So, uh, you'll never guess what song is keeping me awake at 5am. They're not even doing it any more!
[I hope the guys aren't having the same problem - but I can't imagine that even the song going round and round would outweigh their exhaustion.]

#HowLongAthon for #SU2C absolutely incredible feat by @alexhorne.bsky.social & @thehornesection.bsky.social. So many ppl saying it better than me so I can only echo their sentiments of admiration + respect.
Especially those final few hrs then still being able to perform in the studio. Astonishing.

Ah. Perils of keeping a dish of salt* within arm's reach - spilling it on the bed. That's annoying.

Haaaaaahahahahahahaha tried Tunisian crochet with thread (the same thread I used for the pineapple bookmark). All I can say is, yeah no, don't do that. It *Does Not Work*.

Just got to the Seven/Chakotay storyline and remembered why I hate it so viscerally - it came from *nowhere*. Literally feels like there are several episodes missing.
I'm not sure I'd like the pairing anyway even if they'd done it properly, but this way is just so jarring.

Every time I see the title I start singing "We're all in, 'cos we all win with Allwyn, Allwyn for the win … "
(I think I might explode with joy if John Finnemore did Taskmaster.)

Last call for tickets to the screening of ‘All In: Chesham United’ this Friday! Join us for a Q&A with the managers and Taskmaster games with me, Little Alex Horne. See you there!

Making your content and information accessible is viewed as a nice thing to do. And it is.
But this World Kindness Day, we wanted to remind everyone that access to information is a human right. We shouldn't need to keep asking for it, it's simply how it should be.

Pineapple bookmark, in the end. Not too sure about the tail but ran out of time for anything else.
Crocheted w/ Anchor Perle #8, and 2mm hook (thank you new hooks!).
[Blocked, blocking (appropriately enough using pins previously for bobbin lace which I've not done for yrs), and before blocking.]

My brain is mush after today's excursion but, yay 😊
The Last Pebble is the first book I've managed to finish since becoming ill 🥹 Got to have a really nice chat with Alex Horne this time. He's somehow even lovelier than I realised.
Trains and staff all being great were a fantastic bonus!

Why is it so hard to photograph crochet without the stitches blurring into each other?!
[Scrappy test pineapple, but I forgot bookmarks are supposed to have a tail of some kind. (And I haven't dealt with the ends yet, clearly.)]

Recently the water from our taps has been coming out aerated (which is fine, it calms down after a bit). But it's very unnerving hearing my water bottle, or water I've drawn to refill my little kettle, fizzing! 🙈

Just realised in words that I need 3-5 days to get into the mindset of needing to do something significant (such as responding to a message in depth, or washing my hair) if it's not an event in my routine. Longer if it's a bigger deal like going out.
That's some major inertia 😅

If sellers on eBay are clearly businesses but registered as a private seller, I won't buy from them.
Similarly on Etsy, I won't buy from sellers drop-shipping mass-produced stuff masquerading as 'handmade', nor from anyone using AI-generated designs.
[Serious? Not sure. Pretty niche though.]

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Was just thinking how remarkable it is that the same series that gave us the teeth (yes, *those* ones) also gave us the twins. Then I remembered it also gave us teat-suckling … and we're only halfway through.

Wow.
1st hook that arrived: 'oh yes, that's MUCH better.'
2nd hook (cheaper of the two) that arrived later: 'WOW!'
… Followed in a short while by '🤯 I never knew it was supposed to be this easy!!'
I am stunned, thrilled, elated, and a tiny bit confused about how it can be such a huge difference!

Also reached a tipping point realising I need to try better hooks. Always struggled with slip stitching and thought my tension was too tight or it was the yarn or whatever - well both of those are sorted and it's still extremely difficult, so ordered a couple of reputable hooks to try.
