May
Finished my Cadence socks, and they look gorgeous. Loved the design and the end result looks lovely.
Now just beginning a pair of Outside In socks. I've tried knitting this pattern before and had it come out too tight, but I think that was before I had nice flexible circulars specifically for sock knitting. I'm going to give it a shot, anyhow. I'm using Bendigo Woollen Mills Sock Yarn in Blue Mix, which I'd kinda forgotten we'd bought.

Watched a bunch of old films the other day - Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Court Jester and Singin' In The Rain. Then we watched Avengers, Cap 2 and Avengers 2 (I found a watchable cam). Now we're watching Elementary for the first time. Liking it all right so far. I think we're a little under halfway through season one, after which we'll have to watch something else because I don't have any of seasons two or three.
*
Maybe making risotto tonight. Probably the wine based one, though it'll be white wine, not red, because I don't think we have any red in the cupboard.
*
Our neglected garden seems to be doing okay. Still haven't dug out our potato crop, but the lettuces we planted a while back are loving the rain we've had. There are four different varieties, all Asian greens, one of which is a peppery broad leaf with red veining that tastes like radishes. Very hot raw but it mellows when it's cooked or combined with other things.
*
Bought a second hand copy of what was supposed to be the extended edition of Fantastic 4... only for it to be the absolute bog standard edition. Fortunately it was through Fishpond so I get a full refund on returning it. I found the special editions of the first and second films on Ebay instead for under $30 all up, so I've got them coming in the versions I want. They're not perfect films, but they're ones I will rewatch, and they add to my Marvel collection.
*
Still waiting on Daredevil to download. Still waiting for Marvel to announce Agent Carter season two and a season one DVD release. I'm still waiting... *drums fingers*
*
We have apples to use up and if I have enough energy, I may make muffins. Haven't decided yet. I'll have to do dishes first, if I do. Or apple blondies. I don't think I have enough white chocolate for that, though. I'll add it to the shopping list.
*
Still unseasonably warm. We've had two fires, but the last few days we haven't even had the heater on or blankets or layers. Last night, I kept kicking my blanket off because I kept overheating, which is unusual for me. I think it's meant to get colder by Wednesday, but right now, it's sunny, calm and clement outside with tourists wandering around in sunhats, not scarves.
