In 19 hours I'll be taking the stage for my first ever solo #poledance performance and I'd like all 3 of my followers to know that if it goes well I'm going to be absolutely insufferable about it. There will be a small crumb of humble but a whole load of I'M FUCKING AWESOME. But only if it goes well

Badger Cam caught a ghost tonight

Digby Badger is much better behaved but looks incredibly spooky in the rain

Me: I saw the fox drinking out of that water bowl which accidentally got left outside, I'll leave it out for him as I'm so kind, but I'll put it by the camera so I can get a cute view of him using it

I'm crocheting blankets for the local cat charity to sell, of course I've got to use the cat stitch to make them! Fellow crocheters, this is a great way to use up your yarn stash, try out new patterns, and have an excuse buy yarn to replace your depleted stash!

Sonic 3 was fucking awesome in every single way. Also, I watched it in a cinema with recliner sofas and I might just end up being a spoiled brat and wanting to go there for every cinema visit. As an extra bonus it's also just across the road from Nando's!

Yes I did crochet my cat some replacement ears and let me tell ya this, he bloody loves them! (I think his head is cold where the vet had to shave it and the fur hasn't grown back yet)
Should I make him a cardigan?

In other news, my cat's ear nubbins are healing nicely! And the histology report has confirmed that there was no cancer present! Although there was some sort of degenerative disease mucking with the cartilage. It's a relief to know that removal was the right course of action for my poor baby.

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Umineko looks at Yodaka 🥰

Shinobi Undercover is still hitting the spot for me every week, and this budding bromance brings me so much joy 😊

My pole dance nemesis move is Ayesha. Our monthly combo contained not one, but two! I was unable to do it and had a massive confidence knock. Gave just an Ayesha a try on Tuesday and did it! And then managed to do a straight edge! It's pretty wonky but still, I did it!!! #littlevictories

Sometimes you need to build yourself a cute little witchy cottage in the woods with a magical glowing mushroom path and sometimes you need to breed an army of monster lizards and set them on unsuspecting villages. Today I did both. It's called self-care. #Valheim

Stacking stuff out of the way for a few minutes and this guy decides he wants to use that cat bed for the first time in months (I lifted him down before physics noticed and threw some gravity at him). I love him but he is so dumb.

Shinobi Undercover is giving serious Sakamoto Days vibes and I cannot emphasise enough how much of a good thing that is, and Ichi the Witch is doing a great job of filling the Black Clover hole in my heart every week. Hoping that they're both going to survive the axe! (Sorry Hakutaku)

Dragonscape blanket, mosaic crochet pattern from Abi McIntyre (Get Yer Hook On). To me, this is Rhodry flying over Aberwyn (Katherine Kerr's Deverry series). The first blanket I've made purely for myself in my many years of crochet!
