Adding butter beans to the shopping list! I might go for fried tomatoes on toast 🍅

No cheese today and a very fussy baby post-jabs👎

I’m making a bib for my daughter from my son’s old t-shirt that got ripped at nursery. Imperfect and unfinished for today, but I am really enjoying the 15 mins switch off for sewing after the kids are asleep and the house has been reset.

At the sewing table, an unfinished craft project lays on a cutting mat. It’s a baby’s bib, with a tomato pattern.

Anyway I had a KIT day today but hilariously (argh) my email address / computer login was suspended because I hadn’t logged in in three months. No shit! 😆

Kerry @kerryleslie.bsky.social · 2d

I need to go to sleep but I have so many things I want to google.

Everyday: Is this joke bad or is it my autism?

Oh no. Am I supposed to do that? I know I’m supposed to oil my chopping board and I have (and will) never. I just hope for the best (in everything).

Three wake ups already by the nearly 5yo (night terror, then too hot, then too cold) and one wake up by the baby (standard baby behaviour). Bracing ourselves for a sleepless night - and I’m at work tomorrow for a KIT day 😅

It’s reversible!

While the kids are asleep (miracle), Phil’s out at a community meeting and I’ve sewn a Batman crown 👑

Fabric crown with a Batman pattern, on a sewing cutting mat, baby monitor is half in the picture, and a printer is half in the picture too.

Welcoming a new hobby into our home courtesy the Woolfs! Thanks @max.woolf.io, I promise to look after it (and use it!)

34 years of hard use, a few coffee spills and 7 exams later, it’s time to say goodbye to this lovely piano. (New one on the way…)

I’ll miss you buddy 😢

That’s great to hear! It must have been marked as urgent.

Reported this fallen sign on Friday and it’s been fixed today 😁 (high five to FixMyStreet.com) it was at eye level and it wouldn’t have been long before someone walked into it.

Pushchair on pavement in foreground, background shows a street sign which has fallen to eye level.
