@pinkbunny.bsky.social Plans for Saturday night?

Madame is rather enjoying the newish TV Interview With A Vampire.

I want to know why we can't have Interview With A Wombat. Also creatures of the night. But with less angst than vampires. Probably.

Every year on #Halloween we carve a #Pumpkin from our collection of Penguin Books. 🎃

We're up to our elbows here in juicy plots and seedy characters. Luckily there's not much pulp fiction. 🎃

Part of the problem when you have to read via audio books. If you can't find something in a library & have to buy it & it turns out to be rubbish then you can't just give it away or send it to a charity shop. Deleting seems wasteful. The file just lurks, mockingly unfinished 😬

Madame is fair proud of herself. Gave a couple of previously unfinished books another chance before she hunts for new books & made it to the ends. However she did sleep through quite a lot of one book & has no idea what actually happened in the other one 😬

Talk about adding insult to injury - looking after 🤢 Madame, dealing with extremely patchy interknit & THEN THE BOOK WE ARE LISTENING TO FEATURES A SQUIRREL ARMY 😡 If anyone wants me, I shall be under my pillow 😬

Madame & our interknit connection are currently in a fight to the death to be the most wobbly & unreliable. I am an unimpressed old bear.

@tourguideted.bsky.social *flaps paw* hope you are doing okay

A quick hello, Bluesky.

Hello, Bluesky.

Been rather busy looking after Madame recently.

She is currently dealing with disappointment cause she accidentally opened up the #BTPosse only feed & for an exciting few minutes the world was only terrier related matters 👍

A Gentle Rain is definitely winning for foggy brain compatible game play. Can be played by one person. Satisfyingly sturdy tiles & pretty wooden counters. Simple instructions. Which begin with excellent advice - "Get comfortable..."

So we have read the rules for Floral. Then read them again. Then watched people playing a game. Then read the rules again.

The cards are very pretty.

A little treat for Foggy Brain.

Both games are lovely to look at. So far "A Gentle Rain" is much easier to understand. Only issue so far is that the tiles can spread out so needs a bit of space. A gentle sitting on the floor on a rainy day relaxation.

@pinkbunny.bsky.social @larabbit.bsky.social I think one of you once asked about theme parks here. This just turned up in our recommendeds.

So Disney might have all their attractions but do they have monkeys & mini golf? 😬👍

We've been waiting for a less fatigued moment to watch this. Books 'n' Cats is literary exploration like a satisfy slice of a good rich carrot cake & a particular joy when Angela Carter gets a mention 👍

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

Today Madame managed to mop the kitchen floor & stopped herself from telling someone they should be pickled so future generations can study a genuine 21st century idiot. She's proper proud of herself 👍

We have a visitor. Not saying he's a bit fancy but he has arrived with demands for a massage & a rest day.

If you can't visit Glasgow or aren't able to clatter up all the stairs, then this is a rather charming walk around The Tenement House & an introduction to Agnes Towards who lived here.

New music from Ellie Minibot is good news. A cover this time & sung with Shoomimi. A very beautiful, soothing & slightly melancholy song.

We were going to watch the SciShow's knitting video but luckily we held off & the real knitting scientists are coming out to frog them right back to their cast on. Particularly like this lady's response - yes, knitting can cloth you, exercise your brain & hide your wartime secrets 🧶
Hank Green has ticked off knitters??? What happened??
