Just home from seeing Helloween in concert. 40 years and still sound absolutely amazing. The sound, the show, the lighting & video effects...just brilliant!
Oh, and it's -10°C. Said it'd be cold tonight.

Playing with pastels...bit shit, but given that I haven't touched the messy bloody things since about 1982, when my mum threatened me with death if I ruined ANOTHER school shirt while using them, it'll do for a first attempt. 😆

So, sinusitis, bronchitis and a middle ear infection...and of course I still have this bloody cold.
If anyone needs me I'll be in bed, propped up on too many pillows, groaning weakly for more beef tea and laudanum, like some consumptive heroine in a Victorian gothic novel. 🙄

Labels on doors, cupboards, drawers etc..
"Bathroom", "socks", "underpants", plates", "glasses". 🙄

...This resulted in a full-blown meltdown, with J beside herself that the revolting thing would dissolve entirely.
Rescued from the machine & dried, today I dug out the sewing machine, made it a pretty, washable case, repaired the repairs and all is well again.
All whilst wondering WTF time is it?!

Kouign amann... pronounced "queen amann".
Homemade salted Breton butter puff pastry, caramelised sugar and a little bit of salted caramel cream, because why not? Thought I'd grab a photo while there are still a couple left...
Not bad for a 1st attempt.
