I have said make more things for your dolls house, as that seems to bring you the most pleasure.
But also limit news, and not dwell on the world events more than you have to, if you can't influence it in any way.
I am doing likewise, while working on the big house, in the hope that it will still be saleable.
As with last week, I am adding backup #BikeNite questions due to lower holiday activity:
We had a question a long time ago about acronyms. I learned about MGIF (Must Get in Front) which explains a lot of behavior I see from riders and drivers on the road. It made me think about sayings in general:
Q2. What cycling-related idioms/sayings/etc do you know of? Like "Keep the rubber side down".

Never heard MGIF but related is “Cat 6”. In the US, the sanctioning body of bike racing specifies 5 categories of racers and a points system for moving between classes, from Cat 5 (rank amateur) to Cat 1 (pro, effectively).
“Category 6”, then, is a disparaging term for dudes (mostly) who demonstrate their fitness and worth by treating pooualr road riding routes (or even commutes home) like they’re Merckx in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
Lovely Peeps! Today I learned there are very specific colours traditionally used in Japanese art of all kinds (painting, textiles, etc.) - *and* there is a Wikipedia page that shows them all!
I love some of the names : Ibis wing, black kite, glazed persimmon, chestnut leather, weathered bamboo, simmered seaweed, 'the brown of a distant river', 'Contemplation in a tea garden' (!!) and more. 🥰

(h/t to @wilpercy for mentioning the link in a thread! 🙏 )
