Well, okay, I guess I have to peel myself out of my blanket sooner than that, but I don’t wanna. The week is over, the workday is over, and I just want to veg. I did thank the girls for a mainly good week; I’m really proud of both of them for independently spearheading crafting projects. Even if it was… Read more »
Today is Z’s birthday. We opted to do a family lunch, which was the first time we’d done one since we were on vacation a few years back. The food was excellent, the girls well behaved, and we’re in agreement that we should all do it again in the near future. We had fun quizzing Littler on shapes and counting,… Read more »
Z had spotted a jar of black bean sauce and decided to try and make us a nice stir-fry with it. It was alright, I guess. Which is to say, I inhaled it while trying to decide if I liked it or not. If he made it again, I would eat it. Is it better than a takeaway? Probably not,… Read more »
My new shelving unit came in just as Z did, so he helped me cobble it together. It was sort of amazing how quickly getting stuff off of my desk and stowed went once I had the space to do so. There’s probably a bit more shifting around of stuff that I can do, but this will more than do… Read more »
One thing that the UK and Texas have in common is an obsession with the weather. Why? Because the weather is a very random thing, compliments of various geographical features. So I didn’t expect the super storm that blew through last night, and blew an upset Smallhausen into our bed. And I didn’t expect the hail-snow mix that fell this… Read more »
Today, I have hit a landmark in jumper knitting — I have cast off the back side of things, and returned to the front. I’ve got my labouriously mathed out sheets, and I get to follow that for most of the way up. So that’s a bit of relief. I hope that the front will work faster than the back… Read more »
Today was the last day of the half term, which means the girls are my company for the next week. I figured I’d try to get a cute picture to preface that, which means I managed to get them to look up from their tablets for a fraction of a second. Having said that, attached to their tablets is probably… Read more »
Tonight’s picture is just the bread knife that lives on the kitchen table, complete with a few crumbs. Z likes to order baguettes for his lunch, so it sees a fair amount of use. Speaking of Z, my current gaming jag is compliments of him in the form of Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! I have to say that it is… Read more »
One thing that I tend to do without thinking about it is use my desktop tower as a footrest. I’ve done it as long as I can remember, and it doesn’t do it any harm. AND — it leads to that hilarious moment when it’s not there where I try to put my feet up and nothing is there. But… Read more »
This particular knitting stitch is known as the double seed stitch. It’s a pretty simple thing to do all told, but I definitely do better keeping a rigorous count of what row I’m on. And, to my joy, I’ve done alright enough with that to get to the next colour, which is always yay. I am on the whole feeling… Read more »
