Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to NZ myself to pick it out but rather down the highway to Costco again🧶🍷31 Jan 2025 22:05 +0000at://did:plc:ba2zf3466raqbeoj46qeeowg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lh2yydbwbc27https://bsky.app/profile/lyricalknits.bsky.social/post/3lh2bxal4d224Yesterday’s wine pairing: A lovely Malbec with English Country Cheddar and crackers from Costco as well as gorgeous teal yarn that is not from Costco. Yeah I normally pair white wine with knitting but we’re living dangerously here… 🧶🍷31 Jan 2025 15:12 +0000at://did:plc:ba2zf3466raqbeoj46qeeowg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lh2bxal4d224https://bsky.app/profile/lyricalknits.bsky.social/post/3lgxzv4mgsc27Eating yogurt the day after it expires.

Cold sores are caused by a virus (HSV-1) and a primary infection in a newborn can be quite dangerous. I actually canceled my trip to see my little grandchild (for the 1st time) because I had a cold sore crop up 2 days ago.15 Jan 2025 19:48 +0000at://did:plc:ba2zf3466raqbeoj46qeeowg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfsjvjzyp22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/lyricalknits.bsky.social/post/3lfkhwuyojs2vStick Season is out on Ravelry.
