blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)
[personal profile] blamebrampton
This weekend I have made chocolate and hazelnut slice (so good!), cycled a long way, cheered up a new friend and dissected and drawn poppies.

This last is because I spent last weekend learning how to make silk flowers using French flower making tools. I have wanted to learn how to do this since about 1978, so I am very excited! If anyone has flower making tools that they would like to sell, let me know!

Meanwhile, my goal to declutter the house continues. Does anyone want three lovely vintage style bras, one gold with black lace, one pink with blue lace and one red lace: AU 14E, UK 36F, US 36E, EU 80G? Alas, you can't take bras in and they are far too lovely and newish to toss.

I have to tackle the books next. It may be easier to just move …

The laundry pile is now shorter than me. It's a start. Next, fic, long overdue essay thingy, invoicing so that people will pay me (might do that first) and dissecting a rannunculus. And catching up on fandom and birthdays and life. And make a big career decision. And …

I think I'll start with a shower and sleep!

Yay for you following through on something you've wanted to learn since 1978--that's wonderful! And now I want to know more about this chocolate and hazelnut "slice" thing...

Looks like you've found a new home for the bras--that's awesome! It's so nice to "re-home" pretty but no longer usable-by-you things :-)

Shower and sleep sounds lovely. As does invoicing and getting paid!

It's made me very happy, there is a long story which I may even have time to tell later this week. Along with slice recipes!

And yes, it's always good to be able to pass on things that are lovely to someone else I know rather than dump them in the charity bin and hope they don't get nicked by students who are living in Newtown because Daddy pays their bills and aren't we daring raiding the clothes bins! (Charity clothes donations by us are now cycled down to the depot since the last 'Oh really? Seriously, you're wearing a Bulgari watch!' shouting match at the bin, which is unfortunately next to the pub. I'd not mind if it were any of the proper locals.)

Shower accomplished Now sleep!
