Thing maker, verschlimmbesserung maestro, coder. Enthusiast of tea, hats, shiny things, video games, doglets, and Wee Cat. Middle-class woman of a certain age. Weak ankles.
WTAF, lack of exterior drainage *and* lack of action by landlord over several years has made the party wall brickwork so wet that we have what appears to be a cat's claw creeper growing out of the rotten skirting board.

This beats the carpet mushrooms of my old damp flat. Absolutely stunning.

Husband has a CPAP these days as he's old. Tonight it is making a quiet, muffled noise that sounds like the ringing phone at the beginning of The Rockford Files when your parents are watching it downstairs and you're meant to be asleep but you're not because you want to watch The Rockford Files.

I always get the chorus to 'Out in the Fields' by Phil Lynott & Gary Moore in my head when tracking an Amazon delivery, but with 'Amazon's just TWO* stops away' instead of 'Death is just a heartbeat away'.

*Number changes withs amount of stops, obvs.

Went into the real world today and experienced woods and bluebells, as well as a tree totally suitable for weird rituals, should I need to do a weird ritual in the future.

Watching a very tense race going on here, really can't tell who is going to finish first, the 3D print, or the filament.

Not sure my neighbours have had a radioactive incident in the house, as it appears to be getting encased in a Chornobyl-style sarcophagos.
