Look what I got! It's like a giant fidget toy. Also pictured: the timetable, which has eaten my brain completely. No brain left.
(I'm down to "only" 80 staffing clashes now, with all the year groups in.)

I love the look of my hair when it's dyed. I haaaaate the process of getting there. Also hate b,the finding of random patches of vaseline that I missed e.g. behind my ears.

I don't mind washing my hair in the winter, but I do mind having to spend 10 minutes with the alien egg on my head.

Had an excellent weekend away in Liverpool, ostensibly to get B and her two Larp buddies together, but it turns out all us adults get along well too, in the best neurodiverse sort of way. It was Heckin' Windy, so we stayed in except only briefly walking to see some Gormleys in the sea.

Would rather spend all day out walking, but just my lunch break will do. (i guess.)

I have finally redyed my hair. I hate my haircut, I told the hairdresser I wanted to still be able to pull it back into a ponytail, which I can, if all I wanted was a little nub. (For reference, it was long enough to put into a bun before. I'm told the haircut is nice, but I hate it for myself.

In other news, it was the right combo of mild and wet for me to wear the bonkers raincoat I made.

Archie and I were reminiscing last night about how, in my first trip here, we and a couple of others badgered the author whose book we met through to hang out in London with us.

I went back and found my old #DuvetKnowItsChristmas posts. Not much has changed since 2019, which is... Nice in a way? It's nice to be taken care of at Christmas. Best wishes to all. (2018, 2019, 2023 (curtains open))

There is a lot that is wrong with the world, but it can't be all bad if I got to spend a Saturday dressed like this and being a bit spoopy to LARP kids. (I wasn't actually a threat to them and was quite a silly type of monster.)

The following weekend I get to go live my Best Nerd Life. (And camp. I hope it's dry, we've been mostly lucky so far.)
