This blind little hero saved my home from an electrical fire. Incidentally, do not plug an AC into a power strip. All is well; make sure you have a working fire extinguisher, and perhaps an elderly ginger cat.

On the blocking board just in time for the cold snap. I will be making this moss-green number my entire personality for the foreseeable (or at least until the weather warms up).
The misogynist name-calling is just the icing on...whatever this person's problem is.
Almost a cardigan: all that remains is to sew the steek, cut the steek, knit the button bands, and sew on buttons.
