1911

      No Comments on 1911

But really, it’s hot here. It was, apparently, the hottest September day since 1911; it was the hottest since 1949 when I went out at 4pm, so make of that what you will. *chuckles* And the Brits… one of the things I was super at home with is that the Brits are as obsessed with taking about the weather as… Read more »

Contradiction

I don’t know what the deal is with the atmosphere right now. Ambiance. Whatever the right word is. Everyone else seems to be finding it melting hot (to include my bar of chocolate), but I’m not feeling it? It might be that I’ve got my ceiling fan on high and it’s doing its job admirably. Still. You’d think with the… Read more »

Getting There

Knitting is… slowly progressing today. I keep distracting myself with silly things like kids and work and games, ha ha. Naw like, kids and I made it through the day alive, work got worked, and I’ve made more progress on my knitting today than I probably have in a single day in awhile. And I intend to pick it back… Read more »

And If Yesterday Was Bad…

Today is legit worse. Like, Texas-hot worse — nudging into the 90s. That’s not British at all, hrmph. So of course, I propose we have Stitch ‘n Bitch outside tonight to take advantage of the warmth… so it’s starting to look like rain. Lulz. ¬¬ Still, at least the heat worked out for one thing — Z got out the… Read more »

So like, out of nowhere, it was scalding hot today. I’ve only been outside once, and that was after five to take something to the bin. My plan of ‘don’t move, stay under the fan’ had once again paid off, ha ha. So of course, I was reminded that we were overdue for a planned picnic, and could we have… Read more »

On Tuesday, I got the hankering for tacos in the explosive, tweeting TACOSTACOSTACOS (etc) sort of way. I was amused, and for once, my brain was happy to try and put that into action. Well, it helped that Z had some chicken breasts to hand, as I wanted to try my hand at crockpot chicken taco filling. So then, a… Read more »

Here, have some pictures. First things first, the girls slept the night through together. It wasn’t the most auspicious start because Littlerbit gets shrieky at being ‘abandoned’, but after initial drama, she was in bed until her sister woke up this morning. Can I saw awesome, or awesome? I’m fervently hoping that we see a repeat tonight, so fingers crossed… Read more »

I had forgotten what happens when I cross Batman, the world’s neediest cat, with my lap. I get him putting alllll his weight on his pointy little feet and digging deep into my chubmeats. I just scared him off with a pained hiss because, for some reason, he though getting a claw tangled in my leggings was a great idea…. Read more »

Slowly Packing it In

      No Comments on Slowly Packing it In

Today is our last day of vacation. So instead of doing anything, we’re avoiding the daystar and chilling inside. Is fine by me; even if I wanted to see the wool shop, I’m much happier not moving. My back seized up rather painfully, so I took some Nurofen Plus, and it’s starting to unkink a little. It’s still painful, but… Read more »

It Was Grayer in Person…

But then, that could have been because my glasses were covered in a fine spray. It wasn’t raining per se, but the wind was super-gusty, and it had water in it. I was amused when I took the picture and looked at it properly, ’cause seriously, the wet on my glasses meant that it looked loads darker. At this exact… Read more »
