Quarter to ten, you know it's travellin' again

OMFG that was hard. And TrekBBS down too, just when I'd started posting there again after weeks and weeks of not even clicking on it.

I've been back at TerranBBS as well. I've become so sucked into LJ that I've felt very disinclined to post anywhere else for a long time, but I had the bright idea of talking some of my LJ cronies into registering - so far we have cottonmanifesto over there. I'd like a few others. I hope it takes.

Fireworks were pretty bad, but we seem to have come through OK. The cats were a huge help. I could see Spike visibly relax and perk up when they all piled out of the cat room and Fat Hamish rubbed against his legs and purred. Cats may suck, but they certainly have their uses.

Talking to crzmslmaven the other day has got me all interested in the idea of spinning dog hair into yarn. Spike has lovely fluffy silky hair that's (probably, just) long enough to spin. It's a nearly free hobby (I'd need a drop spindle but those are cheap and that's all) and it's a thing I could do while sitting watching TV programs - I could have a Spike scarf by next spring if I keep at it. I have quite a bagful of nice soft Spikefluff gathered already!

well, knowing me I'll just accumulate fluff in a bag for a year and then never do a damn thing with it, but at the moment hope is triumphing over experience - and at least it's a way of making sure I remember to brush Spike a lot. His fur never mats so I'm inclined to forget it for weeks at a time otherwise.
