Smalls came in from playing out with their friends, and promptly told us that they dropped their phone. It um… yeah, we think one of their friends also ran over it on a scooter, and it’s absolutely unusable. We were gentle and calm, and thanked them for telling us immediately. Obvs, the rush of the fact hitting combined with just…… Read more »

Apparently, it’s The Law™® that I always have a sock on the go, or nearly on the go. My hands kept twitching to the point where I decided okay fiiiine, I’ll start doing the gauging. I’m not sure why I bother the half-assed job I do of gauging each time I start a pair of socks, but anyways. I guess… Read more »

I’m pleased that I’ve been doing a good job of keeping my area tidy. I had a bit of a clutter earlier, but it was all small arty projects that got done and ticked off the mental list. Past that… not much of anything, which is perfect. 🙂 <3

I took an inaugural journey today; I went to the postbox in my wheelchair. My arms are a bit worn out, and I didn’t make the repeat journey that an order placed while I was out entailed, but at least I did it once. These flowers were at eye height at one of the points I stopped to rest my… Read more »

Today has been a mix of a day. I had a bad anxiety spike late morning and had to go hide upstairs for a bit to calm down. And then talk to Z about it, and apologise that my knee-jerk response is still problematic. Mind, I kept most of that inside and talked about how it almost came out; I… Read more »

Today, she is the last day of the school year here. Smalls returned triumphant from their school trip, while Smaller got to go out in style because her team won mufti rights. They have both done very well in spite of such a weird year. Their personalities are huge, and they are both quite confident in who they are. They’ve… Read more »

Le socks, they are done. They are probably the closest to an identical match I’ve had so far, which is pleasing, since I wasn’t particularly trying (I never am — I like what comes as comes). Today has been doing the work things, and hunkering down in the a/c. It’s supposed to stay bad all week. Reputedly we’re going to… Read more »

I’ve been trying to buckle down and get this sock done. I’m not too far off of it… about 15 rows? I don’t know if I’m going to finish that tonight, but at least yanno, getting there. I don’t know what I’m going to afterwards. Obviously, I’ve got a second Who scarf started, and I’m doing blanket squares… but both… Read more »

And not a thumb to be seen in my photo, ha ha. Just yanno, in a cheerful food coma. It’s our anniversary, which means we ordered some takeaway. There was a new-to-us Chinese to try, so that’s always a bit of fun. Past that, we’ve just been chilling and not moving much. It’s hot out there, and the a/c is… Read more »

I spotted this little beauty growing out of a crack in the road on my way home earlier, and had to get a picture. Mind you, it’s in ‘front’ of a well-loved front garden, so it probably started there and somehow ended up where it did. I hope it manages to be left alone, doing its sunny little thing there….
