pensnestThis was the star turn at the 2016 LABBS convention. They were wonderful. Somehow a lot of the charm is lost when it isn't live.
They weren't the winners. Amersham A Cappella are next up (on my screen, anyway) and also well worth a look and listen.

Some completely different stuff I read on the internet today:
A bloody awesome rant by an abortion doctor addressed to Representative Marsha Blackburn. Righteous.
A very sad but entirely worth reading piece by a woman who had a late-term abortion.

Phew. It's nice to have a chance to sit down at the computer. When I came home from yesterday's training session (after a morning of Yoga and Aqua) I had to help Beast move a sofa into the kitchen so that grandpa could watch telly in there. Our actual lounge is emptying fast, although for the moment there are objects in it from the dining room, which is now divided in twain by a sinister, black-clad partition, as the chaps will be taking out the wall soon. Hmm. Frost yesterday, frost today... could we have picked a better time to have a wall removed from our house? No, surely not. Eh, at least it is happening. There is still a hole under the house on the southern side, but a complex arrangement of steel supports has been laid and concrete will arrive soon. I think.
The evening was filled with ironing, and I finished knitting a hat.

Date: 2016-12-02 02:37 pm (UTC)There are bricks on the dining room extension! Actual bricks! Underground bricks, but still. And the mighty network of steel supports is now filled with concrete, so my house no longer rests on a foundation approx 150mm thick (WTF!!!) but on something very considerably sturdier. Also, we went to the kitchen place this week and selected doors and handles and worktop and taps and stuff and it is all Very Pleasing!
Huh. I do not seem to have an icon that says AUGH!!
