Last time I ordered a random jumper, what arrived was NOTHING remotely like what I ordered. (A random pattern featuring chickens, as I recall.)
You'll probably receive a picture of a neighbourhood phone box containing shabby paperbacks!)
How exasperating!
How many history graduates can Reform field, out of interest?
Do you, too, have someone who *Must* open the new thing, whatever it is, and no matter if something else needs finishing first?
Confirming my conviction that librarianship was a pretty good, but not a perfect career fit for me ...
Satin snags so easily ...!
A #KnightInShiningArmour - the #Currys engineer has fixed our washing machine. Hooray!
Which would have been an awful shame 🫠
(gently) Due an optician's appointment??

Decided to eggstend my embroidery repertoire ... nearly done ✔️
I wouldn't dare!!
My own stripey socks. Trying to be more imaginative in my photography ...
#KnittingSocks, 2nd pair. I was going to do gloves next, but need smaller needles. Sigh. So I'll have to do more socks whilst I wait ...

Well ... Sh*t!
It's not a ladies' sized pattern. Now I need to calculate tension and stitches and stuff. Back later!

Old fingerless gloves, gloves, scarf and balaclava knitting pattern
My second ever pair of knitted socks. Finished ✅️
Well, I'll be blowed! Here's an old fingerless gloves pattern. Worth a try, wouldn't you say? To go with my new socks, you know.

Thank you!
(My crochet skills are very basic by comparison!!)
The joined-up toe of the 2nd sock of my second pair. Self-striping yarn in suitably outrageous shades!
Monday afternoon = semi-retirement afternoon.
I think I'm getting the hang of #KitchenerStitch

(I'll try them on when not at risk of criticism!)
Morning!
Exactly 💯
1) Same as right handers. Everyone needs both hands to play.
2) Three cheers for laptops
3) okayyyyy
4) fun!
And what are we left-handers going to do in said club?
Update. Proofreader nonetheless pointed out what was grammatically correct ...
Road to heaven, evidently.
Sunny evening (currently). I'm proofreading something really not in my ballpark. A glass of wine would help...
Reader, there is no wine on the premises.
Ughh. Apparently a proof reader must accept what is neither grammatically correct nor the usage of the company concerned, because this is what the readership expects.

Much welcomed!
However, by doing my innocently housewifely tasks this morning, I have not proofread a magazine issue. Quick, get it open on the laptop ...
Dear God, yesterday I committed the crime of Serving Lunch 15' Early. Today I have already inconvenienced Himself by wanting to put a large duvet cover onto a large duvet, thereby occupying floorspace where I shouldn’t have been. Lunch will, however, be At The Right Time.
Think I should read Job 🤔
Makes them a similar age to my sister and me. I feel OLD!!
I've followed @themerl.bsky.social for at least 8 years, then, from. But visited for the first time yesterday with @calmerfuture.bsky.social. I went especially for their excellent Radical Rural trail. But we also got childishly excited following the rat trail and lingering in the Ladybird gallery.
