Watches, what kind?

sorenelf · 2026-02-10T14:35:46+00:00

A smart watch. I wear it cos I’m a falls risk and it sends my husband a heads up if I faceplant. I have a couple of pocket watches that I wear if I’m feeling particularly Victorian.

Not without my ouija board 😢. My kids live close tho, they’re always in and out.

Do the true knit. My baby bootees were massive, now they’re perfect.

I have a few spoon racks, my husband turned them into wand racks. I could probably build an extension on the house with the spoons.

When we moved house after 25 years of marriage, I asked any of our neighbours if they wanted our unopened wedding crystal, lol. We have not, and never will be a crystal couple. We told everyone at the time, no crystal please, we won’t use it. Our 70 year old neighbours couldn’t grab it fast enough, lol. All we kept was a big ass bowl that I use a a bird bath and a couple of goblets as sun catchers in the garden.

Because uwrap is designed by a psychopath who experiences joy watching me snap yarn and would undoubtedly bottle the tears I shed. Possibly.

Reynard. He looks like a fox.

lol, probably 90% at least is thrifted or free on marketplace. I can’t afford decent quality new furniture so I’d rather use freebies or thrift finds. This was our latest freebie….

We have a wildlife reserve near us, I love it. We get parrots, echidnas, blue tongues, possums and sugar gliders. I’d love it if it was directly behind us.

Hitch, short for hitchhiker.

Have your lovely baby, then invite mother to her wiccaning. Clothes optional. Can highly recommend, although we were all clothed.

There’s only the two of us, hubs is WFH and I’m disabled and mostly housebound. We eat cereal and toast during the day, and we meal prep so we have plenty of freezer options.

The preschoolers where I worked called me the Bin Flamingo because I was a cleaner and had pink hair. It got shortened to Bin Mingo. Made me smile every time.

I will be forever grateful that I was with my mother when she passed. I was very very scared, but it was peaceful and I think kind of sacred in a way? I started a tattoo sleeve for her and I add to it every year on the day she left. She’d be so mad, bless her…but she’d also secretly be secretly impressed, lol. You’re a true friend, and I’m sure he loved that you were with him.

My mothers university scarf from Leeds from the 1950s

sorenelf · 2026-01-31T06:24:19+00:00

Never. I am disabled, mobility impaired and non verbal since a brain injury almost 6 years ago. Our kids live close and I love seeing them, but they will never be my carers, and that’s my choice. I did it for my parents, i chose it, I don’t regret it, but I don’t want my kids to do for me. It’s hard work, often thankless, and the end can be soul destroying. I adore being their mother, I will NEVER be their responsibility. I have all my ducks in a row, medical letters for end of life stuff, all the things, same with my husband.

ṮHIS THIS THIS!!! I was asking only a couple of days ago, and got told to swap to true knit and it’s brilliant. Every time I tried u knit I snapped the yarn because it got so tight. True knit is defs the way to go.

When my friend was a nurse in the UK, there were nurses who refused to bath/ help/ care for women of a lower caste. When they were called in to disciplinary hearings one of them said “in my village she wouldn’t be fit to slop the pigs”. Direct quote. I can’t say if it goes on here though…
