Love is Mint

      No Comments on Love is Mint

There’s a certain sort of mint Turkish delight that my in-laws like, and one that’s somewhat difficult to get any of it due to how quickly it sells out in their candy shop of preference. They’d sent me a box via Z a few days ago, which made me smile. It also made me quip that it was the time… Read more »

Vampires, Innit

      No Comments on Vampires, Innit

Say what you will for or against, Sims 4, but it sure is purdy. And I have to say that I am finding the vampire mechanics a lot of fun. They were overpowered to the point of boring in Sims 3, especially when you could buy the lifetime wish that made them immune to sunlight. There’s some mechanic for it… Read more »

No Sun For You!

      No Comments on No Sun For You!

As I am writing this, parts of the United Kingdom are able to catch a very teensy partial eclipse off of the one that just crossed the United States. So, of course, we have total cloud coverage, ha ha. Z reminded me that we *did* get a 90%-er a few years ago that I’d miscategorised in my brain as a… Read more »

Love Is (Edible)

Last night, Z sent me a link to something he was thinking of buying. I said yes, and that’s why we have a freaking display rack of 200 Chupa Chups in the house. I mean, come on, what could be cooler? And he did the math and it comes in at about 12 pence a lolly, so it’s good value… Read more »

All Shiny and New

      No Comments on All Shiny and New

I awoke this morning to the sound of construction going on outside. I don’t know *why* exactly, but it made me smile. Why was loud noise gonna make me smile, ha ha. It turns out it was something to smile about — the new streetlights are going in. They’re LED and can be individually adjusted and all sorts of shiny… Read more »

Sunlight Dreamer

      No Comments on Sunlight Dreamer

Today’s picture comes compliments of actually going outdoors, ha ha. The kids were over visiting their grandparents, so Z and I took the tape measure outside to get a loose idea of what we’re working with in regards to the near future refurbishments. Our base plan involves taking down a dangerous old wall and replacing it with a fence, but… Read more »

Impulse Goooood

Z and I do the vast majority of our grocery shopping online for delivery. We tend to start in the discount section, which means that we get some things we’d probably not get otherwise. One of mine this most recent shop was cinnamon rolls, which nobody regrets. We all had one as a post-dinner treat and were well received. It… Read more »

Stretch

      No Comments on Stretch

I can confirm that the first top I blocked took on the extra inches. It would be nice if it was even a bit longer, but it does the job of happily covering my squishy tum-tum. I was also able to put a little more give into the neckline, which I made the mistake of not doing as a stretchy… Read more »

Stage One: Done

      No Comments on Stage One: Done

I cast off on the front half of my top a little bit ago, and started casting on for the back half. Then it was dinner time and now I’m just sort of a fooded blob of zoning out. I can’t say that I mind, not really. It’s a comfortable place to be. I can hope it translates to better… Read more »

Renewal

      No Comments on Renewal

Before we moved in, there was quite a bit of work that needed to be done before it was ‘habitable’. The wiring hadn’t been updated since the 60s, and most of the rooms needed some degree of redecoration. In that, Z’s parents were a huge help (and with enabling us to make the move in general). There was also assorted… Read more »
