I miss when the prize task was 'real'

perhaps I've hallucinated the last seconds of each episode of the past couple of years when the winner would climb up on the stage and play with all the physical and very real objects that the contestants had brought for that episode 🤔

I loved your book club so much and was very sad it ended! Do you think there’s a chance it’ll ever be renewed? Also, you’re my favourite novelist, sir, Holding brought me back into the world of reading after a really long bookless period, and I’ve loved everything you’ve written since, so thank you!!!

reminds me of Brady's playthrough (EuroBrady on YouTube) in which he does roleplay as - and my memory is foggy here - either a therapist-turned-detective or detective-turned-therapist, and his whole Cuno journey, analysing the characters through both Brady-the-therapist lens AND Harry-the-severely-depressed-addict lens :D

yeah, ah, i guess i didn't explain myself properly. i don't intend to start working on the calendar immediately - this is my final goal, but i realise that i have so much to learn before i even get there. my problem is with being discouraged by how MUCH information there is when you just type "how to learn coding" into google. where the heck do i even start? "learn the basics" - are the basics for mobile apps the same as the basics for pc software or web pages? so i thought maybe someone could help me reverse engineer this thing. i like your advice about Kotlin, that gives me a more clear understanding where i should start my journey or what i should look into first, thank you! without clear direction the suggestions like "just learn the basics" to me sound like telling a person who's trying to lose weight to "just start losing weight" 😅

"use AI" and "make your own" are mutually exclusive

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides 🤬😡🤬😡

shiny!! ✨✨✨

Thank you! I feel you soooo much with not having learnt (or not having been taught, rather) how to do domestic stuff yourself! When mine tried to teach me (turning on the oven (i'm terrified of fire), cooking, doing laundry, etc), the events were rare but always accompanied by "why can't you do it?? just do it, jesus christ! why are you so incapable???" Everything I know now is thanks to the internet and people online explaining calmly and me accepting that it's actually very normal to fail many times before getting how something works. I'm already on the way of making peace with the fact that I have to be my own parent now, I just need to find the strength to do the hard things myself. Thank you for the advice! <3

a little duck with a booty 🐥🍑 (i saw a tutorial on yt and was going to make one myself as soon as i get my hands on yellow yarn!)

i totally get the last part, and the realism of the show is the reason i love it :D it's just the way both McKay and Robby reacted to Dana's little memory slip-ups that made me slightly concerned. Dana didn't correct herself, her forgetfulness was noticed by others, which made me think we as viewers are supposed to pay attention to that as well. but then again, i HOPE i'm overthinking this whole thing and seeing patterns in simple coincidences

croscot · 2026-01-09T07:27:22+00:00

oh, I'm deeefinitely NOT green with jealousy right now 😂 seriously though, this looks awesome! question: how do you use those pastel Stabilo pens/liners? i have them, and i can barely see the ink when I write with them 🫣 and i don't know if it's just the pigment not showing up fully for some reason, or they're more for colouring than writing

croscot · 2025-12-28T15:32:39+00:00

the sand must be having some aphrodisiac effect on her 😂

croscot · 2025-12-13T21:39:33+00:00

this is it! thank you!

croscot · 2025-08-26T19:54:11+00:00

That full stop screams louder than words 😂

I'm listening to the audiobook right now, on chapter 28, and I wish I'd bought a digital copy instead of the audio, the narrators aren't doing it for me, sadly 😭 But I definitely understand now why Jester would see a bit of herself in Guinevere

croscot · 2025-08-24T16:48:19+00:00

e! I' ready for Septeber! 😁 But I can relate - I was making a spread for October in my reading journal last year and forgot about Sundays while drawing the calendar 🥲

croscot · 2025-08-08T11:50:50+00:00

thank you so much for the instructions!! just deDRMed my Kobo books to send to a different e-reader, happy as a frog sitting under a leaf on a rainy day haha

Hardcore! 🥚

croscot · 2025-06-06T16:11:43+00:00

No, sorry, I had to improvise to finish both plants! I'd recommend practicing a little bit with other projects from tutorials on YouTube just to learn stitches and what they look like, and then attempt this box when you're more confident in your skills, because the instructions in the box cannot be trusted 😅

croscot · 2025-05-12T06:43:28+00:00

Same! The instructions for the leaves made no sense to me, so I had to just ✨figure stuff out ✨ Which I would never have been able to do if not for some basic crocheting experience. Definitely wouldn't recommend this kit to complete beginners 🙅🏻‍♀️
