I’m super chuffed — I finally managed to hit level 38 in Pokémon Go; this means I can finally submit Pokéstops. Which means I can try my luck seeing if anything near my house might be interesting enough to be approved, ha ha. This is an old postal marker (or telephone marker, I think is the actual deal now), and… heh…. Read more »

It was a rather wet day today on the whole, and I had to go out in it. Grump? Mini-grump. It was Smaller’s parent/teacher meeting day, and while I honestly would prefer to not be out in person… well. This is one of those things that leaving the house is worthwhile. Kiddo is doing fine, a couple of small suggestions,… Read more »

I’d gone down the far end of the couch to annoy Poison with pets, so Z took some photos. There’s even a little video clip; we didn’t take any of Batman that I can recall, so we’re not going to make that mistake again. We, admittedly, attempt to film Poison with some frequency, because we very much want to get… Read more »

I’ve been a bit anxiety-spiky the last day or two — so rude. I’m also missing my best boy a lot right now. I know grief isn’t linear, and we literally just buried him last week, but still. Sometimes being a real girl and having real feelings gets old sometimes. That’s about it, really. Just feeling tired and generally existing…. Read more »

Poison was sprawled out cutely, and I’d not taken any pictures of her in a hot minute, so I got on that. Z commented that she was posing in a ‘photograph me like one of your French kitties’ way, which, yes. Will do. She’s currently in Z’s arms complaining at the indignity of everything… while purring her little head off…. Read more »

I noticed the tree at the front of Mum’s garden was in bloom, so I just had to take a few pictures.. Turns out it’s a flowering cherry tree — no fruit. Shame. I would love to have some cherries tress to gorge myself upon. But I also know that the birds around here are ruthless in stealing all the… Read more »

Batman’s stone came in today! I am super pleased with it. It came out pretty much as good as I could have hoped, and I made sure to write a nice review. I had hoped to get it planted today, but the wind is icy and fierce, so tomorrow is better probably. Everyone in the house has had a chance… Read more »

When I came around here to get my post for the night written, my site threw up a 500 error. Annoyed, but what can you do? I did the things I could do on my end, no fix, so asked my hosting if they could resolve it. Dreamhost continues to be awesome, and had it fixed in minutes. And on… Read more »

As much as I’m still jamming on the cross-stitching, it’s really nice to get my fingers back into some knitting. I finally dragged myself to the gusset section, so yanno, something slightly more interesting to lead me back to finishing this poor sock. Past that, yanno, just World War 3 brewing. Hopefully not, but I guess we’ll just have to… Read more »

Z had just started off dinner, when all the lights in the house went off. Just the lights — all the sockets were still powered. He flipped switches, and after a few minutes everything was back up… until it wasn’t, again. tl;dr, the oven has breathed its last. Thankfully, our curry was done, so we shared some of that out… Read more »
