Best of luck

… but handy for a quick spray on a garment that needs turning from “excessively creased” to “ok if you’re not a perfectionist” This article sums it up quite well www.telegraph.co.uk/recommended/...

Can a crease release spray beat an iron or a clothes steamer? I found outThis low-cost alternative promises to smooth creases away with a spray. It won’t work, will it?www.telegraph.co.uk

I use an iron constantly because I’m a quilter and we’re pressing all the time. For clothes, I like my steamer but haven’t used it for ages. It’s best for larger garments, useless for sheets / pillowcases (which we don’t iron). Recently I discovered crease releaser spray - dubious chemicals …

Here’s wishing you lots of lovely sparkle (Related: a piece of one of my teeth fell off yesterday. Next available dentist appointment: Thursday 13th. Sigh.)

Oh my goodness, I’m sure you are.

Congratulations Our kitchen is being torn out tomorrow … building works started in October and might be finished by end of September

… comment from iammewhoareyou I really like this list. All my favorite books are on it Reply from read-and-be-merry Thanks I worked really hard on it

So sorry for your loss

Eggs. Not stolen birds eggs, more along the lines of Faberge 🤣 but (given that those are unobtainable and uninsurable) I’d look out for one like this mounted ostrich egg. Although there’s a snag: I gave away nearly all my semi-precious eggs a couple of years ago. auctionet.com/en/events/32...

Exciting match, slightly spoiled by being Phoenix supporter household due to Brummie husband

Nasty

Definitely a quilt inspiration there I’ve got some assorted grey fabrics that are looking for a pattern … #QuiltSky

Agree Don’t like the format at all, do really enjoy having every match broadcast live on the radio. Would like it even more if some men’s matches were earlier in the day and some women’s later

It’s been interesting to see plenty of empty seats at a couple of the televised matches. Presumably it’s all set up for the Indian TV market now?

I have always found it strange that “it’s absolutely terrible that is person born in gorgeous Cornwall seaside village has to move 5 miles inland to find accommodation” but also “this person was born on a sink estate in a poverty-stricken city area can’t move at all, and that’s absolutely fine”

I think @ianroddis.bsky.social’s post about “beautiful nonsense” captures this very conveniently. He was talking about NHS front-end but the same applies to any design system ianroddis.medium.com/the-path-of-...

The path of user needs, avoiding beautiful nonsense, and the shelves of wisdomAt work we like a good metaphor, even more so if we can tweet about it in an abstract fashion without revealing too much of the inner…ianroddis.medium.com

Congratulations. Related? The most popular post by far on my website must be linked by a far more visited site than mine - but I have no idea where or why #SocialMystery

Very enjoyable listen too

… that I quote research by Dan Ariely and others which has since been shown to be fraudulent. An ironic twist in a discussion that centres on trust and assurance. www.effortmark.co.uk/signatures-s...

Haven’t seen the movie but loved the audio book
