Not to labour the point… September 3, 2007
This Labour Day long weekend, I’ve been spending it… well, labouring. Saturday I had to work - I don’t mind working the Saturday of a long weekend because everyone’s already left town or are doing long weekend-y things, and don’t so much come to the library. Sunday I spent it doing laundry and tidying the basement, and doing dishes. On the goofing off front, I did manage to finish the book I was reading, and spend a goodly amount of time watching TV in the evenings. Today I plan on cutting the grass, doing some weeding, and perhaps hitting a matinee. And reorganizing the two bookcases I moved a few weeks back.
Last night I made rice for with my dinner. I always make extra so that I can make rice pudding for dessert. Tonight I tried a different recipe, and used shredded coconut instead of raisins. It is an addition that was most delish - thanks to my sister who made the suggestion.
In other news! My sockapalooza socks arrived last week!
My pal was Lucy, aka Pinkphish, all the way across the ocean in the UK, and I love the colour and the pattern. The socks look really blue in that picture, but there are actually a lot of different, subtle colours. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked them and that they fitted. They were fun to knit.
I stopped by my local library yesterday and was disappointed to find it was closed. Then I realized all the lovely librarians were probably enjoying the long weekend too and that made me happy.
I haven’t had rice pudding in years. Hmmmmmm.
Labour on my sister!
We were both in the moment, toiling away!
Love the socks, by the way.
