I've started doing cross stitch again. One of the good things about this winter, is that we have had less gloomy days and I started a subscription for WOCS as I'd been without a regular mag for a while. (Stopped getting them regularly because I couldn't go out shopping.) It's time for some spring projects.

I've started reading Small Favour on the computer. It does save your place (I did wonder about that...) but I can't maintain my concentration on it as well as I can with a print book.

I have found digital versions of Small Favour and Turncoat that I can borrow. (Will put the link up to the library), but I hate reading on screen, especially long stories so I don't know how far I'll get into it. They have to preserve copyright, I suppose, so digital books aren't as comfortable to read as you'd like them to be.
One of the most irritating things about the lockdown I've found is that you can't replace stuff you need replacing if they get broken, etc, ether because nothing is in stock, they won't deliver it, you can't go out to get it or /if/ you can get it, you have to get it from some credit catalogue company and end up owing them more for things that should have been cheap.

One of the things about the old web (at least, that period of time when forums were THE THING, instead of social media like facebook, twitter, myspace, etc...), it was a lot easier to make friends over the internet because the forums created a social /and/ creative place to be. On the right forums you could share your webpages, post your creations and discuss things. It did help that the forums were usually based

around a subject (say, pets) or a fandom (like Star Wars, which would sometimes also attract other fandoms in similar genres.) It's harder now to find those communities. Social media at best has created a monoculture, and at worst a place for trolls and bullies to get upset

I decided to change the index page because I thought that people won't know about the other mini sites. When I made the account, I was quite active on my paid domain and hosting but it was getting full, so I decided to make Bright Eyes here (and to try the host out.) Since then, I got fed up of the paid site always getting the service interrupted and since moving here, I've become more productive at making content

again because I no longer got distracted with fancy packages like wordpress, mybb, simple machines, etc. There is more than just Bright Eyes here, though if the home page only goes to that, it is easy for people to miss things. I hope to move all the movable stuff here eventually and drop the paid hosting altogether. (Of course, if this starts getting full, I'll become a supporter here. I just don't have the money

to pay two hosting companies. Neocities' dashboard is also much simpler to use.

Bright Eyes isn't gone - I'm just making a new index page to better reflect the content of the site.

There were nemes on facebook in March/April where folks had used the the time off work to do up their house because they didn't have time to do it before. Because of this problem, every home will end up looking like a shack.
