Just managed to watch Channel 4's Game of Wool - and, eh. Vibes seem a bit off. Watching contestants knit with tree trunks isn't it for me, sadly 🙁 (And most of the cast don't seem to be having fun at all, these poor people!)

Had a really lovely day writing. Also, punched myself in the nose while getting dressed this morning and accidentally scratched the living daylights out of my left nostril, so I think that's just the world righting itself.
