Aww

Smalls has always been a bit reserved, and that includes how she’s related to our cats. She tried to pet them when she was very little, but it was less pet and more LET ME JUMP AT YOU, which yanno… cats don’t like. So they’ve not had a lot to do with her and vice versa. I managed to cajole… Read more »

Stratford in Passing

      No Comments on Stratford in Passing

When we went a-visiting yesterday, the satnav sent us through the centre of Stratford for some random reason. We were lucky that it wasn’t too crowded, and I got to smile at the fact so many of the buildings have this sort of look that I associate with the first Elizabethan era. Today has been… well. I slept in a… Read more »

The North Remembers

      No Comments on The North Remembers

In the UK, it is said that the north of the country begins after the Watford Gap services on the M1. Ergo, every time we go past the services and start seeing the signs for THE NORTH, I tend to have a chuckle and a mock scream about being in the north for a few minutes before we change roads… Read more »

(With special thanks to my friend Lori for accidentally gifting me tonight’s title) When I went to bed last night, I was coughing my head up. When I woke up, my head had returned, but only as a vessel for snot. I’ve mainly felt better though. I’ve not been as dizzy, nor have I felt quite as foggy. Having said… Read more »

On reflection, I probably should have stayed in last night. Yes, I had fun, and I made progress on a blanket square, but I woke up this morning with a bit of a sore throat. That’s still there (though improved by repeated moistenings), and my head has just floated off to Fluffland. I think that my plan for tonight is… Read more »

Two Times

      No Comments on Two Times

Today, I found out one of my co-workers refers to the IT guy as ‘Two Times’ — based on the fact that it seems to take him two times to fix a problem. All I know is that I’m annoyed (dis is annoyed face) because I have worked really hard to get my ‘chores’ done quickly so that I could… Read more »

Hello, Goodbye

      No Comments on Hello, Goodbye

My new phone arrived today! It’s amazing what a difference a couple of years can make in the world of technology. I was happy with my old one (A Moto G2) until about a month ago, when it started to go obnoxiously slow. And I was getting really effin’ bored at having to delete half the contents of the phone… Read more »

Fifth

Yesterday was a delightfully productive day, knitting wise. I finished off the last couple rows on the red section, and did a few rows on the blue. Considering each row is 370~ stitches, that’s a lot of work around. And I’ve managed to get a few more rows done today, which has been well pleasing. I got all my chores… Read more »

Nice While It Lasted

When I came down this morning, Z mentioned there had been two or three flakes of snow, but nothing interesting. I shrugged — the weather had randomly forecast heavy snow yesterday that hadn’t shown up, so I didn’t expect anything today. So I was well surprised when it started snow. I was surprised when it started to stick. It probably… Read more »

I have bupkis to say today. I’ve got a slight cold, I am slightly cold, and I’m gaming my little heart out. I continue to enjoy having an even prettierĀ Diablo III experience, as one might expect. My backup game is the originalĀ Civilization. Yup, the one that started it all back in 1991, it still has its charms even now. Really,… Read more »
