Starting the day with a bit of Placebo. Nice.

Just found out my wierd thumbs have a name! Behold, I give you Brachydactyly type D

Time to learn FreeCAD and get myself free of the Autodesk trap. #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

This is the warning label on one of my blood pressure monitors. There are a few funny things there, but number five makes me piss myself every time.

Zimbabwe Black, a striking plant with dark leaves and fruit. They ripen to a bright red so they really pop when they are ripe. Lovely flowers too.

How do you stop these tatty loose threads? In the block it helps with fill, but the edges look terrible. #CrossStitch

Changing the purple for the peach in my pattern. The fill on the purple is too different and it was the only colour that wasn’t UV reactive. The peach will work better I think. #CrossStitch

Some of our flowers 🙂

Looked at upgrading my PC to 64GB of memory. Apparently I need the economy of a small nation to do that. 😫

Manages some #CrossStitch last night, not much but was nice to have the time and energy.

Not touched my #CrossStitch for a couple of weeks for various reasons including migraines, heat, and lack of time. Decided to do some this afternoon but I keep my patterns electronically and my iPad battery is dead 😢

This is my unknown chillie, lost the label ages ago. It is doing really well in the tent, very compact. Might put it outside tomorrow though.

Also we went to see a band in the week. The support band, Skunk Anansie have been on my list of bands to see before I die, plus I don’t mind MCR. What I will say is it was an amazing show, The Black Parade set was amazing, the theatrical elements were fantastic.

I decided to design and print this self watering plant pot holder. 10 hour print and 500g of filament, would be cheaper to buy one lol.

Couple of weeks ago my green chillies had no heat. Just bit one straight off the plant and that has definitely changed. 🌶️🔥🥵 #SchoolboyError.

Whatcha think?

Why did I not make plant labels with actual vegetables on them? The bee, ladybird etc are nice but I missed a trick with peppers!

Here is a tigerella ripening on the vine, plus a sweet capsicum still growing.

A work colleague gave me a naga a few months ago, it was a bit runty but always worth a go. Now it is a triffid.
