On days like today, it’s hard to remember why we ever wanted to live anywhere else!

We built one shoe organiser, two night tables, and a dresser and didn’t use a single hex key! Did IKEA phase them out at some point?! 🤯
Went for a walk around Blackwattle Bay and stopped in at the Toxteth in Glebe for a ($10!!! 🤯) schooner of VB on the way home… 🍻

We don’t talk about Backstreet… 🎵
Every New Year’s, there’s a happy moment when I remember that the latest Best of Bootie compilation is out! We’ve been listening to it for the last hour, and my favourites are definitely “We don’t talk about Backstreet” and “Take it as it was.”
And OMG we just got to the last track and I did not expect that. 😂

Braiding your yarn ends for fairisle
Huh. I just learned a new knitting technique from Reddit, of all places! Rather than weaving in all the ends from your fairisle colour changes, you leave them long and then you essentially French braid them down the seam on the inside.
What the video doesn’t show is what happens at the end. Presumably you have some length of braid from your last few changes, and you… what? Put a rubber band on the end and have it hanging outside your sleeve? 😂 I’m guessing it’s something like: “fold it back on itself and weave the last few bits back into the braid,” but it’s annoying that they didn’t cover that bit.

New year, new furniture. (For someone who hasn’t driven on the left side of the road in over two years, I just did a parallel park that would make Ron Howard proud. 💅)
Our New Year’s tradition is black-eyed peas, which are meant to bring luck and prosperity. Rodd cooked them with bacon, cabbage, carrots, and chicken thighs. 😍

Blog post! I documented all 7 of the Christmas markets we managed to hit in a three-week period across November and December. Lots of mulled wine, holiday decorations, and feelings of gemütlichkeit. 🎄❤️
A final blog post about our European adventure to end 2022. ❤️
Here we go… Same procedure as last year! 😂 #dinnerforone #silvester
Happy New Year! (It was either tequila or cooking sherry. We went for the tequila.) 🎆
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
