Semi-feral neurodivergent yarn goblin on wheels.
Unapologetically British English speaking.
Current projects are as unknowable as the deepest sky.
Yup. It’s amazing what it can do. Even acrylic fibres break down at unbelievably fast rates. It’s almost the worst offender after months - you can at least wash dust and smells away.

I’ve already seen one YouTuber putting all her yarn in a (gappy) glass cabinet right next to a muslin curtained window. I suspect she will get a shock at some point - it’s amazing how little time sunlight takes to bleach and weaken fibres.

I’m so glad. I will keep an eye out for real cedar oil! Tq.

It’s more that it keeps everything out where I can see it and plan properly. I have a terrible case of “out of sight out of mind” and all attempts to keep some kind of database have failed miserably!

But yes, too moth burned not to wrap everything up safely!

Ooooh, Oli on paper towels? I wonder if that would be better than the plastic moth gadgets? (They work, but you know, plastic) thank you for the genius idea!

Ah, a fellow yarn dragon I see 🤣

What still makes me laugh is that abled people will still blithely utter “I wish I could stay home all day!”.
As if they didn’t fight like rabid dogs to stay ‘normal’. As if they didn’t object to paying folks to be off work. As if they didn’t loose their damn minds in mere weeks of lockdown.

The sad thing is, if they done this, the third would have been called “You Can’t Hide”, been absolutely terrifying and hopefully featured a Lauren Hill cameo.

ADHD over here too and it’s always a bit of a giggle. Especially the memory lane of obsession songs. I don’t use Spotify though, so it’s not a bargain with the devil (just a minor demon called iTunes)
I think I’ll miss it a bit when I finally manage to switch to a DAP & buying physical media again.

I asked for a non urgent appointment today - 27th of January. It’s not just your surgery. I’m sure Streetings great new AI app will cure it all though! 🙄

People are still asking what ‘that’ is. I’d lower your expectations for your own preservation 😅

I’m happy for you that you were never forced too till now. And sorry that I was the one to point it out.

I straight up discounted one of her songs for using the word Daddy in *that* context.

Though…

It does raise the horrifying possibility of there having been father/daughter dances to it.

I mean considering the atmosphere in which all of the Buckingham/Nicks era songs were made it’s astonishing any of them are actually appropriate for weddings.

But (as AI is currently proving) the human race is not a detail oriented one.
