My damask roses have begun flowering, and each morning I've been heading out into the garden to harvest the roses. They smell so amazing...

Uh oh, Twig & Tale are having a 25% off sale for November. I'm seriously tempted to get the Flourish Dress Coat, the Meadow Skirt, and the Wildflower Pinafore 🤔

Do any sewers know of a good sewing pattern for a summer dressing gown/robe. Preferable falls at mid calf.

My summer one is falling apart now, and no summer ones for sale are made out of a light enough cotton which will be cool enough for those of us who are perimenopausal and running hot 🥵

Good news, my bank returned the fraud money, so we haven't lost anything.

Stupid people stealing customer credit card details on websites :blobcat_angery:

The fact that 20.7% of the population believe in NZF and ACT's right wing policies, and votes doesn't fill me with any hope for NZ's future.

I guess it's a two week wait for the specials, and endless guessing and reckons from the media until then.

I"m just very relieved that Taieri stayed red last night, and that the right wing vote got split between National and NZF. #nzpol

Am super tired, but basil, capsicum chillies, cucumbers and tomatoes are now all planted in the glasshouse. I even cleaned the garage and vacuumed the stupid garage carpet.

Hubby is away for the day doing his civic duty as an election issuing officer.

It's just me and Missy and Rosie cat today, so I've officially declared it girls day. First thing to do today is clean the house 😬

I'm so unbelievably excited that Aurora and Bear McCreary have written a song together for LOTR Rings of Power TV series. They haven't released it yet, but I know it's going to be amazing 🤩

I've recently been reading about the rediscovery of the ancient grain, grano del miracolo, aka the wheat Triticum turgidum. The flour from this ancient grain is lower in gluten, and higher in iron and phosphorous and essential amino acids. Apparently it gives bread a nutty and sweet flavor, I would love to try it one day...

It's a very toasty 29.5˚C out there with a north west wind. I only lasted about 30 minutes out in the garden, now I'm all melty...

Gåte's new album is so good, it's pretty much on repeat at the moment. #music

Just heard our first fireworks. Rosie cat isn't amused.
