What a nice day!

• The Crime Fighter and I went to a friend's birthday party. He got entirely grubby and ate too much sugar. So you know, perfect. I got him home not a minute too soon for a nap.


• I worked on the t-shirt rug while he napped and (re)watched my Lizzie Bennett Diaries DVDs


• Once up, he and asciikitty visited friends at a playground and I was free to do... ?


• As it turns out, free to go down to Spy Pond with my comic book and a beverage (fizzy citrus with tapioca bubbles... because I can). It really was idyllic. I got to be on a bench in the shade and looked a bit at the water and read early Sandman. Weirdly, despite having a complete set and it being well over 20 years old, I haven't read it all yet!


• More work on the rug 'pon my return


• Dinner not-made-by-me (farro/lamb meatballs/kale cooked in chicken broth). Hopefully asciikitty will do that again soon


• Niece broke up with her girlfriend(s). Good move.


• Post kid-bedtime, watched Doctor Who with QE

that was my favorite farro yet. I might have to do a giant batch of lamb and beef meatballs and freeze them, so we can have that in a hurry too.

Today was such a great day!

Sorry I missed you two at the party today! I arrived, well, after it was over, truth be told. Glad you and Crime Fighter had a good time!

Maybe next time!

Still haven't seen the new DW.
So want to make a tshirt quit/rug/something out of all knot_frayed's shirts! Brilliant!

DW... definitely had its moments. It's definitely going to take some time to have Capaldi get in the zone, and that's OK.

Re: Rug- I got the biggest crochet hook I could find-- One could do it by hand, I suppose, or braid and sew. All by hand is a bit wearing, I think, and I'm not fond of sewing, so here I am! It's my first go, so it took some time to sort it all out. If I'd do it over, I'd have thicker strands or do a very loose crochet with the thing strand and crochet again. That latter is what I have been doing for the last several rows and I love the texture. Pictures eventually...

Spy pond reading _Sandman_ sounds like a lovely way to spend some unexpected quiet time. Good for you!

I was pretty pleased to not only figure it out, but to do so while I still had time AND follow through. Woot!
