I had another knitting magazine come in, which means another kit, which means… yeah, I’ve not been using wool fast enough. *chuckles* So I decided I was going to do a round crochet blanket. I don’t know how long I’ll go before I get bored, but I figure it’s likely longer than it would be doing yet another granny square…. Read more »

My head is cold, and apparently my brain doesn’t accept hair as the appropriate covering for it today… thanks brain, you’re a pal. :p At least the blanket is toasty warm, though I guess I could go find a hat or turn the heat on. But yanno, that makes too much sense. >__> <__< Besides, I like my blanket, and… Read more »

We have had some mega wind over the past 24+ hours. Like, there was snow not too far from here out of freaking nowhere, it was that wild. It was also really bad most of the morning, though it’s calmer right now. Unfortunately, it was morning that had me walking across the village to and from the surgery, ha ha…. Read more »

I was passing a card around the fam earlier to get all the signatures on it, so I decided to see if Poison wanted to add her mark. She didn’t. She just gave me a look, because yanno, cat, no apposable thumbs, etc. She’s pretty tolerant of my weirdness though, so. *chuckles* I’ve been vaguely productive today, which is always… Read more »

A Lidl opened up near us in the past month, so we finally made our way down to investigate. We ended up leaving with two full bags of stuff for just under £30, so that was pretty cool. We picked up stuff for steaks as we’d not had any at home in ages, so we’ll see how that comes out…. Read more »

Of course, American folx of my generation will recognise that as a reference to a Popsicle commercial, ha ha. But as you can see, the other nail polish I ordered came in. It doesn’t photograph well with the in-room light, but believe me, they’re yummy. I’ve only done black on one nail to test its glossiness, as the listing claims… Read more »

Today was a… charming… reminder that it’s still winter here, whatever the super warm February tried to claim. It was windy and wet and gross, and I wasn’t too charmed to be out in it. But I had my appointment with the nurse and it coincided nicely with picking Smalls up from her after-school club, so I got to potter… Read more »

Today’s picture pretty much sums how how I’ve felt today — cute, and in pain. I call baby fibro, as I’m not convinced that I actually have fibromyalgia like so many of my friends, but I know that I have days where I am tired and in pain, and in pain because I’m tired. Today, I was in pain because… Read more »

It’s Shrove Tuesday, which means it’s also Pancake Day here in the UK. And in our family, pancake means crepes. Z and I like ours with lemon, but we were lacking in lemon. So I, being confident that the Post Office would have some, set off on the grand journey of like, 6 minutes round trip. On foot. *chuckles* The… Read more »

I had ordered a bottle of nail polish and then completely forgotten that I had, so I had a pleasant surprise in the post this afternoon. I might slather on some tomorrow while Z is out of the house; the smell does a bad turn to his breathing, like alcohol, perfume, etc. Having said that, this one is 5-free, so… Read more »
