Himself is still working. Happy new year.

The radio was playing the long version of Waterfall by the stone roses then cut it off anyway 🤨

Random encounter as I was messaging grumping about my boss - American bloke asked me (as I was walking fast looking at my phone) if I believed in God. He got a very decisive NO as I continued to stomp along. What was his plan?!

Apparently I used not a lot too.

Ha. Advantages of working when no other bugger is - too good to go bag from the excellent bread place as there's no one else to buy them.

Last night I went through my knitting 🧶 UFOs/wips and looked at what realistically I was going to finish and what I was going to frog. And I frogged one already. Also found moth damage to my first lace piece which was annoying although less as I was going to frog it anyway (my ssk look *terrible*)

Luxury going to work this morning - 12 car train and 4 seats (currently) to myself.

The lovely woman who made Hide and Hammer knitting bags has died with her children on Boxing Day in a fire. I cannot even begin to imagine.

Nothing like coming back to work and wondering when you can take time off again.

Nothing like getting back to work to find that the cow volunteer has been trying to work around you and undermine you. Hilariously copying in my work friend who really doesn't like her.

My nephew actually ate the satsuma in the toe of his stocking. I'm impressed. I don't think my brother ever did.

I'm an idiot. I appear to have shrunk my new merino cashmere bed socks.

I've done some jobs, then I found myself on the floor reading the wine book and decided to finish documenting my yarn stash. Which I've just finished. Considering retrospectively documenting the yarn I've used up now.

Going to treat myself with a choc to go with my tea.

However, I've done two jobs - the washing is now on and I took the recycling out. (Apart from the dog shit someone has also added to our bin, but I'm less worried about that for some reason. We usually only have about 3 bags in it.)

Some actual skank has put their dog shit in our bin.

I've got a number of jobs to do today, but I've just read a chapter of the new supermarket wine book and sat down at the top of the stairs.

Which is a great excuse to repost this

I've finished my emotional support knitting project which I chose because it was quick and easy. Dammit.

I am beneath both baby and cat. Sort of wish I'd taken my jumper off first... 🥵

How I'm walking out of 2025

Happy Christmas, lovely phone people ♥️🎄🎁❄️

Lucy Beaumont actually made me laugh because she said toad in Hull. Which is turd. Confused Anton and the Gladiator.

Who's the new presenter of Sewing Bee?

a very meowy christmas for all who celebrate!

First Christmas telly of the season - Mog's Christmas.

The best thing about today is that himself is coming up. Unfortunately it will be extremely late and he still has to work tomorrow.

Grumpy dad because I insisted on returning the rice to the fridge because it was only 10 to 5.

Shopping done. Thank goodness.

Can report that the pizza and company were both excellent @r4isstatic.com 😊

Pizza incoming!

Praise be to topical oestrogen.

Bored. At work with only a couple of things to do.

Currently feeling that Vinted is rubbish. Bought two cashmere jumpers, one is too small (30 quid 😭), the other I discovered two moth holes in sleeves after I'd accepted the bloody thing. Seller can't understand why I didn't mention it earlier as they "would have amended the price". Hm.

Listen to Nothing Compares 2u. Goosebumps. 💔

Good morning! Last day of work today until after Christmas. 🎉

My feet they ow

Gosh I really do wish I had got the earlier train.

slow day in the office so figured we'd start some beef with museums

The Jólakötturinn, or the Yule Cat is a monstrously large creature from Icelandic folklore that is said to roam the snowy countryside during Christmas, with a particular appetite for anyone who has not received new clothes before Christmas Eve or who did not wear them.

Hilariously was rung by TfL about a journey they'd overcharged me for whilst I was on the same journey.

I could be at home with the cat, knitting* (*pissing around on my phone)

£1.38 Dauphinoise potatoes on the way home. Thank you Co-op.

Why do I make myself cringe so bad?

Help! Banbury Museum has been told that Cherwell District Council is cancelling ALL of its core funding. There is a very tight deadline - Friday 19th December - to tell the Council what you think. Please respond to the consultation and share this post www.banburymuseum.org/news/no-fund...

Saving a museum would be a pretty cool thing to do for Christmas, wouldn't it? You know what to do, you awesome bunch....

Junk email of the day: Enhance Your Offering with High Quality Customisable Golf Equipment. Not sure how that's going to help when I work at a museum?

I don't have anything on tomorrow. I need, desperately, to write Christmas cards and review the present situation. I could probably do with doing something, but what I don't know.

We’re not going to be grasses, Guardian

I had a nightmare last night about my old place of work. There was going to be a terrible flood and the new staff (most of whom I do not know) were too busy making tik tocs when I thought they should be rescuing the important collection objects. Apparently I miss the collection.
