Anyhow, my ear lobes are currently generating enough heat to power Upper Hutt, hopefully I won’t spend our anniversary meal itching my ear lobes.

Alright, buckle up, it’s Saturday night, Auntie’s been at the gin, it’s story time!
Back in the dark ages, before Al Gore invented the internet, when we started dating we went to the Sea Zoo.
Husband paid for me to choose an oyster (each one guaranteed to have a pearl) and I picked one with twin pearls!

Went to the mall today to get some hypoallergenic sleepers to open my holes (NOT A EUPHEMISM)
How expensive are simple studs!? $35 for a pair, last time I bought sleepers they were £2, like I said it’s been a while.

Kept waking up during the night to scratch them.

@irix@cloudisland.nz @exlibrarykris@cloudisland.nz same! A lot of mine are in Brisbane, so it’s three hours for half the year.

@essjax@m.essjax.com @thomasbeagle@mastodon.nz I have run out of pointless tinkering ideas and need suggestions. But I am also on a sewing deadline so maybe wait until November.
Had an extremely vivid dream last night. I was on a group call, trying to figure out how to join some tricky tables. Then I had leave the call because there was a tiger in the yard. The tiger was stalking Oggi, and we were very concerned because Oggi is blind and vulnerable. But it was a friendly tiger who wanted to look after Oggi, and took a shine to some of my knitted hats.

@byroncclark@mastodon.social @openvibe@mastodon.social oh that was a thing in the UK. I remember the tabloids being obsessed with some athletic star’s lunchbox.

@mementomaori@kind.social Zenni are still pushing it, but they also do IR blocking which I will be getting, as it stops the facial recognition in the supermarket from working.

@thomasbeagle@mastodon.nz like Wellington, where we refer to places by what they used to be “used to be Wine Loft” etc.

@Happyfishmedia@cloudisland.nz it is surprising, mainly because I assumed the youth wing was for 55-60 year olds.

@mementomaori@kind.social I got husband to get it on his new pair, to stop him from being tracked at the supermarket. Except he doesn’t take them with him and we end up with tuna in oil and Quorn nuggets instead of pieces because his arms aren’t long enough.

@mementomaori@kind.social keep meaning to tell you about this: easy listening podcast, bit of Andy Weatherall content made me think you might like it. https://castro.fm/podcast/432dd12b-32e5-4e33-b2eb-f3c80a48e928

@dec_hl@mastodon.social the dragonfly fabric is very stiff, similar to curtain fabric, so wouldn’t fall the same way the red one does. Unfortunately it’s only 2m of narrow fabric, so not enough for a dress. That Burda pattern would work if I had more of it. That other dress is gorgeous!

@exlibrarykris@cloudisland.nz they have some great patterns, they’re good to make. I may have partaken in the summer sale…

@essjax@m.essjax.com ask your credit card company for a charge back, you’ve done as much as you can. If you leave it too late you won’t get your money back.
Quandary time. I’ve had this piece of silk since 2008, waiting for the right pattern/weight loss/whatever. I found a great pattern and made a mock up, but I think the silk doesn’t have enough drape for the top and now I don’t know what to make with it.

@heyrochelle@cloudisland.nz omg this is so funny! I didn’t know that about spider plants, luckily we’re not really into houseplants. Raven tripping balls, heh.

@dec_hl@mastodon.social I was thinking it would look good with a black satin pencil skirt or cropped pants. I have neither 😂

This one I just finished, and is the third one I’ve made from this pattern, fabric from The Fabric Store sale in the last three years Very pleased with the collar this time.
The close up is the best colour representation, the light in my sewing space this time of day is not good.

Do dark chocolate Bounty bars still exist? I can’t remember seeing them in NZ.
Today I’m on Tasmanian time, so I just did a Pilates session in my pyjamas, and I’m about to get some knitting in.
For #AlternateFridayMusic I give you Eskimo Joe with Liar

@joannaholman@aus.social heh. I was in a call with my Team Lead and I heard it, and figured he had to leave the building. There was some confusion until he realised it was Ausalert. Told him ours is usually on a Sunday.

Urgh. Worked until 7.15 because brain was on fire with a new process and I wanted to get it written. Now I’m very very tired. Zonk.
I have voted to keep out the cookers from InternetNZ. Tautoko to those doing the mahi and suggesting a ranking for the clueless folks like me.

@caity@bne.social I wanted to get the titanium ones from the piercing place, but there was no-one at the till and I was sure they’d be cheaper in Lovisa. I’m going to dig out my silver sleepers and disinfect those so I can wear them in a few days.
I escaped containment and hacked flour, sugar, butter, eggs and heat and made a cake.
