Phone in left front pocket, keys in right front pocket. Nothing else, that's all I need if I'm just stepping out. I have several hobbies though, and I have a separate backpack/bag for each one, loaded and ready to go.

Here in Scotland, yes. I usually opt for a phone appointment because I'm lazy. It's never urgent but I can still get one within a couple of days. And that's with the surgery having recently closed its list to new patients because of a population surge in the town (new housing).

I had a dog who'd lived rough and he stole stuff too. The pack of toilet paper was his biggest disappointment - "Hey this is all wrapping! There's nothing inside!"

I was minding a friend's cat one time. She wanted out into the back garden, but changed her mind when she saw the rain. She walked through to the front door and meowed there. I had to open the door and show her that yes it's raining on this side of the house too.

Following up on that, I'd been trying to remember the song in Blazing Saddles, when they literally break the fourth wall and there's an anachronistic musical number being filmed - it's called "The French Mistake". https://youtu.be/FezOkjeNs5Y

The swamps of Dagobah.

There was this Russian website where you could download whole albums for like 50 cents. I absolutely loved it, because as well as current hits it also had the most obscure, crazy stuff, classical music, jazz, and world music. I think they're all in prison now, the guys who ran it.

I was born in the year Princess Elizabeth became Queen. Also, Evita died that year.

Sock blankets (sh.itjust.works)

Thrilled to have found a Lemmy knitting group! I'm a sock obsessive, I just love knitting socks, so I've ended up with an staggering amount of "scrap" yarn. The solution - blankets. This is my second Cosiest Memories project and this time I have a Plan. The first one was truly random, with lots of placement errors. When it was finished I did a dark icord edge, and suddenly it was smart!

So for the second one I'm adding an inner border of that same colour and (eventually) will finish with icord. I might even knit some more socks!
