Satisfying wins in #Knitting = successfully *not* dropping any stitches during multi-row increase rounds.
My sense of relief is palpable. Using stitch markers has helped my knitting in ways I had never foreseen.

Most enjoyable first day of 2023, after a slap up breakfast with friends, we went for a
long amble in local botanic gardens, then a meander along the river and now home for lazy dinner of cheese, crackers leftovers + beer. #StartAsYouMeanToGoOn

After a leisurely walk this morning, I've spent a deliciously restful afternoon reading back copies of NZ Geo magazines, amidst both napping & snacking. #HappyHolidays
Overdue Xmas present to myself.
Blocked and deleted phone & email contacts for family member who behaved badly at Xmas gathering. I won't be attending any future family events with them.
I finally figured out why they are so mean, and while I feel sympathy for them, I finally acknowledged and accepted that I don't want them in my life.
Feel a significant weight lifted off my shoulders.
Annalee Newitz 🍜On the latest episode of It's Been a Minute, journalists Brittany Luse and Jason Parham talk about the history of #BlackTwitter and why they would rather see it migrate to a giant group chat instead of Mastodon. A smart, insightful conversation -- and a reminder that unfortunately Mastodon still has a reputation for being unusable. #podcasts #blackmastodon #usability https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/there-is-no-twitter-without-black-twitter/id1250180134?i=1000590077428
In the meantime I am distracting myself with "what other jobs could I do for money?" and "what unaffordable houses are there on the market today?" ...
Finally made it through November, an incredibly jam-packed work month.
Just have to make it through two more busy work days before things *finally* ease off back to regular workload.
Missed the knitting deadline for friends birthday present, so it is now going to be an unexpected Christmas present for them! #AlmostFinished #WIP #Knitting
Nope. S3.E2. B+T reunion. Nope. I am not here for this plot twist.
Thoughts @skeskali ?
So grateful that a work colleague sent group email today about having found a pair of glasses in a random meeting room last week.
I couldn't for the life of me remember where I'd left them, and had turned my house inside out over the weekend thinking "they have to be here somewhere!".
Was just about to organise replacement pair when email arrived in my in box. Phew.
