Shout out to the Gas Check Audit guy who came early enough (8:45am!!) to leave the rest of my day unimpeded today! \o/

I don't know why they've started doing audits as well as the gas check. It kind of made sense last year, because Gas Check Guy had been out of work for a while (I overheard one of his phone calls while he was in the house), but this year ????

I guess the housing association wants to make sure we're all safe. Which is good!

I went to the library on Wednesday, for the first time in almost two years! I am pleased to report it is pretty much how I left it!

I got some books out, including one that is on my to read list that I apparently read five years ago, but have absolutely no memory of! (Our library software tells you if you've had a book before, which is how I know how long ago it was).

Anyway, I'm glad the library's open, and I'm glad I can use it again, even if it is a pain in the arse and I have to plan to go there because I no longer work locally. I did legit think about joining the library in the town I work in, but I haven't yet.

I also went in Aldi to do my food shop, and came away with two craft kits I absolutely do not need, and in spite of resisting buying others and also sets of cotton fabric fat quarters. One is a sashiko kit, which has actual sashiko needles in*, and the other is an embroidery of some mushrooms, which I totally could have designed myself.

I will probably make them up next, but right now I am working on a daft idea I had the other day, which tickles me. Although that could probably describe most of the stuff I make, let's be honest.

I found out when I first played FFXII! It was early November 2007! Which is about what I thought, but I wasn't 100% sure since the copy I have is a platinum one, and I didn't think that version would have been released so soon after the original release. But evidently what do I know!

(I no longer have my LJ, but I do have a massive PDF backup of it, which is a pain in the arse to look through, since it's so big. There's ten years or so of entries in there).

I'm glad I did go and look, because my memory is not great, and I wanted to check to make sure I was right.

Anyway, I think that's everything for now, so I'm going to end this entry here!

*I know this because I already own some that I bought a few years ago.
