  Ugh. Sick. Stupid viruses.

  New hat just came off my crochet hook. I finished it, tried it on and the 11yr old instantly said "Mum, can you make me one in black", so I guess thats a good sign. #crochet #fiberarts #yarn

  Been doing a little #dnd prep today, including having some fun with making some maps, and realised we have a set up that might be of interest to others. We have an old tv in our gaming room (technically our dining room, but its filled with #boardgames and #ttrpg books and minis, so we call it the #gaming room). The tv has a dongle connected to it that means we can cast to it from a laptop. I (as the dm) add all my map assets, character portraits, location moodboards etc. to owlbear.rodeo, and...

  My husband - who very much likes entering random online competitions run by random companies - just rang me and told me he has won a robot lawn mower. Awesome. Kind of makes up for the fact that our old dishwasher just crapped out, meaning we have to get a new one. The universe giveth, and the universe taketh away. #winner_winner_chicken_dinner #appliances #homeowner

  My husband woke up this morning and instantly began laughing so hard that he had tears in his eyes. I was like "What on earth?" Once he had calmed down enough, he told me that he had a dream where he had to pitch to some TV executives the idea of a new police/detective procedural with a twist. The show would center around a particular cop with the nickname "The Tuner". First half of the show is tracking down the bad guy. Next half is the interrogation. The Tuner is a gre...

  Visiting #Kerteminde #Danmark today and whilst the rest of the fam went to look at fishing gear, I stopped into www.gallerihavn.dk for a cheeky peruse. Got about halfway and stopped at this piece and wanted it with all my heart and soul. I did not have the funds for it. I believe the artist is Tine Lindvig. They had many other pieces there that were beyond amazing, including one that depicted a toddler and baby in a garden where the toddler was spraying the baby with a garden hose. As a paren...

  Just want to spend the day with some cosy #crochet projects and play a few relaxing #games. But no, I have to spend it dealling with #hacking attempts on client websites. I tell ya, this type of work, where I am dealing with malicious activity on my clients sites has increased exponentially since #AI became prevalent. These fuckers wont even let a #freelancer take a bit of time off now.

  The 13 year old is all packed and ready to go to his first LAN party with his mates. The kitchen table is currently covered in computer bits, ready to be packed in the car. Makes me remember of all the #NeverwinterNights LAN parties I went to in the early 2000s. So much fun. I love that he can experience this gamers right of passage. I mean gaming online is great and all, but there is something to be said for the joy that comes from all sitting in the same computer filled room, eating chips an...

  After 18 years away from #australia I sometimes get a little homesick. But I've found a sure fire way to location/age check the folks I interact with online, to make sure I get the best possible medicine. All I have to do is ask folks to complete the following song lyric: "Have you ever, ever felt like this..." #australian #aussie

  @holsta Haha well there's why us aussies and Danes always get along :p And has probably contributedto why I have mostly felt at home here on dk for these last 18 years

  My #DnD players found a fancy mirror in our game that is actually a communication device for a nefarious cult. They have had it in a bag of holding for a while but have now taken it out and realised that it whoever is on the other side of the mirror might be able to hear them. They asked in a magic shop if there was a way to block sound to it, and I quickly made up "The Blanket of Silence". I have no idea if this item is too powerful, too pointless, too silly etc, but it&amp...

  Our first #garlic #harvest ever! Thanks to our wonderful friend (and resident Druid in our regular #DnD group) who gifted us some bulbs from her harvest last year along with some awesome tips for cultivating and care. All ready for curing now, but you can bet that at least one of these beauties is getting put on some homemade pizza tonight! #gardening #KitchenGardening #VeggieGardening #garden #GrowYourOwn

  You know what happens when you run a #DnD game where all of the players are IRL #Archaeologists ? They get to know each other and then use moments of downtime to plot working on future research projects together. #TTRPG gaming leads to #Science , people! It's a gateway drug! 😆 #DungeonsAndDragons #ttrpgs #History #DungeonMaster

  Had an awful nightmare that woke me up at 0430. Wasn't getting back to sleep after that so came down and made the daily lunches, had a cup of coffee and checked on the seedlings. The whole fam is due wake up in 5min and now Im back to feeling like I could sleep again. But I know if I have a nap, I'll be grumpy for the rest of the day. Ugh. Stupid nightmare. Ruining my whole damn morning. #sleep #morning #tired

  Is there a way to NOT have infinite scroll on #mastodon ? Like have pagination instead? I've already got slow mode activated, but would like pagination. #mastodonHelp #FediHelp

  I just told my kids (in a long winded and overly dramatic manner) the story of the supercomputer, Deep Thought. How it was set the monumental task of answering the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, and that after eons of calculations it finally returned the answer: 42. Kids were looking at me like I was a nutbag, and rolling their eyes. Then I asked them.... "What's 6x7?" They lost their goddam shit, and left for school giggling their heads...

  I have the best idea for a #DnD character that I probably wont get to play cause I'm currently the DM of my group... Hear me out! A Bugbear Vermin Lord Ranger who has the Magic Initiate feat at level 1 and uses it to cast Find Familiar. Her favourite familiar is a Giant Fly, that (since she is medium sized and the fly is large sized) she can ride, thus giving her a fly speed of 60ft. Now, since the giant fly has no other actions but it acts on it's own initiative in combat,...

  I think I have finally discovered how to lure my husband to the fediverse! There appears to be an active #afol community! Yes! He'll be all up for that! #lego

  "🎵🎶 I am a dwarf and I dug another hole! Diggy diggy hole! Diggy diggy hole* 🎶🎵" * where 'hole' = yet another raised bed for our #KitchenGarden Husband and I always joke that when the news of the world is scary and depressing, we deal with it by creating yet another raised bed and growing more vegetables. And since the orange shit goblin and his ilk might be around for at least another few years then we've def got plans for a few more beds. Yes I too...

  My danish teen and his danish mates are in the gaming room playing Cockroach Poker. For some reason, they have all also decided that this is the perfect time to practise their German. So they're currently yelling at each other in german about flies, toads, bats and spiders then breaking down in fits of giggles. Its friggen hilarious to sit and listen to. #teens #teenagers #parenting #kids #boardgames #language #multilingual
