Pause for itemisation and sorting - clothing looks good for CF. Undertunic is having the side seams finished and then will just need cuff and hem. Then I finish the red (purple really, matches some of the canvas) diamond wool tunic. Not certain if it is worth bringing over feast gear or scrounging while over. Tent(s) and some bedding should be with Z's family. Then we had the bright idea that a double swag would give us good bedding and allow us to take clothing over in it. And we have the canvas - will pick up a mattress/foam mat for it in Chch. So, a new sewing project for the next 2 weeks - at least it is definetely being machine sewn.

Comet watching planned for Sun evening (and Mon if that fails). And lawn mowing and gardening. And Z needs to put in ~3 hours work - apparently about a novel worth... Currently Z is reading while watching music train wrecks. His leather sewing (shoe repair) has stopped due to finger/awl interaction in the wrong way.

So, who else has garb that looks as though it is ready to be put in the midden or was just fished out from it?

Should stop writing and giggling at the Madonna video marathon on Rage - the chronological entertainment is interesting, though I don't think we will stay up til the 5:30am finish. May put in a tape for the Evita songs round 3:30 am though. It is not the same listening to Like a Virgin after Moulin Rouge...

Take standard omlette mix. Take favourite little cast iron frying pan and get it really nice and hot. Make omlette. When 3/4 to fully cooked, pile on cooked bacon, grated cheese and a spoonful or two of taco sauce*. Fold in half (can be messy), extract out of pan (the other messy bit) and consume. Two was plenty.

* Red or green pepper too if I had had some. Suspect mushrooms too if your tastes are that way inclined.

Undertunic is "cut" out - love how linen rips. Found linen thread and beeswax, time to get started.
