Don't worry about me, it was the right decision. I'm feeling better than I did before making that decision.
So, breaking glass, losing phones, I can't leave you guys alone for five minutes.

violently shut the one in the kitchen. The left glass is completely destroyed. I live on the first floor, so I'm lucky no-one was walking underneath
that window, cause 140 cm of glass broken in long sharp pieces can do a lot of damage on somebody's head. And fortunately it's summer, so I don't
really mind having a window half opened all the time. Now I'm waiting for the assurance company to react. And i've contacted a few glaziers to get the
job done. Unless I can do it myself, it musn't be more complicated than making a roof. |
Okay, I get it! It used to happen to us all the time in our old house, there was a door between the kitchen and the hall. If both the front door and
the back door were open, it could slam shut. I think the glass window in it broke about 7 times.
That was a single-sheet of window in an indoor setting, and Dad usually fixed it himself. Installing double glass that also needs to be a waterproof
fit is a lot more work.
And my BF (whose father is a builder with his own business) has often told me about how glass easily cuts you if it only slides a bit on your hand, so
wear tough gloves. |
I think I'll get it done by a professional, not that I feel unable to do it myself, but
since it gives on the streets, if anything happens after the repair, I'm sure my insurance company won't cover me cause it wasn't done by a pro.

Found the knitting needle that went missing like a month ago.
By the end of next month I'll be using my phone again!

Don't you think you probably left it at you bf's place?

I'm positive that the day before I lost it, I recharged it late in the evening at my place. I had the intention of putting it on the table, then
taking it with me to work the next morning. As I was recharging it, there was an app error and it restarted automatically.
I'm not even 100% sure if I put it on the table and put it in my pocket the next day - it was too early in the morning - but I do know that when I
arrived at work, I wanted to check the time but my phone wasn't in my pocket or in my backpack.

I hope you find it Bonny.
Just settling in to the middle of winter here. It's quite chilly today, but not by UK standards

I'm afraid so, but let's check home...
I even cycled back to work as soon as I noticed it wasn't at the table either - it's at 40 mins cycling. On the way back I hadn't found it and it was
raining cats and dogs.
Still on a knitting spree - after the jumper I made a pillowcase with a Celtic knot, and now I'm trying to find similar-but-not-matching cables. Just
stumbled onto this:

Intricate pattern, very satisfying when it's finished no doubt.

It's a bit tricky, yes... fortunately adding cables to the side didn't make matters much worse since I need to keep track of where I am anyway...
I'll go to my BF again on Sunday!

So your BF lives a long way from Eindhoven - must get a bit frustrating sometimes.

Yes and yes! Three hours by train (plus half an hour to get to his house by car)!

Reminds me of when my ex and I could only see each other once a month cause we lived 800 kilometres apart, that was sooo annoying, but when we met,
there was so much excitement and fun.

It always feels me with joy and excitement when I see a new username posting on this forum, but then, inevitably, I notice the post is about some sort
of sportswear, and I think: Oh, well, another spammer. The disappointment is strong with this one!
