@sheepnik@toot.wales

Perpetually earwormed, easily amused 40-something. More of a sheep-poster than a shitposter. (There's a slightly more serious bio in my pinned posts, if you're really interested.)

I don't usually follow people with blank profiles, excessive boosting or lots of politics. I much prefer to see a person's (anonymous or not) posts than lots of links.

Follows locked to reduce spam, but I will usually approve requests. DMs open to people I follow only.

One little elephant is about to go on an adventure of a lifetime.

(In case you weren't aware, every household in Wales is provided with a dragon of some description. They carry out a variety of tasks, including delivery of small items.)

I met a very friendly void while I was out. I stopped by one bench to say hello, then when I stood up to move on, the void scampered down to the next bench to make sure it was in prime petting position as I passed,

If I say at some point in the future that I'm going to knit another elephant, please tell me it's a really bad idea and wouldn't the recipient prefer a chicken instead.

@emmaaum But no chicken onesies either 😂

@emmaaum It may be cute, but it's not something I want to knit.

I took these photos this morning, pottering around in the garden while waiting for my coffee to brew.

Looking down into the centre of a purple iris, which has some drops of water on the petals.

Opened my work email and now I’m having an anxiety attack 🙃

@RolloTreadway @purplepadma And definitely not on a Friday night. It's against the law!

One elephant is looking on as another one comes into being. Surely this can't be how baby elephants are formed?

I just harvested my first strawberry.

@emmaaum Have you managed to sort out your herbs yet?

I am mostly over the cough / lurgy that I had the other week, apart from one thing: my tongue is now really sensitive to getting crumbs or small bits of food on it, which makes me cough. This makes eating more difficult than normal. I'd be quite happy if this would stop.

This is a bit of a first world problem I know, but let me whinge. I used the last of my preferred type of dental floss this morning, and I when I went to order some more a little while ago, I found out that it has changed and is quite different. So now I have to look for new dental floss, and I'm not looking forward to this, as there's so many types of floss that make my teeth feel weird in different ways.

Why isn't there a dental floss comparison website? There is for virtually everything else, and it would save me spending money on something that is not going to work because it's too waxy or too thin etc etc.

@alexisbushnell I might have to give it a go.

@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@Beedazzled I've not heard anything along those lines.

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@alexisbushnell Yeah, I have a terrible gag reflex so it can be quite difficult at times to clean my teeth, especially the back ones. If I don't find anything in the shops, I can ask my dental hygienist what he uses when I see him next month.

@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@thebaywindowgirl @alexisbushnell I haven't, though I know many people really like them.

is all about this week - the physical copies of our favourite music. I'm going with this homemade compilation that was my introduction to the music of Chris Knox, which was sent to me by someone I met on Usenet back when I was in university. While I don't listen to the actual tape anymore, and I own all the albums that these songs come from, I do have this set up as a playlist and listen to it from time to time.

The track listing of a homemade compilation on a cassette insert.

Good post #1 - new fancy herbs, including the intriguing cola plant.

@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@emmaaum I hope it gets to you soon. I might finish work a bit early today to I can get mine planted.

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@emmaaum I'm not sure I should enable whatever plans they have...

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@emmaaum One of my plants had got knocked over too. I liked the cardboard inserts though - the other place I buy from uses plastic pot holders, and I now have a stash of them. Not quite sure what to do with them to be honest.

Things I have uttered this morning: Well, I've got a chicken that needs an undercarriage knitting.

Newydd gael fy e-lyfr cyntaf o Lyfrgell Ceredigion, ac roedd yn broses hynod o hawdd. Mae’n well ‘da fi ddarllen llyfrau go iawn fel rheol, ond doedd dim copi caled o’r hwn gyda nhw, felly es i am y fersiwn digidol.

Dim angen ap arbennig, darllen yn y porwr. Perffaith.

@nic Dw i'n lico'r gwasanaeth Borrowbox, ond dw i'n tueddi lawrlwytho llyfrau i'w darllen mewn app arall. Mae 'na dewis da o lyfrau Cymraeg ar gael arni.

Mae Libby yn gweithio yn yr un modd, ac mae cylchgronau ar gael ar hwn hefyd.

I could be wrong, but I think there's a minion in the road. Everyone else can see it, right? Right?!

The minion has turned to face the left of the camera. What is it looking at? Who knows. Is it even real? What is real? Am I real?

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@TheBreadmonkey You must be imagining things - it's just a road and some cars and some traffic lights. There's nothing else there.
