The cat is normally quite aloof and doesn't care for company, particularly from me.

Just spent a week away and she doesn't seem to want to leave my side

Two exciting things have happened over this weekend.

Firstly we are now the owners of a Royal Python, name yet to be determined as my oldest keeps changing her mind

I came across a crochet design for this silly thing, made it and now I think I need to make 10 more

Forms handed in and I am now the @greenparty.org.uk candidate for the Bracebridge Heath council by-election

I've not been to many gigs the past few years due to young kids, the ones I've been to I've been able to get tickets from the venue website.

Had to use Ticketmaster for the first time in years tonight to book to see PUP and Jesus Christ almost £20 just on fees

Today we've adopted a second dog. This is Roy, he's a little softie and you'd have no idea he'd lived half his life abandoned outdoors

I now own the best pair of slippers

My biggest question from my Spotify wrapped is what the hell is the difference between Nerdy Stakeboarding Ska Punk and Vampire Early Reggae Ska.

Had a trip down to Nottingham to see Laura Jane Grace last night.

I've taken up crochet recently for something relaxing as a wind down in the evening.

My first project is a scarf for my oldest daughter. It's not perfect, but as a first attempt I'm happy with my progress.

We have new lizards, a pair of emerald tree skinks. This one is Obi-Wan. He obviously loves the high ground.

The second Anakin is shy and a pain to get a good picture of

Given Tiamat's vivarium a complete makeover tonight. Lots of new live plants and new features. Hopefully a very happy lizard
