I've been crocheting a sleeveless top for weeks now, including having most of the front done and then realising I'd done it wrong, so had to redo it. i'm almost finished the front now, in a fairly plain but pleasant white cotton thread which MiL gave me when she was clearing out her craft supplies.
my neighbour is also clearing out her craft supplies. This week, she gave me a really lovely spool of a glossy creamy thread, same weight as the one I'm using now. and there's enough of it to make this sleeveless top.

The bandname Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs; it cracks me up.
(But now we're listening to them and huh... actually they're kind of great. But the name is hilarious.)

I swear they mainly get airplay for the DJs amusement.

I can relate to jars we can’t open. We were going to toast the coronation with champagne, but neither of us could get the cork out! ( I had a female friend visiting).

From the neighborhood email listserv (emphasis mine):
Hi. I’m giving away the complete set-up for a pet hamster or gerbils: glass aquarium, water bottle, metal-cage topper, spinning wheel, food and dish, bedding, rolling ball, large storage bin. tiny sunglasses. No animal included.

There's a nice native mulberry tree here that overhangs our driveway, which is generally lovely but I stepped on one and tracked mulberry into the house, so I thought I'd use my old toothbrush to spot-clean the purple spots that are here and there. Lovely idea except halfway through I realized that I had grabbed my current actual toothbrush instead of the old one. Good thing I have a spare one in my travel kit or I'd be off to the store to buy a new toothbrush. I need more coffee.

Factbombing a twerp on FB who thinks universities are liberal brainwashing and you can learn more from youtube.
I like to ask innocent sounding questions to see if I can partially destroy their argument so kicked off with "would that be true for doctors?"
Got him to back track quite far and then asked "what is liberal brainwashing anyway?"
And now he's blocked me and deleted the whole thread.

I just used the sentence "Six people have liked my weevil toot," which I think is new for the English language

We were laughing at Ben Roberts-Smith on the news last night and now I see The Shovel have done a very similar article. For non Australians, Roberts-Smith was a highly decorated SAS officer. A few years ago a newspaper article ran a story of some alleged war crime style actives in Afghanistan. Roberts-Smith sued the paper the for defamation. And now each night on the news you hear far worse stories of fairly unsavoury activities allegedly carried out by Roberts-Smith that are being presented in court as part of the newspaper's defence. Talk of shooting oneself in the foot. www.theshovel.com.au/2022/02/24/how-to-restore-reputation-defamation-ben-roberts-smithResult of the defamation case has finally been given. BRS has lost.

Whoa! That's a cool idea; I'll remember that next year. Unfortunately it's too far into the season; all the mulberries are purple (and 90% of them are in our driveway).

Today's escapade on FB/insta comes from someone correcting me for stating that MTG calling for decorum was hypocrisy.
Apparently it's irony and I got it wrong because I am a victim of the US public indoctrination system.
We are very amused.

It's hypocrisy because it's something that she has shown lack of, time and time again.
It would be ironic if Boebert told her to stifle it.
