Looking Caron Yarn on Amazon during the Prime sale because it's the only way you can source it without rob-dog pricing and it is a good quality acrylic with stylish colours

Jeffrey Archer's dead! Man, I wish my dad had lived to see this. He would have loved Jeffrey Archer being dead.

Heathcliff approaches the meat store in a brown blimp that says BEEF CIDER in big yellow letters along its side. Two employees watch him, and one says "I love this time of year."

Yer wan with the power tools is out *again* today. It's been almost a month of this. I have a stinging face and don't need a roaring saw in my ear. I hope whatever they are building burns down

Absolutely loving the whole what media scared you as child posts, as they run the gamut between mildly innocuous to "why did I watch that as a 4 year old"

@archivedelver.bsky.social and I have developed a new car game. One of you starts singing a line of a song then passes to the other who then has to sing another song based on the lyrics you just sang.

This picture from a Red Cross photoshoot in 1918 is an uncomfortable reminder of the time when Glasgow had a racially segregated hospital. A wee thread... 📷: Library of Congress

These stupid little Betron earphones are £10. They have gone through the wash at least twice and they still are the best emergency set of earphones you will ever need.

A USA 1920s advert. Ignore the whole Orientalism (but also mark it) and just look at that image in the right hand corner. That would've given most of the US conniptions

Sears catalogs never get old for me. Love ‘em. The first one is pretty racy for 1956. The young lady is pondering her choice of Elvis, Perry or Eddie for her free 45 to go with her record undies. The second one is the infamous 1975 “The Man on Page 602.” Zoom. You’ll see #SearsCatalog #VintageAds

I think I have a business idea. Charging robotic designers £250 for a week's use of my mobility scooter. They'd get a better sense of how to design wheels if they had their bum numbed and back jolted on one

Ooooh the latest Simply Crochet has a jumper done in that Firefly yarn that goes like a fair when the shops stock it.
A Shawl jumper in that black sparkly Firefly yarn. It looks classy as anything but also ideal for Christmas (and post Christmas)

Was going to go out but it's absolutely pissing down with rain. So I'll have to stay in under the duvet and listen to audio books and podcasts instead. It's a real shame

Well if you're a small GB business selling to Ireland that's you banjaxed. The EU charge was a pain but bareable but it didn't need a secondary Custom charge within Ireland. I have honestly never forgiven Customs for charging my mother for a tartan wool shawl scarf which was a Christmas gift to me

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

Yesterday I pushed the limits on my my mobility scooter. I drove it into Derry from outside the Foyle Bridge, I went to Sainsbury's then to yarn store on Sackville Street, then drove to the Foyleside, went into M&S for the sale, went into the Big Boots and went to Waterstones. It was brilliant

A man stands at the ticket counter of a movie theater. An employee asks if he’d like to upgrade his ticket. “Would you like to upgrade to Cinema VIP? You can pause the film for bathroom breaks.”  Our man is intrigued by the offer. Next slide. Inside the movie theater. The film has been paused and the movie screen lets the audience know: “PAUSED FOR VIP.” Our man stands at the center of the theater with his hands raised and a VIP badge attached to a lanyard around his neck. He’s part of the Cinema VIP program but at what cost? The other patrons have become increasingly upset with the pauses. A chorus of angry voices rain down on the VIP from around the theater. “Sit down, toilet boy,” one woman yells. She’s had enough of his potty breaks. “Oh COME on.” “Get this guy outta here.” “He ruined the trailers, too.” “Take his badge.” “3 times?!” “Put a diaper on.”
