mastodon 4.6.8#Knitting, #filking, & other assorted fandoms, all accompanied by woolly mammoths. #Loki's oldest/longest-serving fangirl (and proud of it!). Now with blue & purple hair. Was @Knitronomicon@mastodonapp.uk on Twitter. She/her. Also now knitronomicon.bsky.social.
OK, had my hair done, had a coffee & snack, updated ravelry with the new yarn ... goodness, it's nearly 2pm. Must be almost dinnertime, then.
At last my hair is complete again! Er, I mean blue & purple.
Yay, new t-shirt has arrived!
Yarn!!!! Burnt Sienna Yak, Natural Vanilla Baby Cashmere, Natural Milk Chocolate Yak.
I had a corkscrew carrot to put in my chicken stew on Monday...
Despite having finished this cowl about a month ago, I don't seem to have taken a pic! The pattern is called Leftover City Cowl; I've made it in the leftovers (hah!) from the Prismatic Honeycomb shawl I made over Christmas/New Year.
Nice chat with Roberta, good lunch ... until one of my front teeth broke off. Managed to get an inspection appointment at the dentist tomorrow lunchtime, though; I suspect it'll be a referral to somewhere for an extraction.
MacOS updated, I've done 3 rounds on the sock (so it's caught up to the other one). Time to go to bed.
I'm slightly knackered - walked up to Archway, got a C11 to Swiss Cottage, & walked all the way up from the stop by the tube station to just before Waitrose, crossed over, & got a bus back. Walked down the sunny side of my street, which is nice (my side only gets sun early in the morning at midsummer...). Time for dinner now - mac & cheese.
Back from dentist; had it looked at, had an X-ray; the obvious solution would have been post & crown, but apparently the roots aren't in good enough condition for that, so I have to go back next week for them to take impressions. Then at the end of the month I have to have it EXTRACTED (AAARRRGGGHHH!!!), and will be fitted with a small plate with One Tooth on it.
I was going to go to bed on time again, but I made the mistake of setting another 2 knitting books to be sent to Kindle, and now I've still got another 15 minutes before I can close down the laptop.
I have nothing I need to go out for, and I expect a lot of shops are still shut, anyway; but I could do with a little exercise, and while the sun is shining... I'll put crocs on, walk down to the crossing, along to the next one back up Junction Road, cross back, & home.
Time to go boing, yet another early morning tomorrow to get to the hairdresser.
The latest part of my body that is objecting to doing its assigned job is the left knee, which is protesting about having to lie down, stand up, walk, sit, and generally exist. This is not conducive to peaceful sleep.
Haven't got any knitting done yet - I've got the latest socks out, and sanded down the cable needle for them, and I've printed off (with a lot of faff!) the pattern for a shawl I want to do, and checked where the yarn is in the Knitronomicorner. So it's now nearly 4pm, which makes it time for dinner - the left-over potatoes with ham & onion from yesterday, and another egg & more cheese.
@Weregopher@mstdn.social Something to consider for the #FurryRebelAlliance?
I did my little walk, but in the opposite direction - along to Bargain Buys, via the Pound+ shop, then across to check the hardware shop. No luck in any of them - I was after larger garden kneelers. I just need something about an inch thick to put by the bed to help me get *in* (out is no problem!), and was thinking one kneeler, or two stacked, would be enough. But Bargain Buys only had narrow ones, and only 1cm thick. I'll find something else, I expect.
I had a lie-down before dinner, but having eaten most of a quiche (the inside, not the crusts) plus a dessert, I think I need to go for another one. I am a sad old biddy.
Done a bit of knitting-related stuff - measured some extant socks & worked out how much longer to make the ones I'm (re-)knitting, and done the first round after putting thumb stitches on hold on my Cranfords. I've changed the water filter, and put the bins out. Time to stop adulting, I think.
I think I'm off to bed. Didn't get a nap today, & both legs having been playing up, I've exhausted myself walking.
Actually walked 2 crossings up, went into the shop that hosts the PO (PO obviously closed) & got some jiffy bags. Now having lunchtime snack; 2 pork, cheddar, & Marmite saus rolls, to be followed by 2 warmed welsh cakes. And maybe some more of the choccie egg.
Oh, look. 11.20. Dentist tomorrow. Therefore, bed now.
Finished Saturday's 'hard' Samurai Su Doku, so I think I'll be off to bed.
Dammit, FedEx is now late, and I need to go out for milk this afternoon.
If Fedex don't arrive soon, they'll get caught by the afternoon school-street hours...
