We still have Popsy. Popsy and Snag are still safe. I'm going have to lean further into the crochet

One of the great joys of the air fryer is using it to cook those pre baked long life baguettes or rolls for lunch. Hot ham sandwich here I come

We killed NFTs, we can kill AI slop.

Who is scared to go to bed until she's allowed to take the final batch of steroids at 4am?

Henrik Ibsen season on BBC4. You may wonder why he's so popular, well it's because he helps develop the concept of exposition. He doesn't invent it but before him Drama tended to be you watching an event and all the plot happens between the start and finish of the play.

Bernard Haitnik!!! This is why I love watching this. #FaceTheMusic

Do funny opera. I know funny opera #FaceTheMusic

Did you watch the "Syphilis Delius Myth"? Delia Smith does not have syphilis #FaceTheMusic

I need a disco nap turns out not sleeping because you're unable to breathe can really make you run down during the day.

I have a dose and am currently awake after having an asthma attack. I've taken the steroids and had a go on the reliever with spacer. Now I'm at the breathing but shaky point. For the love of crumb cake don't catch that dose.

Great, now I'm hungry

How the new jumper is getting on

Been finding it hard to find a new wearable project. I'm stash busting and am realising that much of my early buys were absolute garbage. I had yarn for the liquorice allsort blanket but never made it up. So I'm trying a granny jumper instead. Bloody camera is getting the colours right though

One thing I've learned from crochet is I can't count without batching. I am very lucky if my first row count is accurate. I usually have to fix it by removing cast ons at the start of fudging the first row. People have suggested stitch markers but it's still a brain melt.

Listening to It Is Finished (Live '74) by Nina Simone, and you know what's a good album? It Is Finished (Live '74)

The use of the generic term AI in this headline is obscuring the point somewhat. It was specifically the use of a branded product made by THE BIGGEST NAME IN SOFTWARE, which is being bundled into everything and rammed down our throats. Microsoft Co-Pilot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

A whop bam a lula, a whop bam what?!

"Something wrong, officer?" "Yeah, got a taillight out." "Where?" "Right there." "One day honest citizens are going to stand up to you crooked cops." "They are? Oh, no. Have they set a date?"

Was not happy with the ribbing on my new gloves. So I looked better techniques online and ripped it all back. I'm now doing Slipped Rib. It's taking a while but it looks super neat

Trying the dragon scale glove. The look amazing but the problem is they are incredibly bulky in the palm. You're not going to be able to hold your phone in your hand.

So it was my niece's 30th party tonight and she created a solid playlist for the evening. Full of bangers over the last 50 years with a good mix for her older relations and her friends. I'm super proud of her

Reg Varney in Enfield

Once again I'm feeling called out. Surely everyone goes looking for their partners "squeakers" or tries to unzip their spine

They can't help themselves can the

It would take 3 years to watch Star Trek and the Simpsons on UK terrestrial tv

Sir Stephen Hough is surprised to have narrowly won a byelection for the liberal democrats in 1995

Me: *holding a hot water bottle up to my husband* Please sir, my baby, my baby is so warm. Sir? Please, my baby @archivedelver.bsky.social: *looking at my pitying face* Go have a vodka...

I watching Whodunnit with Edward Woodward. Might have little snooze as well youtu.be/qEFF0sDLoeQ?...

It was really cold in the house last night so I didn't get much sleep. Now I've put the electric sofa throw over me while I crochet and my body is going "ooh a wee nap would be good right now". Follow me for more mundane insights into my life

The PhD proposal is submitted. I would've submitted yesterday but I bought myself a related book as a treat then had to go back and frog a whole section. I also think writers should steal more words from crafters.

All hail Swansea University and their amazing guide to getting MHRA correct libguides.swansea.ac.uk/MHRA

In "celebration" of thr Pepto Bismol ad now being on the radio, I took some popular radio-friendly songs and added the "Diarrhea" guy.

Bit late to the best films of 2025. But I went to the cinema to see this. You all should watch it as well. It is the most harrowing, most brutal, most anger inducing and most uplifting thing you'll see www.undergroundfilms.ie/testimony

Had to transfer my writing to Microsoft Word to make sure it was readable. It opens up with Co-Pilot asking if it can rewrite what I've just pasted. Words I've sweated over.

See I told you all I wasn't making this up. It's glorious

The little birdies are all over the peanut feeder today. So I sprinkled extra nuts on the hard packed snow. Now it's a jamboree of tits out there.

Dinner party - they're all in the kitchen talking about houses, mica and whose family knows who. I'm watching the Bee Gees Concert on Sky Art

Any Scots Law lawyers want to give advice on the legality of this

We're going to a get together tomorrow. So it's time to make @nigella.bsky.social Bailey's Tiramisu

It's the 2nd of January and therefore the holiday of lying in bed drinking Irn Bru. Please respect my local traditions at this time. Also send square sausage.

We're watching the Ian Carmichael Wimseys. I'm annoying @archivedelver.bsky.social by identifying things other actors have been in... ooh look it's Christopher Timothy
