All my fabric files are now available to view in my Dropbox folder! tinyurl.ee/AXhGY These can all be printed onto almost any type of fabric, and because I own the files they will never be out of stock 🥰

I have been given an A+ in surgery recovery! Been told I still need to take things gently but I got the surgical tapes off and I'm allowed to ride my bike again.

5yo has just explained to me that at school she learns lots of funny jokes like how to say 6 7 in a funny way.

How it feels when you're the victim of seriously dangerous driving as a cyclist and TVP and the PCC don't care

My wife has explained that her shower thoughts today were assigning each Numberblock from 1 to 10 into Hives from Terra Ignota. Then she made me listen to the list.
This is probably my most niche post to date. @krfabian.bsky.social you are my best shot at passing this curse onwards.

"Mummy, what noise does a triceratops make?"
"Well, no one actually knows because they lived so long ago."
"But what do you think though?"
*Rarrrrggh!*?
"NO, Mummy! That was a PTERODACTYL!" 😡

Earlier, 5yo came upstairs with a notebook she wouldn't let me look at, carefully read me a list of foods and told me she was a waitress taking my order. So I ordered at random.
"I will report it to the chef," she said, very seriously.

There is a protracted bedtime negotiation going on upstairs.
Ellie: "It really is time to put on your pyjamas now."
5yo: "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY LONGER!"

5yo has currently decided that what she really wants to watch during afterschool TV time is Baby Jake.
I fear this is so niche that only a couple of people ( @climbinguphills.bsky.social ? @marykmac.bsky.social ? @emilykerr36.bsky.social ?) will understand my pain.

Ellie just picked up a couple of Polly Pockets from Marketplace for a 5yo Xmas present. And they have weird legs now?? 😯 Like, their top half is solid but then they have silicone wibbly legs?? WHAT IS THIS

"Mummy, the code to make me go back to bed is to give me more toys. That is the code, Mummy. Do you want me to go back to bed? Because you need to crack my code. You need to. The code is that I need more toys. Mummy."

I have suddenly remembered an FB parenting group where a US mum had an absolute rant having just found that European parents put their babies in bags to sleep. It was both baffling and very funny. I think she was picturing, like, a duffle bag with the zip done up, but she wouldn't stop to listen 😂
We may be making a decision to ditch the duvet and put our child back in a bag. They have bags with legs now!

Doesn't this absolutely sum up everything
Cllr Gant continues: “The Tories have called for free Park & Rides before; here they are. Labour have called for better buses; here they are – ‘We want less congestion, we want better public transport, but only if we don’t have to do anything about it.’ ”

Wife has successfully collected 5yo from grandparents! (Met at halfway train point.) She was greeted by an excited and detailed explanation of how vending machines work 🥰

Safety wings! Made from cotton, reflective tech fabric, and layers of quilted poly batting and interfacing. Mine have performed perfectly in 20 mile rides and pouring rain.
Can also do dragon wings! £90, each set made custom.

I don't know why I'm always really surprised by the realisation that I'm really bad at recognising I'm in pain?
... the fact I've discovered this multiple times over my life says it all, really.
This post brought to you by, "why is it so hard to get to sleep?" Umm a mystery here.

The Kobo app on my phone is so useless and I hate it. It keeps crashing if it's been more than an hour or so since I opened it and needs to be rebooted.
