Wondering how many more times I can run round the house singing 'a tragedy with tits' before my husband commits me...

Picture shows a wooden table, of random wood cuts. There is a sky blue teapot in the background. In front a small white plate with two cannoli on top, stuffed with a chocolate hazelnut filling. In the foreground is a glass with a beetroot latte.

So basic it hurts.

A small solid style granny square. The square is incomplete and only shows two rounds, but they are largely even. The thread used is a sort of blue green with flecks of purple in it. It rests on top of a grey foam block.

Guuuuuys. Look. At. It!

(Alright, sure, it's just a basic solid granny square, but ya gal has gone down to a 6mm hook and it's not even been blocked yet 👌🏼)

a picture from an old Clifford book. Clifford is much smaller than usual, implying he is baby. he is holding a brown paper bag in his mouth and is covered in a sheet with eye holes. it is obvious he is trick or treating. his tail has action lines around it, indicating he is rather excited for both the tricks and the treats

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

There is a place in the city that sells me a pint of pineapple juice. Honestly one of the best things.

A crochet segment for a blanket. It is large and covers one half of a two seater sofa. It is square and uses a DC (US) TC (UK) stitch. The middle is blue, then there is a pink square, then a white, another pink, before finishing in blue. The pattern is trans flag inspired. There is a 'trans rights are human rights' electronic sticker on the bottom left, and a frog holding a trans flag electronic sticker on the bottom right.

I made dis. #ProtectTheDolls

Oh my frigging dog.

At this stage, beetroot has become a cornerstone of my personality.

A single colour granny square, made using a multicolour thread to instead create a very fluid multicolour effect. Colours on show are light green, yellow, peachy pink, and purple.

I love her.

Photo shows a crocheted granny square. It is a basic style, with a grey middle in a small cross pattern, with a sage green round outside of that, followed by another grey round and finally a blue round to complete. The shape is square and has several (intended) holes throughout.

Irrationally proud of some wool I threaded.

A super shout out to my husband who sneakily booked a lesson for me (because I was losing my mind with my solo attempts!!), otherwise I'd still be doing and undoing the same stupid chain every night, getting absolutely nowhere.

A purple background, with a yellow threaded crochet swatch resting. It is a treble (triple) crochet pattern.

AND I had a go at a treble (triple?) crochet. It is a bit crap. But again, I DID IT.

Ya gal is so proud of herself.

A purple background, with a double crochet patterned swatch resting. The thread is a golden yellow colour.

But today I managed my first double crochet swatch. Yes I missed a stitch on the end but I DID IT!!

A purple background with a golden yellow crochet chain resting in a curved arrangement.

So, I've never been able to get past a chain. I just cannot fathom it.

Picture shows a wooden picnic style table up close, with a ceramic plate on top. The plate is grey in the middle and edged in blue. Atop the plate is six pork belly bites. They are perfectly crispy and glazed in a garlic sauce. The bites are resting next to a separate sauce, which is dark brown in colour. It was a spiced apple but with a delightfully smoky taste.

When I tell you these were heavenly ...

We've seen the trailer and I chuckled a lot.

I think The Boy™️ is slightly less convinced but I can just go by myself.

Seriously considering it, it looks silly and funny.

Photo shows the cover of a magazine titled "Crochet for Beginners". The cover is white and shows two hands, holding a purple crochet swatch and one wooden crochet hook.

It is going to be my mission to learn in whatever that thing called free time is...

Can we stop calling every recipe a "marry me" thing. Thanks.

I will never stop reposting "how does *thing* wear its pants".

A black dog with white paws faces the camera but is looking beyond it. He has his ears pointing upward and his mouth open with his pink tongue poking to the side. His snout is grey and he is sporting a bow tie on his collar.

Happy Gotcha day!! Now somebody explain where the hell nine years has gone?!

The picture is of Canal Street, in Manchester. The street is adorned with many progressive pride flags on bunting, as well as multicoloured umbrellas. There are disco balls hanging from establishment doorways, and people walking up and down the street.

At the football, and somebody has just, in all seriousness used the phrase "bloody hell fire" and I am CRYING.

24 hours later, and I'm still sat here in awe of the Tommy Clufetos solo last night.

A woman has taken a selfie of her t-shirt which is cream in nature with a brown design showcasing a raccoon holding what appears to be an iced beverage. Accompanying the raccoon is a slogan which reads "First of all I'm a delight". You can also see the woman's striped white and yellow linen trousers, and she is stood on a white circle rug showing animals including a zebra and giraffe.

A bloody delight.

Look, the fact that them being there, and therefore easier to knick, is a bonus. I won't lie.

Disagree in the strongest form. They are fun. Football should be fun.

A brown wooden table makes up the base of the photo. There is a half drunk glass of sparking water, and a plate with two cannelloni in the background. There is a full glass of pink beetroot latte. It has a white milk heart pattern on the top.

Thank god, it's been all of five minutes since I last consumed beets. Was starting to withdraw.

*sometimes* 🤨

A white bowl takes up the entire image. It is filled with homemade celeriac soup, with some butter sage coated hazelnuts and cracked black pepper. The soup is somewhat beige, but it was tasty.

Sorry, but I bloody love making soup.
