Sorta lazy day.

So yesterday was spent doing laundry, dishes and not much of anything. Definite Post Festival Blahs...
Today so far has been better. After most confortable loitering on a beanbag in a nice warm patch of sunlight with a good book* and a tuna sandwich, got off arse and went swimming at the local Aquatic Center. Closest to the Centenial and QEII setups I have seen with lap pool, leasure pools, spa, steam room and sauna all in the 1 entry price. $5.90 for single, but plan to get 30 trip multi ticket ($4.50 per trip but must be used in 6 months and can be shared between people), which will cut costs. Did 6 laps and was buggered - can tell haven't been swimming regular for about 3 1/2 years... Time to get back to it.
Currently playing with old and new photos and making LJ icons - you can spot one of the new ones. I will probably save it for my ranting/pissed off at things posts later, but for now, it is not often you get to see pieces of (your) PhD thesis blown out of a cannon. Also made some icons out of the glass blowing and forge play which I didn't have space for but may inflict on basal_surge.
But henna mix may now be ready for hot water and gelatine. Gooping time.

*Ash (Book 1) by Mary Gentle. I got part way in, foolishly reccomended it to Z and now we are having battles over who gets to read bits next.

Random facts

Don't leave Z in charge of cooking dinner when there is a TV program he wants to rip appart (Robin Hood). Burnt steak may result - he is ahead of me in actually managing to set off the smoke detector, though the result was still edible and there was no glowing red charcoal.

Hair is now red. This time we didn't use the spare water in the bathtub to rinse ie no swamp. Don't look too closely at the shower though.

Why does PMS increase my tendancy to bake/cook? Nice lemon curd though*. Didn't feel like swearing over lemon merengue with only a hand whisk. Lemon tarts tomorrow I think.

* Added lemon zest as well and melted the butter before combining with the sugar and mixed the eggs thoroughly before combining and heating. Made a large cup worth - not certain how well it will keep or how long it will last. Nice on toast though.
