Our new babies are home! We’ve had some amusing encounters, but nothing hostile. Raven had spotted Halo (the boy) and gone for a nice sniff greet. October wandered over, curious, which sent Raven jumping backwards with a ‘There’s two of you?!’ vibe. Vivi has been mildly hissy, but mainly just sort of keeping an eye on them. Last check, they… Read more »

Today’s picture comes from Z’s camera roll. I mean, how can I not use this? So cute, so… outraged? Gooberesque? Pure cat. Speaking of cats, turns out we’re going to be picking up the kittens after all. Which, fine, just have to make sure to not do anything in the moving vehicle whatsoever. -__- I used to be able to… Read more »

I’ve been doing some further tidying and reorganisation in my general habitation. I’m mainly happy with it, though there’s still a few bits I need to find new homes for. And then we still have the other half of the lounge to poke at. The whole tidying of the downstairs *is* coming along. Past that, usual weekend stuff. Gaming, a… Read more »

First sock is complete! The mistake… err… design choice is that I accidentally pulled out the needles during the toe bind-off, and ended up with a random-ass loop I couldn’t shift. So I tucked it inside the sock, pinned it down across the toe, and bob’s your uncle (unless he isn’t. obviously). All my little bits in the right size… Read more »

Today has been hella chilly. Even sitting directly under the heat, I ended up whacking on a hat and extra socks. Hopefully tomorrow feels less chilly, and if it doesn’t… well, I’ve still got my hat. That aside, feeling a bit rough. Probably not hydrated well enough. Hard to do it properly when cold. Will have to try to do… Read more »

I’m bemused that my laptop keyboard is taking somewhat hilarious wear. I guess ‘A’ is the main victim, with a touch of ‘E’? I can understand the WASD having a bit of wear ’cause games, but still. Having said that, I like the fact that you get the red glow through the hole, so. I amuse easily, what can I… Read more »

Z and I went down to the pub on the river for a belated birthday lunch. Lovely meal, and lovely exposure to cold. We were sitting in the car for a few minutes waiting for it to defrost, and I couldn’t resist photographing this loveliness to share. But yes, good day! Nice lunch. My Switch Lite finally showed up; I… Read more »

I had a hankering recently to play some No Man’s Sky, so I rolled up a fresh game and set out. This ship… stars. It was the third bit of salvage I found, and it’s just so delightfully ugly. It reminds me of some sort of tricked out orange pick-up truck, and well. I’ll probably scrap it same as anything else… Read more »

Managed to shift a few bits today. Managed to get the kids to poke at their respective messes a bit too. Victory? Definitely. I think that the kids are probably a bit more in the mood; now that the painting is done, they can start decorating their spaces a bit more. Z put LED strip lighting along the top of… Read more »

I’m pleased at how quickly this sock is coming along. Is it the pattern? Is it because I’m comfier doing top down? No idea. I do think that next top down pair I do, I’ll have to remember to put a few extra stitches at the top, just to give a bit more stretch over calf chonk. Blech, time to… Read more »
