OK, so this one is gross.

I said the new stoma belt didn't inhibit Sibyl. I should have added "normally". If she's clearing a mini-blockage, all bets are off. Mini-blockages are apparently quite random occurrences; a full-on blockage is caused by eating the wrong food, and you feel absolutely deathly for a few hours till it unblocks, but mini-ones... who knows? You just feel a bit off-colour, think you've got bad wind, and then she unblocks herself. Often, as in this case, very suddenly.

Sigh. That T-shirt was about to go in the wash anyway...

My SCA tunic is nearly finished; but then it's a very easy job - literally two rectangles, a little bit of on-the-fly neckline shaping, and making all the edges neat. Which was basically what they did at the time - the belt will provide the shaping.

The next thing will be to make my Simple Wimple. It's not actually known whether 5th/6th century Celtic Britons wore anything on their heads or not, so I'm going to say... OK, they do, because that's likely a great deal more historically accurate than my rather drastic short crop!

I really dislike words and phrases that are thought up by marketers and that nobody ever uses (unironically) in real life... such as "fave". Who actually says that? The latest one is "picky bits", meaning snack foods, though I have been informed that there are people out there who do say that in real life. I haven't met any of them, however.

It's the same sort of annoyance I felt as a child when adults said things like "bickie" for "biscuit". And I thought: you'd tell me off if I said that. You're an adult. You're perfectly capable of saying "biscuit". So am I. Just say it!

I've had a few new followers recently. And I will usually follow back, but if I don't it's because either:

1. You have nothing on your profile and no posts. I want to know
something about who I'm following.
2. You have nothing on your profile but an OnlyFans link or something that indicates you're here for dating purposes, or all you post is nude selfies. Good luck, but I'm not interested, thank you.
3. You think some people's right to exist, or to live in peace, is up for debate.

Also, please don't DM me until we've had some public interaction, otherwise it's weird. Thank you!
