Crafternoon knitting at Bonehead Brewing. With birria tacos from La Tortilleria. Plus Emi hooked us up with a replacement tv after ours broke (during the Olympics!!! PANIK!!). A+++ afternoon.
Back in couch potato action. Thank you Emi!!!
I went to a photography outing in Christmas Hills in the Yarra Valley. It was nice and lush and our group were the only people there.
It drizzled quite a bit so I had to keep my camera in my jacket a lot. I called it a day after lunch.
I got free tickets to a comedy show through work so I planned a KMAJ. We went out for dinner at Epocha, which was closing. We had a lovely treat yo self dinner and then went to the comedy show. We wondered if we would know who any of the comics were, and while yes we did, it was probably one of our lowest ranked choice of who would be there (Hughesy). Ah well. It was ok.
I am over real plants. But this fake one from Ikea looks great in the adorable pot I got from the family for my birthday!
A particularly bountiful veggie box delivery. Pretty excited for it not to be orange season any more though… we’re not an orange family.
Ash loaned me her swift and I wound all the wool for Rosemarie’s sweater and my future sweater. It definitely worked better than Scott’s arms waving around.
Funfetti socks finished. Same as with every other pair of socks I’ve knit, I have some issues with them and learned a few lessons. I’m annoyed that each sock is a different colour. But the lesson I learned from that is maybe I should divide the balls in half and knit from the inside of the ball out. Or just wind them into several smaller balls and mix them around a bit. And maybe alternate skeins every couple rows. Hand dyed yarn is fun but has quirks.
Unpictured stuff:
- We went to Torquay for a weekend, which I’ll make into its own post.
- I had some kind of allergic reaction, possibly to mosquitos, where my face got all swollen for a couple days, especially my eyes, despite A LOT of antihistamines. Kind of worried that it might become a thing.
- Scott’s friend Jarrod started playing pickleball with us and now he’s addicted. He plays more than us! It’s been fun seeing him more often again.
- A very big day where we went out to Belgrave for Myles’ birthday lunch, then drove all the way to Macleod for an early dinner cooked by Sonika and her mum visiting from India, and then drove back in to Auburn to play pickleball. The best parts were seeing Myles’ face light up when he read his birthday coupon for going to see Transformers at the theatre with Uncle Scott, and Sonika’s mum’s famous homemade samosas with spicy dipping sauce.
