Should've posted this days ago
Work was tedious last week, to the point where I ceased to even pay attention. Once again, it was all about the after-school activities.
tornandtwisted cooked a rather fine dinner (spiced sweet potato pasties, beets, salad & homemade dressing, and a fantastic chocolate/biscuit/strawberry cake thing for desert) for scarlett_lee, olivia_25, and myself on Monday. Thoroughly pleasant evening all round.
Tuesday evening was split between KDF and chatting to olivia_25 online. KDF was interesting again. I'll admit that I found the first half of the class to be monumentally frustrating, as it seemed I couldn't get even the most basic exercise correct. During the second half however, whilst paired against distorted_rage, something just seemed to click into place. I think I got to the the point where what I was actually doing started to bear a passing resemblance to what I was trying to do. In any case, I left feeling like I'd learned something. Now just to retain it.
Wednesday didn't go entirely to plan as, amongst other things, I got distracted by Little Saturday and was over an hour late for BSG night. Oops.
On Thursday I was olivia_25's partner in kitchen-crime again. We made a lot of gingerbread, but my experimental vegan shortbread (which for some reason smelled strongly of burnt popcorn) was a tragic failure. Then there was pizza and Secretary. It would have been a perfectly lovely evening had something (still not sure what) not given poor Liv an extremely upset stomach.
I had a quiet night in on Friday. My lady already had plans, and though it would have been good to catch up with a few folks I haven't seen in a while, I just couldn't muster any enthusiasm for town. Besides, it was nice to spend a bit of time with grandhoohaa. I have been a somewhat inattentive housemate of late.
