Pony Corral / Re: Restoration Advice

I've looked into sunfading a lot and I'm not a fan. I've bought too many ponies from knowledgable collectors only to have them go yellow or brown. Once the plastic goes brown there's nothing you can do. But a few highlighter marks I can ignore on a nice pony. You could tie a ribbon around that DS leg to hide the mark or try some other pony wear like legwarmers. You might be able to improve the scuff mark with a nail file or fine sand paper.

Once I tried to read the Bible like a chapter book. I was 7 or 8, I believe.

Have you read The Power of Now at all?

I made the pizza!!! The dough was enough for four portions so I may make a flatbread later, as the sauce is enough for three. My bought pregrate went perfectly on top & it was amazing!!! Heating the veggies in the air fryer for 5 minutes helps the pizza be less soggy too. Allo in all yum!!! Watch a fun film later, got bd wishes for Bakana on the sharky server while saying happy bd to her bd twin on there (she's exactly the same age as the main shark on the server!!!), then went to bed around midnight. Was a long day so I slept for a good while.
Oh & I only have one pic left to take...

Heya, pizza sounds great! We have tried with a normal bread recipe but not had great results. Have you got any tips?

@cowboypossum woa Dostoyevski! Reading Dostoyevski at the moment is a great idea. I loved Crime and Punishment. Well, at least it definitely left an impression on me! I'm on a more spiritual tip at the moment though and have read The Power of Now recently. I then decided to read the Bible from start to finish, like a novel. Well, I'm on Samuel. It's a challenge that's all I can say. Today is a quiet day. Mum is in hospital so no visit from Grannie today. No swimming due to the school holidays. I'm not sure if baby notices these things but I will take her out to a cafe with kid's toys later today I think. She deserves some activities this week.

I thought I had done more, turns out that I have done more pose swaps to the walking/Moondancer pose not Gusty or Buttons pose.

Love pkw xxx

Oh wow, that red! I'd love to have custom Moondancer and Sunlight one day in pretty much any other unicorn pose.

Yay for chickens! I wish we could have some here. Which breed are you getting?

Its Monday again, yesterday we went to see Dad and my sister was also there. My Mum is in hospital with a kidney stone, all a bit worrying but not the worst news. Today it's just me and the baby, who is now huge and not really a baby any more. She now has wellies. But still not quite walking and still not quite teeth. I will take her to play group in the afternoon.

Just went to the supermarket with my Mum and the baby. I've torn a ligament in the top of my left foot hefting the baby around and I need to rest it really. Fairly uneventful day so far.

Pony Corral / Re: Hasbro's Most Baffling MLP Decisions
« on: January 29, 2024, 03:49:45 AM »

Hasbro is never good at My Little Pony from day one. They never respect little girls enough to put in meaningful effort. The toys keep getting worse.

I agree that the toys keep getting worse, but I think some magic must have happened for G1 to be created. Some alignment of talent produced a truly magical thing and that's certainly why I'm here.

I'm going to playgroup with the baby after lunch. Have had a fairly quiet morning: put on a casserole, picked some flowers, bought some baby shoes (more complicated than I thought!) and talked to a recruiter.

I didn't get the job. I just need to keep applying, it's OK for now. I'm going to my Mum and Dad's today to meet up with my sister and niece. My daughter will love seeing her cousin who is a lot older but they like spending time together. The snow never transpired here, just one hard frost.

I applied for a boring job this morning, hoping boring will be good. I don't like the idea of excitement at work any more it makes me twitchy. I had to do it today as the deadline is tomorrow, but it's Sunday and now I don't feel at all relaxed. Might make some coffee and try and catch some TV before my daughter wakes up.

Go geocaching.

I went with my niblings one summer and it was a lot of fun.

Oh wait, you usually need an app.  But I guess you could always download and print a map and then it would be like a real treasure hunt.

A PBW: I'm glad you made it to carol singing, I love stuff like this, even more as time goes by. I took the baby to church last Sunday and we met a lot of people from our area.

Today I'm not sure what I'll do. I've been awake since midnight. I tried to throw two people off our property the other day who were trampling around in the garden. I tried to insist that they shouldn't be on our property without permission, they explained that they were trying to catch an escaped duck. I then saw this very small and ordinary looking duck and got really angry. It's not an excuse in my opinion. They were dashing around on the veg beds and near the beehives. They eventually left in their own time. So I've been feeling pretty shocked and upset about that. Plus yesterday my Mum took a photo on her google smartphone with myself and the baby in it. I've expressly said I'm not happy for anyone to take photos on smartphones since day 1 and only use offline devices to take photos of the baby. I know it sounds eccentric but it's my decision. She knows I'm furious with her because I caught her and made her delete it. I hope she actually did. I saw her sneaky expression when she was doing it and it makes me feel really sad and let down by her. But my daughter has a weekly relationship with her. So anyway, Christmas not going well so far!

We heard a bright robin singing today, high up in the trees. Robin's aren't revered for their song compared to some other birds, maybe they are just more famous for the red breast. But it was incredibly beautiful.

Lovely ideas thank you! When I lived in London I used to navigate without a smartphone because I hate having 'location services' switched on. But the bus stops have maps in them as you say and they can be very useful. I can agree that navigating in London is a sport in itself. Infact, navigating public transport anywhere can be seen as a challenge and actually pretty good fun.
