I have perfected my headless chicken impersonation!

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!

How you make me laugh! I would pay just to see a black and gold 36F bra as it sounds very saucy; and the sizing comment reminded me of a code used in a local corsetry factory for cup sizes: egg cup, coffee cup, tea cup, breakfast cup, FA cup...... As to ridding oneself of books, Oxfam reported that people bought 2nd hand books to burn as they were cheaper than firewood or coal. I tried it with some of my excess volumes (I promise, they were truly terrible) but it still felt like a religious fanaticism or sacrilege and had to stop. Meant to comment ages ago, by the way, on your recent fictions which were an absolute delight, thank you so much!
