(no subject)

As I got a meal ready yesterday I was listening to something on Radio 4 which (unusually) filled me with squick. One artist was talking about preparing garments made of meat, specifically offal; another talked about performance art featuring people 'having sex with offal'. I'm quite willing to concede that this is art, but, ick!!

I have now set out five smallish shawls to block in the spare bedroom. Quite an impressive display. I hate blocking.

I also did the ironing yesterday afternoon. It's good to have standards.

I only ever seem to bake when I have bananas that are too overripe to eat as they are. I did a quite decent banana cake with chocolate chips, which went excellently well with some mascarpone that I'm sure I had a purpose for when I bought it. Well, the cake is now all gone - I finished the last of it at my Virtual Biddy's session last night. Not up to the standards of Biddy's cake, but one does what one can.

Lost to improvement

I have woe. The Random icon button is now hiding. Not when you prepare a post, but when you comment, there is a More Options button instead of Browse and Random buttons. So you can still get to it, it just takes three times as long.

I can understand why they did it, but still, woe! Nobody is ever going to discover the joy of Random icons in comments now the option isn't clearly visible. I love Random. It is so often psychic (how did they program that?). You should all use it! If you reply to this post, hit Random and see what happens, just as I am going to do.
