It snowed all day.
  • Breakfast: oatmeal with maaseru. We had to work out some financial business, which finally got done, after much puzzlement and torment over simple arithmetic.
  • Lunch: lunacy_gal joined us for lunch at the Vietnamese Kitchen on Bank near Hopewell - the place that used to be the Pe-Nan Wok. It was a bit disorienting to see the interior changed around, but the food was delicious.
  • Afternoon: Funeral for Iris Brown. A very standard religious funeral, that got me thinking about a conversation I once had with someone about a funeral set up by the Humanist Society. I was thinking this sounded pretty cool.
  • Later afternoon: Went back to my place with lunacy_gal and gamergrrl, knitted (oh God, I'm hopeless!) and talked. I made supper - garlic shrimp on spaghetti with vegetables.
  • It transpired that gamergrrl had not seen The Man from U.N.C.L.E. since the 1960s, and lunacy_gal had never seen it. That had to be rectified! We watched episode 1x06, "The Green Opal Affair". We all loved it - and I was a little nervous that lunacy_gal might not like it, but my fears were unfounded: the show remains pure gold. I'd never seen this episode before. Illya isn't in it much - the beginning and the end, but he doesn't share the mission with Napoleon. But he's utterly sexy in the scenes he does appear in, and Napoleon is quite wonderful. Interesting that the "ordinary housewife" who shares the action with him is happily married, and there's no flirtation between them, or anything more.
  • Evening: gamergrrl and I went to the Apaplexy collation at StarWolf's place. We collated and talked. I got a wonderful suprise present of tarot cards from Beulah, a gift conveyed by Vince. I was thrilled. There was a new person there, a friend of 'Wolf who is joining the apa - she seems terrific.
  • Loved the DVD that StarWolf had playing on his television - Zen Garden.

chatter, apaplexy
