The pollen as of late has been brutal in its affect upon myself and Z recently. So I guess I wasn’t too surprised when the school called to tell me that Smalls had an itchy rash on her arm, could I come to the school? I put on some streetworthy clothing (’cause was still chilling in pjs), called Z to… Read more »

In my annoyance at villagers in my Minecraft village invading my house, I’ve started building a bunkhouse. I’ve even started a second sheep pen dedicated to cranking out yellow wool to make the beds. I haven’t decided how stacked I am going to make the house, but like… I’m all about having tonnes of villagers… just not in *my* house…. Read more »

I finally got off of my ass and got the little cardi washed and blocked. This time, I did something smart — I pinned it with three blocks behind it. Which means that it’s better pinned, and I don’t have needles sticking up all over the place begging to be impaled on feet. Having said that, it would be quite… Read more »

And just like that, the first sock of the pair is done. I did something weird when I was grafting the toes, but your guess is as good as to mine as to what I did wrong *laughs*. The point is the toe is closed and it doesn’t irritate my toesies, so job done (and not like anyone is gonna… Read more »

The week — I have survived it! Last night was a good meal with good folk. Ditto for the night before. But that doesn’t change the fact that I am finally stopped, and therefore paying a fuller measure of the toll of doing so much (for me) in a week. Heck, I even kicked off today by accidentally turning my… Read more »

Last night was a lovely family outing to the miniature train station. Z’s dad is a Rotarian, and his club organised the outing. Last year it was nominally with ‘the kids in mind’… this year, there didn’t seem to be too many children. *chuckles* But the girls had fun, we had a nice meal, and I got some impromptu exercise… Read more »

One of the ladies in my knitting group messaged me this morning, looking to see if I had a certain colour of polish to help her patch her manicure. The tl;dr ended up being that she was going to get some clear to hold it together until her next appointment, but it did serve to remind me that I wanted… Read more »

We were at the school to see Smalls’ end-of-year play. We were at the back of the room, and I spotted this door. I wasn’t fussed, and it enabled at least one parent with screeching baby to make a dignified escape. Now, Smalls didn’t tell me anything about the play in advance; I asked, she demurred. Turns out she had… Read more »

I’ve got my knitting, I’ve got my games… I’ve also got a childling who wants me to help her learn how to play Sims 4. That last bit means I’ve had to get up a couple of times to show her bits, which of course, she times perfectly to me sitting down and juuust about getting comfortable, ha ha. But… Read more »

While I was completing my nighttime ablutions last night, Batman started flailing around in the bathtub. I’m pretty sure that he was attempting to catch a small flying bug, but I didn’t see the bug — only frenetic kitty scrabbling. I took a lot of pictures, but this particular jazz hands one? The best. Not the best is the weather… Read more »
