(This anime is cute but...not cute enough for me. The humans weren't adorable. I did come across an article online which said that the second season, Jewel Pet Tinkle/Twinkle was the first in the series to have a wide appeal [aka super cute characters all round!]. I tried watching this first season, but it just didn't grab my interest enough, so I moved on to....)

Craft, games & more
Finally got started on a baby blanket for a family member. I've also started a striped blanket for a child family member whose favourite colour is red (though I wanted a bit of a pattern so I feel adding the blue is a compromise)...I've also got this other yarn for another child family member, which will be getting made as soon as their sibling's is.
Got yarn for another family member - who I don't think reads this too often - as they looked at what I'd bought without me paying too much attention, and ended up pulling it out...so I simply said "You weren't supposed to see that," and they put it back. ^-^
Been gaming on the same 3 games...

Littlest Pet Shop by Gameloft
10E/10E
...had a fun glitch last Tuesday - a play area which gave me 10k of kibble was on sale for 100 kibble. 100. Not 200k+ as most other high earning play areas are. So i bought it, and it really does give me 10k! My friend is happy as she had a time glitch: instead of having to wait until the next day to play with some of her pets, the timer got reset so she could play straight away! Not all glitches are bad ^o^
