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.
 I'm practically Amish these days.

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.

Hello all, today we are going to have a quiet morning and then go to the library for baby singing. I just bought some streamers and balloons for the house. I wasn't going to but the house looks a bit bare. Mum and Dad are coming for Christmas day and the baby's birthday is in early January. So far I've managed the tree, a wreath for the door and two working strings of vintage lights (I'm 'allergic' to most LEDs so this is quite a feat). However, I think we've exhausted re-using, re-purposing and using natural stuff from the garden, now a bit of bling is needed.

Hello all, I'm going to wash up and then go over to my Mum's house with the baby. We are going to look through Muma nd Dad's Chrsitmas decorations and share some things.
Beldarna, your kitchen sounds amazing! I can imagine a gorgeous scent.
@PBW I also had a festive fiddle putting the hand-tied bows on my Christmas tree so I did one at a time in between other things.

I still have stuff. Doubles. Things I need to get rid of. But I just don't want to deal with the hassle
Same here!

This is a goldmine! Thank you! So many games 'physical' I've never heard of so I will have a lot of fun looking all of those up. Just a quick one I love the idea of going to a huge empty sports field and playing frisbee in the dark. That would be such a blast.

Artie sweet!!! I only have an artificial tree but I prefer that to getting a whole new one every year, but we're all different in what we like
I still have the same one, it's like a bonsai. I'm a nerd.

I am aiming to try at least one new non-internet based entertainment per month for the next year. However, I realised how few of these lawn or parlour type games I actually even know. I put Easter Egg Hunt in brackets because I've done it before. Can you make any suggestions?
December - Cards Against Humanity
January -
February -
March -
April - (Easter Egg Hunt)
May - Visit the horse sanctuary
June - Lawn croquet
July -
August - Seaside arcade (not the 2p machine I've already done it)
September - Bingo at the village hall
October -
November - Gin Rummy

People rework things to fit into how they want to see it. I am not even just talking about big world issues - though it happens there too - but it spreads to stupid little things like the plots of films, novels, or what happened in a football (soccer) game.
I don't really understand but apparently everything these days is someone else's fault.
I'm afraid it's symptomatic of a deepening problem that's affecting our society. It's called things like 'reframing' (in psychotherapy) 'spin' (in media) or post-truth. Anything open to access on the internet is not worth looking at anymore IMO or is actively misleading. I like books and asking people I know about stuff. Luckily I can make my own fun. But I'm off-topic. I agree that because we are a small, well moderated and responisble forum makes this place a gem. At it's best, it allows us a magic door back into the world of My Little Pony kept alive through collecting, customs and activities like drawing. I've already said how much I appreciate it here but it's worth saying again!

I just bought a a big drip tray/saucer online for our Christmas tree. It's rooted and growing in a pot. Currently it's sitting in a bucket and looks like a bucket inside a bucket, which I decided didn't look very good.This morning I put up another couple of sets of lights and I'm going swimming with the baby.

Hello all, just wondering what the current feeling is about using G1s with stickiness or age spots for custom projects? I have a few that are fairly bad and I'm not sure whether to advertise them or lay them to rest. I won't have time to work with them now. Sometimes if cleaned and dried etc. I have noticed that ponies like this can remain stable for some time but I couldn't guarantee it. If they are going to start leaking or getting worse again I'm not sure it would be worth the time and effort for a customiser.
