Must not sleep yet. Just because I can't focus and my head is blurry and I can't do anything does not mean that sleep is a good plan. It is not a good plan. It is a bad plan.

Damn germs.

Knitting question. This thing:

Unrestricted linksDoes the cosy niceness trump the fact that it's the kind of thing my mother used to dress me in

Aw, that is very cosy-nice. You were a nattily-dressed toddler.

I was in smocked dresses and cute rabbit cardigans at a school full of miniature eighties children. It makes photos less awful to look back on (Mummy has 1337 clothes-making skills, oh yes) but I suspect it has contributed to the Argh I Am Different bit of my brain.

I can't think what garment it is that that hooded thing reminds me of but there's definitely something. Maybe I'll email t'mother and ask. I need to ask her about mending the binding on her childhood Wind in the Willows anyway.

Cosy! And lookit the pointy hood!

I know! I crave it quite a lot!

Broken sleep is huger in some ways because at least with generic winter germs you know they will go away. I got through to actual evening that was nearly night last night just by reading bits of Internet, so I am all Bright and Early, which may or may not end in disaster as my body realises it can't do Normal.

I have Badger sleep balm that I suspect of cunningly working by making me massage my shoulders a bit and thus relaxing me. It smells nice if you like that sort of smell, unless you don't in which case it is awful.

I have decided that the pointy hood is acceptable because (a)if I did have one like it at a small age it just means I was hugely hip and (b)hippies wear them things all the time.
