You probably know me for my bird illustrations and sewing stuff, and maybe dinner, but on this profile I'm just me, for the social side.
There's a business me too, if you know where to look.

Some young guy on the street just tried to approach me on the street (I think to ask for money).
“Um hi, I couldn’t help noticing your/you’re [eyes casting about to find something to comment on, takes in my arm in its full compression sleeve and glove] pretty!”
Me: TY, my husband thinks so too.

I’m not a fan of things being passed under urgency, but I think I’d be ok if they wanted to do it for this Bill, all things considered.

I’m really bad at remembering my friends’ birthdays at the wrong time of day to be able to politely message them, but my high school bestie has gone to London for her 50th so now I look like the super-thoughtful friend who even remembered to account for timezones! 💅🏻

Well I guess I’m not going to be annoyed any more that my GP practice doesn’t upload any docs to MMH, they just copy and paste the relevant text into lab results (and not for everything, I think it only happens if it’s easy, because I’ve got nothing in there from some specialists).

If nibling is the gender neutral term for your siblings offspring, what is the gender neutral term for you (the sibling of the parents of said offspring)?

So far I’ve spent the first day on holiday in bed, and have made the sensible decision that a solo road trip while R works from his mum’s home is not the best idea.
I thought I was finally getting my energy back into balance after catching Covid in July 2024.
(Days in bed Is how I balance.)

I need everyone who sees this to keep a look out for the following shawls. They were lost by FedEx on the way to Barcelona Knits, and have been declared "unrecoverable".

Had my first publicly funded lymphoedema appointment today, after 5 1/2 years living with this condition.
Got absolutely soaked despite my tramping grade raincoat (thanks Wellington weather) but the good news is that new research since my initial diagnosis means I have updated self-care techniques.

I’m in a conversation about dogs and how they can make people (including myself) anxious, but I just want to balance it out a bit, because some dogs are actually deep down very good boys or girls.
So a couple of stories. TW: death of parents, last week was the anniversary for both Mummy and Daddy.

This is pretty much the exact thing that basically stops me buying anything anytime I've had to go to the USA - I never actually know how much anything is going to cost.
In answer to @shinylion.bsky.social's question, the easy solution is to display prices to consumers with the sales tax included.

The problem here (and I’m hoping smart people are working on it) is the sales tax which changes from town to town and county to county and state to state.
$8.05 + 8.25 % sales tax = $8.714125
How will that be rounded off?

I’m trying to get a sense of whether a quote is reasonable for somewhat urgent work…
If you’ve had a low-pressure hot water cylinder replaced with an external heat-pump ready (not necessarily included) one recently in Wellington/Lower Hutt, would you mind sharing the approximate cost?
