Visitors! Fun! Et cetera! I took a turn feeding the young master, because he’s cute, and because it’s nice to be able to to help out friends with their progeny.  I think my girls have been bemused to see me go into full babeh-squishing mode. It’s also a bit of a delight that the gap between Smaller and babeh is… Read more »

The new polishes arrive bright and early yesterday morning, which meant that I could take them for a test run. Here’s a picture with a bit of the gold, which is growing on me. At first it seemed some weird combination of matte and shimmer, but the more I look at it, the less matte it seems. But also, that’s… Read more »

It’s the European elections in the UK today. And while we ‘weren’t supposed’ to still be in the EU for them, I’m chuffing glad we are. I was happy and excited to vote — in part because we have a good chance of electing a Green party MEP in my area. We’ll see how it all falls out after the… Read more »

I’ve topped off a satisfactory day ‘at the office’ with a lovely bath. And it’s warm enough (20C/69F) that my hair is drying out in record time. Yeah yeah, I know that temp shouldn’t count as warm with the whole having come from Texas thing, but it runs warm here. *chuckles* Whatever the case, my head feels nice and fresh,… Read more »

I had £8 precisely in discretionary spending to spend — so of course, I was obligated to spend it on the nail polish offer that was that exact price. I don’t think that I own anything in gold, so this is gonna be sweet. There was one problem though — my Paypal account was acting up. I was getting a… Read more »

There are times that I think that Smaller is more cat that person. And that’s okay! I like cats more than people most of the time, ha ha. One of those ways that stands out is the desire to hang out in a box. We’ve got any number of these large foam squares floating around, and yeah, I can’t blame… Read more »

My face looks tired; this is more or less what makes sense after being up so late last night. Eurovision was a good time, and I didn’t have any particular problems getting to sleep after. I’m definitely dragging today, but as I’m not in actual physical pain from exhaustion, I am calling it a victory. I’m glad that I’ve got… Read more »

My efforts to double down and make an effort on this little cardi seem to be paying off. I don’t think that I’ll have it finished in time for R and C to take it home with them next weekend, but we’ll see. Having that as a potential goal certainly puts my feet to the fire. Z is a fantastic… Read more »

Poison was curled up in a ball nestled into a pillow left on the couch. Since she was just on the edge of the blanket, I figured I’d annoy her by tucking her in. She gave me weird looks and meowed half-complaints for two minutes, and then removed herself from the silliness. Honestly, I was impressed she tolerated it for… Read more »

Washing my hair is a chore… except it’s not. Except every time I go to bathe, my brain pre-whines that it’s too much of a task, so it doesn’t always get done. It’s totally worth it when it does though, because it’s soft and lovely and I keep touching it. I definitely have some yay and nay textures, and yeah…… Read more »
