List post, because we haven't had one of those in a while!

# streams: Luke plays AC:NH - May Day Maze! Mad Fishing Skills!

Jane plays Knights of the Old Republic (no Two Point Hospital because yesterday was May 4th)

# I found YET MORE material in mum's room - it was in one of the boxes from when we had the house rewired which was, uh, quite a long time ago. There's some blue material which, I am sure, is enough to make an entire suit out of. I am not going to take up this challenge, as I am having doubts about even making the simple tunic style top I want to (never mind that it has a pocket on it, and I even thought about making it a welt pocket, as that would be more secure than a patch pocket. I don't have these skills yet! Why do I always do this and try to get ahead of myself!*)

# I discovered some fabric I didn't even know I had (second time in two weeks, I think), and I think my friend Annette gave me this. It's all really nice fancy stuff, and I don't know what I'd use it for.

# I made myself another bandanna - I already have one I made a couple of years ago, and I made another yesterday for the heck of it. Even hand sewing, it didn't really take me that long (although it felt like all day because I kept putting it down to do other things).

# I decided one of the other things I will do when we're allowed to roam freely** is go to the fabric shop in Burnley. Jackie told me about it years ago, and I've been meaning to go ever since, but I forget it exists (and I don't know where it is exactly, as it's not in the centre of town).

# I realised yesterday that being furloughed is allowing me to catch up with all the Dicebreaker stuff I missed because I was working when it was streamed/uploaded. I sort of wish I'd realised this sooner, but I didn't start catching up on a lot of their stuff until I was being an absolute misery guts thanks to the problems I was having with my meds (again, defo feeling better now!)

I know very little about tabletop games, but I like watching Dicebreaker because they talk about absolutely all sorts of games you can play where there is a table involved (though they do skew towards board games, but that's no probs! I didn't realise there were so many different sorts. Serves me right for no longer being friends with someone who's interested in this stuff!) And like, you can see that they're obviously having fun, which is great stuff (I'd rather that than people who're all, no, this is Serious Business, You Guys).

ETA: # I almost forgot but yesterday I got a statement from my credit card, and it reminded me that it's p much TWO YEARS since I paid it off! I didn't cancel it, but I kind of forget I have it anyway? Which is a good thing, because I don't want to spend another hecking long time paying it off again. But yeah, even though it's been nearly two years, I still kind of can't believe I managed to do that! [/eta]

*This makes me think mum was in the right when I was learning to cross stitch, by making me work on small designs first instead of leaping into the big one I wanted to do at the time.

**Though I am in ABSOLUTELY no hurry to do that.
