The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Are you expecting any more deliveries Lillie?

Alison??? (sorry if I've got your name wrong), can you have background noise or something playing while you're studying?

Sweet pizza is just a sweet pizza base with Nutella and whatever sweet toppings you like. It was kind of a failure anyway. At least I tried!

[Shirayuki]

It seems interesting Lindsay, (if you don't mind me using your first name!)
What happened?

A friend of mine told me to listen to You're Worth It by Cimorelli and I loved it and thought I should pass it on

Everyone is welcome to use my name.

The dough I made didn't cook right and didn't stay like a base it crumbled up. But I'm just going to eat it with Nutella and caramel chocolate.

Not into that sort of thing Rose but thanks for sharing anyway! How are you?

[Shirayuki]

Oh well, you tried!

Ooh caramel chocolate!

Sorry ^^"

I'm ok, you?

[The Worst Witch]

You were right, it is Alison. Yeah, when I go to study my flatmate is very good for turning down the tv and things, and nagging me. Its easier with the door closed, but the cats have started bashing their heads against the door to get in and I worry they’ll end up hurting themselves.

[Shirayuki]

Sorry it's so hard for you study Alison (if you don't mind me using your first name!)

Have you tried listening to music while working? I've found it helps me so I was just wondering...

[one_step_closer]

You could create a library-like environment somehow.

[The Worst Witch]

It should be easier tomorrow, I have online classes from 9-4. I’ll put low music on in the background for when tutor isn’t on video chat, that’s a good idea.

Thanks for the suggestion Rose!

Morning guys

Bertie knocked my tea over my crochet project. So that will smell delightful until I've finished it and can wash it. But he brought me his fav toy to say sorry. And one of my new plants got a new flower!!

[The Worst Witch]

Morning guys

Naughty Bertie! Although he did say sorry :P. What are you crotheting?

[chinahorse]

He then spent the next 20 mins play attacking me.

A blanket. It's always a blanket.

[The Worst Witch]

Aww, Soot does that to flatmate all the time. Its dead cute, I’m glad he’s still got a bit of kitten in him. I’m getting broody for more, but 3 cats is probably enough to be getting on with.

Cool! I’ve always wanted to learn how to crotchet. Is it difficult?

[chinahorse]

I'm broody for a kitten too. As a colleague was getting 2 but now is getting one and is trying to convince me to have the other.but I'm only allowed 1 per my tenancy and my landlord lives downstairs.

It's easy enough, much easier than knitting. I learnt the basics off a friend and the rest off of YouTube.

[The Worst Witch]

Cool! Theres a crocheting group in my town, I shall have to investigate once lockdown is over. If that ever happens!

Are you up to much today? My classes are gonna start soon, should see if my laptop survived the tea Junior spilt on it last night!

[chinahorse]

I hope the restrictions start easing soon.

Eek! Fingers crossed the laptop is ok.

Nothing planned today bar showering, washing bed linen and putting new bed linen on. My mum may be getting me cat litter. If not I need to go get some as its desperate to be changed. That pretty much it.

Hi everybody. I slept better again, thanks to PRN. Today I am making mushroom pasta for dinner.

[The Worst Witch]

Morning Tamo

Mushroom pasta sounds nice. Flatmate absolutely hates mushrooms though (says they’re slimy and horrible) but I don’t mind them. I hope you enjoy it.

[tamobhuuta]

Thanks. Some people are weird! I hope you enjoy your classes today.

[chinahorse]

It's the people who like mushrooms that are weird!

[tamobhuuta]

There should be a global survey on it.
