Smalls is super-adverse to us… me… cursing. I slip sometimes in her presence and get told off for it, but I do try hard to respect her and not let f-bombs fly around her. Apparently, she decided this applies to online as well? She was standing by  me and looked at my Facebook profile, where I’d use the f-bomb in… Read more »

I love this polish, but it does *not* photograph well. It looks even pinker in the shop listing, so don’t know what to tell you. It’s definitely red in person, though I desire an even redder one from the site. It’s on my wishlist and everything… yes, you can make a wishlist on the site, and isn’t that just dangerous….

I am full of yawn right now, but that’s fine. It comes after a generous dinner and a productive work day. Like I said to Z earlier — there’s a chance I’ll catch my tail tomorrow, which. Awesome. Really, usual being in my meatbag feeling like crap, I’d call it a good week. Shit got done, getting to sleep has… Read more »

My hair is clean, and I’ve got the happy floof feels. Too bad they don’t outweigh headaches, ha ha. I’ll take something for it in a little bit, but I’ve been holding off so that I will be at my least pained during socialisation. I’m fairly sure that the plan is still to stay in at mine, but that doesn’t… Read more »

I give up on having a flat blanket — let there be ripples. As long as it’s not curling up from being too tight, it’ll work alright for the purpose intended. Now I just need to keep my nose to the grindstone and try to get at least one mini-skein a day added to it. That’ll keep it growing at… Read more »

One of the signs, to me, that my health is improving, is that I can find the spoons to do my nails a bit more frequently. It also helps that I am utterly in love with this black. It’s super-shiny, and I even managed to buff scratches out of a thumbnail that I accidentally texturised while it was drying. That’s… Read more »

And by ‘fake snow’, I mean ‘unexpected mini-hail’. Z happened to be looking out the window when it started, so he was able to tip off the rest of us to take a peek-see. What can I say — we’re British. We obsess about weather. Add in the fact that some of us are at least part-Texan as well, and… Read more »

I thought doing a round blanket would be a laugh. I thought it would be straightforward — after all, I know the magic ratio you’re supposed to use to keep a circle flat as you go. So of course, I’ve had to pull out several rows several times trying to get the damned thing to behave as the tension changed… Read more »

I’m a nerd, ha ha. I was taking some stuff to punch my headache in the taco, so seeing that the co-codamol had a BL carved into it (for the manufacturer), so adding the ‘ah’ for blah? Genius, honest. ((I amuse easily, and I am more than okay with this)) I’ve got nothing on the books for this weekend, which really,… Read more »

If there is one thing I like about crochet (when I’m actually in the mood to do it) is how quickly it grows. Add in the fact that I am doing this with oddments, and it’s so far so good on keeping me vaguely interested. I won’t be taking it with me to the pub tonight ’cause it requires a… Read more »
