn, the red thing is a mooshroom, Fluffy was a Christmas gift, and kittencorn is only half a unicorn (and the only one I bought anyways). I was amused though — I do love my plush goodness. And… Read more »
