A visit to Mum, which meant another stomp through her lovely back garden. I should’ve worn shoes instead of slightly dampening my socks, but never mind. I also claimed an apple that looked like it was neither a Bramley or a Ballerina, and am nomming it now. I might have to pop over and claim more off of the tree,… Read more »

Or, well, ‘rainbows’. Neither of these are proper rainbows for all colourway names imply, but they’re still fun to work with. One’s the socks still, while the other is an impromptu desire to make a random pressie for a random person. Because yanno, it’s fun to do. Z and Smalls went to school this afternoon for meeting the tutor and… Read more »

…spousal person showing up from a trip to the grocery store with a box of Krispy Kremes. He also got petrol, which hopefully means the wave of dumbassery that caused people to try to hoard it might be over. Fingers crossed, eh? But it was a nice, unexpected treat, and we all appreciate it. I can’t really think of anything… Read more »

Nothing much to report. Taking a break from my Diablo 3 jag to poke my Sims 4 mega-challenge (complete every LTW on a single Sim). I’m idly breeding frogs while shoving my Sim through university, ’cause might as well try to get all those sweet sweet collections collected as well. Past that, polling my FB friends on chokers. I’m really liking… Read more »

Well, not much progress, ’cause killing monsters. I’ve amused myself by once again falling into a Spinny Barbarian build in Diablo 3… the heart wants what the heart wants. And really, that’s all it wants right now, so I’mma get back to that. 😀 <3

Today has been A Day™®. I messed up my sleep last night baaaad, and ended up sleeping in. Which is fine! It didn’t do me any harm, and it’s the weekend anyways. What did get me is that suddenly I was bitten by a spate of anger and annoyance about the state of the house, directed at poor Z. I… Read more »

Batman was sitting on the back of the couch when I got back from visiting Mum, so I harassed him with photos. Cats, innit. I can’t resist them. Good visit to Mum. I don’t really know how to sum up the conversation… productive? Edifying? Enjoyable for the most part, whatever the case. We do let our hair down around each… Read more »

Today would have been Z’s dad’s birthday, so we’re around at Mum’s house having his favourite — fish and chips. Or well, had. Now we’re just sitting around chatting, some of it Grandad related, most of it just… family talking to each other.  It’s been awhile since we all did it over at Mum’s house, so it’s a nice change… Read more »

I have, on the whole, excellent friends. This includes people who send me Halloween cards, which is arguably the best holiday in the best month. I was bemused that hey, woke up feeling vaguely alert! Woo! So of course, my focus fucked off and I got very little done work-wise… so it sometimes goes. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. For… Read more »

So, my mother-in-law loves mint Turkish Delight. I got her a box of the ‘proper’ stuff last year (Hazer Baba), but it’s not been available this year. I like the stuff too, so we said ‘why not’ and bought 2kg of it. They’re okay! The pieces are bigger than the ones in the Hazer Baba box, I think, so I… Read more »
