Today I slept in after staying up till 1.30am .i may have drank too much mylled wine. I did however pick up the V.R. and play some beatsaber and pistolwhip. First time in over a year. Forgot how fun it is.
Had a lazy day, watched some Godzilla, and now I am dying my hair.

Cheap mulled wine instructions : heat gently.
Me: aggressively throws in microwave.
I ain't got time for gently

Trip to the winter Market with the offspring is being postponed due to heckin weather.
I'm going to go buy several bottles of gleuwein from lidl...

Right. I'm bleaching my hair.
Still figuring out colour. It might end up being multiple...

Was looking through my Instagram to try and figure what colour to do my hair. Remembered how much I love this picture of me with the offspring on my shoulders at Rammstein in Dublin last year.
They were wearing new rocks. I still moshed.

The need to dye my hair is upon me. Question is do I keep the bright orange/red, or dig around in the bathroom and see what else I have kicking about? (Probably the entire rainbow in there)

Surprise day at home after I had ti go extract offspring with a migraine from school. Poor thing is rough. Guess I'll get the housework done at least.

Tonight we played Mansions of madness. We only cheated a little bit.

Shogun has turned out to be a very chatty boy. Still amused by what a tiny voice this big cat has!

The only reason I got through the finale of #nobigneil bg3 playthrough without crying. My gorgeous rescue boy Shogun curled up next to me properly for the first time. ❤️
Hopefully he'll come around to being a lap cat.

Karolina approved!
@realgdt.bsky.social once again giving us a costume designer who takes accurate historical references and moulds it into a beautiful vision, that enhances and complements the story. @katehawleycostume.bsky.social is a genius.

Very glad my husband is picking me up from work. My brain is utter mush that has struggled even reading stuff today, and I've ended it by cutting my finger. Somehow managed to cut it on the back of my scissors 😑
Anyway, I finally found somewhere to hang our shiny glass nonsense.

This is the sort of costume detail I live for.
Maybe one day I'll manage to make something as beautiful.
elizabeth's gown being inspired by overlayed x-rays is such an insane detail to me

Witness how utterly handsome my Shogun is. I'm pretty sure he knows it too. #catsofbluesky

Went to Dundee to pick up our new car. Took the opportunity to go to the V&A. There's a rather good exhibit on Palestinian embroidery. Left my phone in the car, so no pictures 🙄
Also, we like the whale sculpture. It has whale sounds and interactive stuff for kids.

GM.
It's too early for a Saturday, but we have to get our undead car to Dundee and pick up the shiny new(ish) one.

Am I still giggling at this two days later... yes. But to be fair, these guys are wholesome as heck.

Today marks 25 years since I got together with my husband. He's a nutter.

What sort of dumbass would crochet rotten vegetables for a pair of nerds to throw at each other...
Oh that was me 😁

Well our car is officially too messed up to repair, so we're having a sudden trip to Dundee at the weekend to pick up a shiny newish one. It's a big ole pumpkin-mobile. Must buy ridiculous stickers to go on it! It's been ages since we had bats on our car.

Shogun has never shown interest in the telly before, but tonight's @devilligan.bsky.social community Phasmo stream fascinated him. Both the cats wanted my cheese.
