So That Happened

      No Comments on So That Happened

First things first — Z’s minor operation went well. I’m doing my best to dote and cover chores so he can rest up over the weekend… which should hopefully go a bit more smoothly because he made the point to get things fairly caught up before we headed out for the ‘party’. I need to try to remember to get… Read more »

That Was Quick

So, I rolled my character yesterday morning. I had work, I was out on a night, and then I had work again today. So, how am I level 34 already, ha ha. Granted, I’m currently on Expert difficulty, which is juuuuust about challenging. I think it’s the first time that I’ve ramped up the difficultly on a first run-through for… Read more »

Exploding Corpses for Fun and Profit

      No Comments on Exploding Corpses for Fun and Profit

After cacking up a few things and my bank getting whiny because I gave money to Blizzard (true story — all my Blizzard purchases get flagged), I was able to role myself a Necromancer this morning. Of course, I had to wait until after work and bath to give her a go, but man. I’m having serious fun. And that… Read more »

At Least They Don’t Know the Song

      No Comments on At Least They Don’t Know the Song

Which is to say, the torture that is Raffi’s Bananaphone is *not* a thing over here. Ironically, it wasn’t a thing in my life until I was an adult involved with Radio KoL; my parents never inflicted children’s ‘music’ on us that I can recall. Instead, we had good and probably inappropriate stuff like The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The… Read more »

Rar Rar Rar

I couldn’t tell you why exactly, but today I’ve been doing sock monster on my hands. I guess it’s just me surfing on the random weird waves of my brain, ha ha. Plus, sock monsters are fun, and seeing how far the sock is progressing along my fingers is, as usual, pleasing. Today has been a good day of doing… Read more »

How Does Your Garden Grow?

      No Comments on How Does Your Garden Grow?

While this colourway is called ‘Sugar Cookie’, it’s seriously like a rose to me. I love roses to some ridiculous degree, so this suits me. Like, I love roses to the point that I insisted (if possible) that I bring the roses my mother-in-law got me for my first Christmas in the UK here to the new house when we… Read more »

Too Many Pictures in the Year

      No Comments on Too Many Pictures in the Year

My mother-in-law’s birthday is in a few days, and her one request was that I whip up a new filler for the picture frame we got her last year. The filler currently in it was pictures of the girls from the previous year, so what I’m doing is the same again. As I’ve taken *thousands* of photos in the past… Read more »

Speeding Along

I had a really good night of knitting and chatting last night, and a bit of knitting today, and suddenly my first sock is almost five inches long. I checked my leg length on my last pair of socks, and it was all of 4.5 inches. I should probably move on to the heel flap soon before it gets too… Read more »

Let There Be Breeze!

      No Comments on Let There Be Breeze!

According to the BBC weatherperson, the high yesterday reached 35C (95F) in some parts of England. Today’s high by comparison is much more reasonable 20C (68F). We’ve had the windows thrown open all day to catch the breeze, and it’s been overcast too. We had one teenyquick thunderstorm this morning, but otherwise it’s been cool and dry. It’s supposed to… Read more »

Serpentine

Whelp, I got past the initial ribbing, and then flubbed up the two rows after that. I picked it back, got my head into the game, and am now making good progress into the pattern. The tl;dr is ‘didn’t follow instructions properly’, but at least I figured it out before I got too far. The heat continues to be murderous,… Read more »
