Monthly Archives: August 2021

And thus, vacation mode is activated. We have nothing planned, which, perfect. Well. Z is hoping to take the kids on a few outings, but I don’t have to leave the house and go near people. Which really, that’s how I like to spend the bulk of my holiday time. Too bad all the rest of my time is home… Read more »

After my pulling back, I’m back most of the way through the gusset. I should be back to the heel turn before bed tonight, I reckon. We’ll see if I can muster enough focus for that, since I’m distracted by gaming goodness. Tomorrow is our last day of work before two weeks off. Woo, time off! We’re not going anywhere… Read more »

Batman wandered over to say hi, and then opted to stand around moodily out of arm’s reach… yanno, as cats do. I took a few pictures and he made it clear he wasn’t impressed. Of course, he can *hear* me typing about him, so he’s come over and is trying to demand attention… by standing in this precise pose, but… Read more »

A picture of the yarn after I pulled it out yesterday. I’ve now completed the toe again, so yanno, off to a good start. I also managed to, I think, successfully repair one of my fixed cable needles that broke last night. The cord came loose, so I applied some super glue before tucking it back into its needle. I’ve… Read more »

I decided to take a wee stroll through Mum’s garden this afternoon; it had been awhile since my last one, and it always brings me joy. I took quite a few pictures, but I especially liked this one. The tree in the front is actually just bare tree, but it almost looks like the buddleia behind it is part of… Read more »

I’m onto the next stage of the sock, which… wrap and turn sole something. I’m just following the instructions and waiting for my brain to figure out what it’s done after it’s constructed. Bonus, I ended up redoing my nails today, so have a hint of the thermal goodness (with a bit more on Instagram). Haven’t been hugely productive today,… Read more »

We’re currently watching through Coupling for the nth time, so the fact I’m working on a gusset while watching the show… *mwah!* Today has been warmer again, which, rude. I know I know, August. Still. The rain is supposed to come back, so hopefully that’ll make it a smidge more pleasant. But eh, I’m pretty upfront on the fact that summer… Read more »

Took a random snap for blog photography, and ngl, love how my hair looks. Vanity aside… don’t really have a lot to say today. *laughs* So it sometimes goes. <3

One of the awkward truths I had to accept when I first became a parent is that babytalk? It’s literal evolution shit that you cannot avoid for the life of you. Which means I was probably doing it to the cats before the babies… I definitely do now. Today’s subject line is one that I lay upon Batman’s brow, syrupy… Read more »

Smalls and I randomly got on the subject of food on a stick earlier; they were surprised to realise they had had food on a stick. Um, ice cream? But, bless ’em, they were thinking of like, a scoop of ice cream on a stick rather than an ice lolly. It was cute. But also, I’m amused how this pattern… Read more »
