It's very frustrating not being able to spend this whole power cut doing housework 🫤
I'm finding it much harder to decide how to pace, because my usual routine of chores and rest (which is lying down watching tv) is out the window. Doing cross stitch is kind of rest but also not really.

If I wanted to get a little camera specifically so I could take better photos of my garden birds - so optical zoom being a big requirement I guess - does anyone have knowledgeable thoughts on whether this would be a decent choice?
I don't think I want the learning curve or the cost of a DSLR 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is goddamn hilarious to me seeing people say they feel wary of people in masks/respirators in case they have covid and went out anyway.
Buddy.
Stop and think about how the people in the masks feel about you and all the other maskless people spreading covid all around them 🙃

Yay! I finally got around to checking my cross stitch against the pattern to find my mistake.. and there wasn't one! I just got confused because I kept running out of thread and stopping in weird places, so where I thought I had finished a colour block I actually hadn't 🙃

It's frankly painful the way that we can all be marveling at the natural world simultaneously, and yet somehow we've built a society which seems destined to destroy it, and we've given up or lost the power to stop it happening?

Anyway, I don't suppose anyone has any tips adjusting to using a CPAP machine? My husband's first night was a complete failure - I didn't hear any snoring for once, but he (and his fitness watch thingy) said he had his worst sleep ever 🥲

Ted Lasso is the Bluey of grown up sportsish tv 🥰

Ugh, I hope this is the last day for a while that I have to stress about whether it's too hot to walk to school 😬

I want a lifestyle & gardening show featuring only disabled people 🥺
Can you imagine all the clever tips you would learn?? Instead of clueless ableds constantly being chipper and saying daft things like "anyone can do this!"
(Yes I am watching Gardening Australia again 😅)

Found a precious little treasure while de-pooping the garden 🥰
Also realised I want a hashtag for garden photos that aren't necessarily flowery, so I'm going with #GardenTreasures

A small white empty eggshell sitting amongst dead grass and leaves. It's missing a huge chunk and a tiny conical snail can be seen on the inside surface.

Doing an AppleTV free trial, what should we watch in addition to Ted Lasso?
(Between my husband & myself we watch most genres so any recommendations welcome!)

Anyone know of non-HP fandoms that have similar fic tropes to things like potions accidents, the whole mind-reading thing, & just the interesting options provided by magic generally?
I miss some of my favourite fics & tropes from the olden days, but I don't want to go back there :/

I have the worst musk stick craving, thanks to a random social media post 😭

It's so cool having so many people in my online world who can relate to normal everyday stuff like having to pace in order to have enough energy for a shower. I don't have many (maybe any tbh) people I know in real life who understand what energy-limiting chronic illness is like, I really appreciate the community on here ❤️

Heh. I can't fill out the online consent form for my kid to walk to the off-school sports ground, because I don't have a credit card at the moment 🙃

If I got an email that said "I look forward to your early reply" I would mentally shove it to the bottom of my to-do list, I think.
If you had an actual reason that you needed a reply by a certain time and mentioned that reason I'd move it to the top.
Is it just me or is it a really passive-aggressive sort of phrase?

JFC the minimises are out here now saying viral persistence is good for the immune system 🤪
Honestly to dog I've never wished chronic illness on so many people in my life. If it's so good for you, have mine!! Take all the chronic illness from those of us who fucking know what this life is like, set us free and you can fucking have your viral persistence. I wish you joy of it!

The front garden was all quiet this morning so I took the opportunity to empty and refill the birdbath. As soon as I finished the birds started appearing, and now it's alive with birdsong again 🥰
So blessed to be able to carve out these little miracles on a micro scale, while the world seems to burn on a macro scale 🥲

One of these days I will see one too many "if you don't cut your grass you'll have a magical wonderland of flowers" posts and I'll share photos of my disgusting, ugly ex-lawn. I'm happy some of you have flowers but that doesn't mean they appear magically for everyone 🙄

Hmmm the exact same Zyrtec tablets my youngest takes for his mast cell flare ups now says 12+ only on the new packets, instead of also half a tablet for ages 6-12.
Now I apparently need to get the chewable children's Clarantyne, which includes (unlisted) colours and flavours, increasing the chances that a non-active ingredient will trigger a mast cell problem! 🤦🏼‍♀️
Unless I just keep buying the Zyrtec 🤔
