Fireworks?
Hearing the sound fireworks in the east end right now, anyone know why?
Falling Leaves?
What do you all think of the falling leaves in the scanner? I like them in connection with mid-autumn festival though I think it’s still too soon for the “summer’s over” element!
Ironing sprinkler bottle
I was just bringing in a spray bottle to dampen my laundry for ironing and I got a visceral memory of my mom’s yellow sprinkler bottle she kept with the iron (not that she ever ironed in my memory). I used it though (all those retro cotton 50s poodle skirts we wore in the 80s!) Did anyone else have one of these in their home? This isn’t quite what she had but you get the idea.
New sentence
Only in a household of Midnight Burger super fans do you get one person saying to the other, “You just sounded like a mungo with that noise!” followed by uproarious laughter.
Simple delights sneaking into everyday life.
I fucking adore this show.
Pimm’s Cup?
Anyone know of a place with a patio serving Pimm’s Cup? It’s perfect weather for it and I was having a hankering for it the other day but realized I have no idea if even a British pub would carry it here.
Next Machina die-off?
Are we about to get a Machina die-off? I can’t remember how to tell but there’s certainly a lot of it around and aggressive right now, so I’m thinking it’s soon…?
Weight tracking!
Ok. So I did find all my weight data going back to 2013 but it’s much less accessible. I cannot see it all in one graph, only up to one year. I cannot scroll back to a specific time period to see when I last weights X lbs. Which is really annoying because I’ve been getting fitter and would like to compare with 7 years ago when I was also doing well. But I really hate having to scroll to put in my weight. I’m nowhere near 150 (where the scroll bar is set) and at 61 years old & 5’7”, I will never be 150 again. It’s pretty demoralising to have to start from there every time I weigh in instead of backspacing two spaces for pounds & 1/10th pounds. So instead of emphasizing small wins of weight loss, I’m constantly getting told I’m nowhere near the “norm”. If it were even set at my goal weight, it wouldn’t be as bad. But seriously, WHY would you make it a clunky scroll bar? Or not have it default to your last weight?
I freakin’ LOOOVE making layered fields. The collection of portals I found allowed for me to create a field, field over it to two corners & then split that field, rotate 120° and do it again & again then spine down the street put on another 7 layers so that the bottom field was under 16 layers. It’s so pretty. And got me over the top for Orion!
