The cats are not permitted to be on the desk… and look where I found this chonk, ha ha. Though to be fair, she wouldn’t’ve been up there if I hadn’t picked her up and plonked her into my lap. She tolerated it with good grace for a minute or two, which was pleasing. I don’t expect to be turning… Read more »

I was nosing around my friend Miriam’s webstore the other day, and what did I spot — stickers. Knitting stickers. Did I buy them? Hells yeah, to the tune of three sheets. And I am telling myself that I am worth it by dint of actually using the stickers. I tend to hoard them, which apparently is semi-common against ACONs…. Read more »

One of my regular in-room views is Smaller in all sorts of weird contortions. This rainbow loaf is a pretty tame one, especially when compared to all the times you can find her bridging bits of furniture without really paying attention to what she’s doing. As long as she doesn’t fall and hurt herself, I celebrate her enjoying what her… Read more »

Poison has recently been sitting on the couch in ways that has her butt hangs off. I caught her sitting like this earlier, and was amused by how deceptively tiny she looked for it. She’s off somewhere else now because Smaller is there, but still — it was cute enough to share. The headache BS continued today, though I have… Read more »

Through the well-known magic of ‘throw a blanket over it’, I declare the back half of the lounge good enough to pass muster. Z has been doing some work on ‘his’ half of the lounge, which has seen the tv end much tidier. There’s still the kids’ toys to shift around and make look like less of a bomb site,… Read more »

The headache BS continues. The only difference is that I’ve not taken anything for it today… I think that I am going to have to ‘give up’ and do so. I’ve gotten almost nothing done today because of it, but I’m not going to beat myself up over it either. I *will* try to keep chipping at little things around… Read more »

While there is still quite a bit that needs to be done in the kitchen, the progress so far is very pleasing. Z has been working super hard, and the girls are looking forward to actually having a meal around the table. I’m slightly meh about it, but I’ll try to feign some enthusiasm for it. After all, we *should*… Read more »

I’m not sure how I managed it, but my eyes are brown in this picture? Never mind. It goes in well with feeling worn out and janky I guess. The weather is exceedingly damp, and my knees are complaining a lot about it. Hopefully that will change over the weekend… we’ll see. It’s a long weekend, and I’m hoping that… Read more »

There are local elections today in the UK, which meant a trip to our village hall to cast our votes. Even if it was first thing this morning, I still sort of wish that this country would adopt the most excellent Australian tradition of the democracy sausage. Since the idea is to fundraise for charity by doing it, it’s definitely… Read more »

Baby (my newer laptop), for whatever reason, has really weak wifi reception. So I bought her a wifi dongle to try and boost her fortunes… and it came with a chuffin’ mini-disc. A mini-disc… or the world’s tiniest coaster, as Z referred to it. I didn’t actually need it to make the dongle function, but I *did* smile hugely to… Read more »
