Not Getting My Hopes Up, But…

      No Comments on Not Getting My Hopes Up, But…

But it looks like the second sock might be a spot-on match to the first, colour-wise. I don’t know if this is going to carry true through the rest of it, but the start is looking promising. Still, even if it doesn’t, I’m not fussed. Part of the joy of making your own socks is how uniquely yours they are…. Read more »

Voila!

First things first — sock the first of my current pair is done! I finished it last night at the pub, and declared myself god for managing Kitchener stitch with people around. *giggles* I’m happy with it though. It fits nicely, it looks good, and is super comfortable. I’m slowly casting on for the second one, but I keep getting… Read more »

First of all, I apologise if you didn’t get the snazziness of a featured image today. For some reason, I can’t get the gallery to accept uploads. I don’t know if there’s something down at Dreamhost, or something down at our end, but whatever. You still get a picture here at least? Of course, today’s picture comes to you compliments… Read more »

Fly Away

Today’s cringe-worthy subject line comes to you compliments of the yarn being used. The shade is called ‘Pegasus‘, so yanno, wings, har har. I couldn’t resist it though, because besides being a pretty colourway, my high school mascot was the Pegasus. Well, my home town had a thing with Pegai in general.. ‘For those who grew up in Dallas, Pegasus… Read more »

Drip Drip Drop

Seeing how we’re creeping up on summertime here, the UK remembers its place in the world, and the rain is chucking it down. I would have not minded, except for the school run. So I took pain meds. I put Deep Heat on my stiff knees. I shook out my raincoat and got my head into the right space to… Read more »

Fade Into You

      No Comments on Fade Into You

I’m still tired. And, bemusingly, eating like I’ve not had a meal in days. I had a huge chunk of leftover shepherd’s pie for lunch, and a ginormous kebab + chips for dinner. I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised. After all, I’ve been ill enough the past week or so that I find myself shaking. That is definitely lessened… Read more »

Natural Light!

Eurovision time, just about! Smallhausen and I went to the train station to pick up our friend Jezebelle. I was oddly nervous about making the trip as I had never driven that way on my own, but it was fine. I had a laugh ’cause I second-guessed which way I was going and went the wrong way at one point,… Read more »

Progress in Motion

Today, the glorious racket outside continued as the BT Openreach team continued to get the cabinet on our street installed and upgraded. I’m not exactly sure what they were doing, but it required them digging up part of the road (again). They were repaving it when I went to get Littler from school, and on the way back. I smiled… Read more »

A Cavalcade of Colour

I have been most grateful today that I have not had to go anywhere or do much of anything. I got Littler to take a nap, I got some work done that the office needed doing, and basically managed to not catch on fire, ha ha. I feel mainly human-shaped for going out tonight, so yay for that as well…. Read more »

Fifty Gold Stars

      No Comments on Fifty Gold Stars

I managed at needed bath today. I’ve declared myself to be bedecked in 50 gold stars in celebration of this achievement. I also managed some amount of work, child retrieval and care, and writing a long overdue check-in for The Scarlet B. It might not be covering oneself in glory for most people, but  yanno, it is for me. 🙂… Read more »
