Today I've had an idea for a simple top, low waste, with an elastic drawstring neck that can be adjusted at different widths, including off-the-shoulders.

I've almost finished cutting a piece of fabric that I've had in my stash for a while, waiting for a suitable project (it has a non-uniform print that made it hard to decide a good pattern to make use of it).

It's most definitely a modern project.

So now the obvious thing to do is to sew everything by hand, right?

(I'm not sure whether this is to procrastinate cleaning the table with the sewing machine, or to be able to use tiny sewing allowances, since the fabric is very lightweight.)

health, ~

I love it when I wake up with a pretty low blood pressure, it's already starting to get hot, I haveยน to walk to the pharmacy, stuff happens and I don't manage to have breakfast before doing so.

at least it's a short walk, and there is also a convenient post box very close, so I also sent a postcard :)

ยน technically I could have asked my SO to go, instead we went together, but that meant that we had to go earlier

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

salute, ~

Adoro alzarmi con la pressione bassa, sta giร  iniziando a fare caldo, devoยน andare in farmacia, succedono casini e non riesco neanche a fare colazione prima di andarci.

di buono c'รจ che รจ qui vicino, e c'รจ anche una comoda cassetta della posta quasi sul percorso, quindi ho anche spedito una cartolina :)

ยน tecnicamente avrei potuto chiedere al mio compagno di andarci, invece siamo andati assieme, ma la cosa dava piรน vincoli di tempo

My mother's washing machine is breaking down, and she lives close enough that I'm washing all of her laundry.

Now, I like being able to fill more loads and wash things more often, rather than have them accumulate until the laundry basket is overflowing, so I'm not encouraging her to buy a new machine (an attempt at repairing hers has already been done, and failed).

My real question is: should I do the proper #victorian thing and embroider my husband's initials on all of our household items? should I do a radical feminist thing and embroider my own initialsยน? And what should I do with the bedsheet that already has my great-grandfather initials on it?

ยน or rather design. which has the advantage of having a form that is extremely easy and quick to embroider, and I already use on my conference t-shirts that are identical to @Diego Roversi 's ones :D

twitter, shitposting, en, it

Finally, the twitter shitstorm reached a point where I was personally affected and I had to do something. I just added a key combination to my keyboard map to easily get ๐Ÿฟ.

E alla fine, il casino di twitter mi ha coinvolta personalmente, dandomi cose da fare. Ho appena aggiunto una combinazione di tasti alla mia mappa tastiera per poter digitare rapidamente ๐Ÿฟ.

And I've just managed to refactor a long file with tons of #ifdef into a hierarchy of classes, in C++, a language I have vague notions about, through the establish industry practice of copying stuff from stackoverflow.

No, the code isn't anywhere where it can be seen.

Yes, if this fails somewhere the worst that can happen is that I have to get up from my chair to know whether the temperature is higher outside or inside.

And I really needed a project where I could give myself permission to do things that only work for me, rather than having to consider other possible usecases, and possibly even to do bad things, like this one.
