We walked over to Pyrmont to check out the lovely @cityofsydney Sydney Streets Festival. Stilt walkers, ribbon twirlers, live music, lots of activities for kids and families… A small bit of sunshine and happiness that I really needed this week. ❤️☀️

Easy Eyelet Yoke Sweater is past the sleeve division! I made the same modification as last time – immediately knitting the sleeve cuffs so I could keep the colours aligned with the body stripes. Now it’s just the long stockinette body slog… which I’ll be doing at the cricket tomorrow! 🧶 🏏

If, like me, you’ve decided to give Spotify the boot because of their insistence on platforming morons contributing to the downfall of society, I can recommend the app Playlisty for transferring your playlists and favourites elsewhere. A one-time fee of $5 and it works great.

Landscaping update: cement truck! By the end of the day, we’ll have garden stairs again.

Anyone interested in a pair of tickets for Me First & The Gimme Gimmes in Sydney tomorrow night? I deliberately bought seated tickets so I wouldn’t have to stand all night, but they’ve moved the show to the Metro which is *only* standing. (It’s particularly galling that those of us who paid extra for seats now get “early access”… so we can stand even longer. WTF.)
