Though I do hear that they have yarn there. so we'll see how long the project monogamy lasts.

Thank you! I'm sure I'll bore everyone to sobs with photos.

So glad I'm staying with my friend, too: the first 3 days will be recovering from the trip by doing absolutely nothing but sleeping and hanging out with her sheep. And probably taking photos. Mostly of the sheep.

Kind of proud that I'm only bringing one knitting project--using stash yarn!--though of course it's a summer pullover that I designed for the trip. Because there wasn't enough to do to get ready, clearly.

You may. I really, really don't. I turned off autoplay today, when I realized standing in the full blast of the firehose of nightmares that my feed has become piles on despair & anxiety without fixing a damn thing. We need to know, yes. I don't need to have video of it streamed at me on repeat.

Yeah, I've done that now, but appreciate you mentioning it.

Yes, you can turn off autoplay. I've now done that. But good gravy, man, just...why would you do that?

Look, I don't want to be a jerk here, but if you're posting about something horrific, and you know it (hence the trigger warning, I assume), could you please consider not attaching a video on a site that autoplays video?

Where do I sign up?

Yeah, BC's Attorney General had something to say about it (and Hootsuite), too: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Well, shit. So much heartbreak in such a short time. I'm so sorry.

Wow! That's absolutely gorgeous. So impressive!

What do you mean, 'pretend'?

Yeah, he was a good one. Alas for posterity, the error was caught before it went further than the sustainability engineer & my boss.

Of course, getting stuck into this less than 2 weeks before a month-long trip is absolutely true to form. 🙄

Just the one? Admirable restraint.

Holy heck, happy birthday! Speaking from the other side of 50, do let me know how the being a real adult thing goes. I fear mine was lost in the mail.

Rain so dense you can't see across the street! Is this the day the hillside decides to move to lower ground, taking your home with it? I guess we'll find out!

We lived in a triplex set into a hill in Southside; our deal with our neighbours was: tornado, we go down. Flood, they come up.

If you can't stand drizzle, the wet coast is not the place for you, to be sure.

I really, really miss thunderstorms, though.
