Doomer boomer tendencies. Inordinately fond of sheep.

My first thought was, I can't see the embroidery because that damned decanter is in the way. Nice work, someone.

For today, I'm enjoying the sound of the door banging as the Tories go out. Tomorrow it's back to normal: dissing the guvmint.

Why criticise them for being small? Small is good. Use less materials to build, need less stuff to fill them, less energy to run, more work to maintain. Single, I would happily live in under 30 sq metres. Ugly, and poorly built is the problem, not size.

Lovely writing, but my feet will never set foot in there. It will probably be the death knell for the nearby, locally owned Warehouse. Op shops have been getting expensive, but you CAN still furnish a flat from a tip shop for $100.

They've updated the interface since I last used it. I can't believe it has so little in bulky weight. I'll probably make up a pattern but I should make some fingerless gloves to go with it.

If it was Ravenry the patterns would be in all colours as long as they are black! And my tired old eyes can't cope with knitting black. I'm regretting navy in a Fair Isle cardy I'm trying to knit.

Awesome! Yes, I'd pick Fennel too but it's only in 4 ply. I am in desperate need of a new hat since accidentally shrinking my favourite one. I have some bulky yarn I'm looking for a pattern for.

And build more gothicky churches for the eye to explore. Plain halls and modern architecture are boring.

It happens to the less well-endowed too. I had a favourite bra I was reluctant to throw out, that would stab me when I swivelled around too fast. Had a few embarrassing incidents at work where I suddenly shrieked, grimaced and clutched at my chest . . .

I went back and watched the movie version afterwards. I haven't read the Highsmith novel but I suspect the TV series was more faithful to it than the film.

I hope they weren't paid a lot of money to "moderate". They merely read their preset questions and kept the time. Something anyone with a reading age over ten could have done equally well. Such a bizarre spectacle.

What a misnomer "moderators" was for Tapper and Bash. All they did was read set questions and act as timekeepers.

For some of us, drinking coffee means having to get up and go pee every five minutes. Perhaps that's how this works.

That's so nice that everyone helped you tidy your room. I'm still triggered by the seemingly ever more often rental property inspections. "You're not allowed out until you tidy your room."

In this case the ship missed the pylon by about 760 kilometres but the pylon still fell over. Surely, that must be some sort of record too? As of yet, we have no better explanations for why the pylon fell over, do we?
