Good Things Friday (263) and Link Love
March 8, 2024
1. Laying in bed in a lot of pain after my massage, because sometimes that’s how my muscles react to the treat, I discovered that Ilona Andrews has a weekly Friday serial featuring Roman! I’d glee about how I love Roman but fairness then demands I admit there really isn’t any character from the Kate Andrews world I wouldn’t enjoy reading about. Still. Roman’s turn!
2. I have two twirl skirts from Svaha, purchased 2 and 4 years ago, that are still in regular rotation in good weather (not that we have a whole lot of that). In July, I noticed that the pocket of the older one had torn slightly. It’s been sitting on my dresser since then waiting for repair. I finally managed to pull out the sewing machine and mend the pocket!
For funsies, I had a look through the twirl skirts in case they have a really good sale and I feel the need to add one more someday. My favorites: Starry Night, Chromatic scales, Solar eclipse

We’ve been waiting for a worthwhile local food place to join the site, Dollar Revolution shared his experience with Too Good To Go recently and we thought we’d give it a try. So far, not a lot of uptake but I’m hearing a variety of reasonably good experiences from folks across the country so maybe it’ll get better for us. We like the idea of rescuing food from being wasted, anyway.
I love those skirts but I just wear leggings or shorts basically all the time now!
Thanks for the news about the serial. I will also go enjoy it!

Do your leggings and shorts have great pockets? That’s about 80% of the reason I love these skirts, they have amazingly deep pockets. But a shorts with great pockets option would be very welcome.
I bought a bunch of shorts from Old Navy and BR in the past few summers and they do have pretty great pockets!

I signed up for Too Good To Go. It took a while to arrive in our metro. So far, not enough restaurants have signed up. Surprise Bags tend to be gone very quickly. I have snagged two, and they were worth it.
We definitely only have a handful so far as well, and many of the best things go quick. But it’s kind of fun to scroll now and again.
