Jun. 19th, 2004 11:02 pmA lazy day, catching up on bits and pieces... shopping for food, sorting things out around the house, trying to prevent infanticide on Liz's part...
I did manage to sneak out for a little while to go clothes shopping, though. Found a couple of nice black tops, so I might now venture out to the Calling. Also, rather to my surprise, found a nice, reasonably fitting and remarkably well-priced ballgown in one of the second-hand shops, so I can now tick off "posh frock for
the_mendicant's party" on my to-do list... Sidetracked on the way home by a bookshop, so I now have the latest Pratchett and Patricia Cornwell paperbacks to add to the bedtime reading pile, for when I finish rereading Cryptonomicon, along with William Gibson's "Pattern Recognition" for when I feel like something a little more substantial.
Off to listen to lots of small children (ours included) playing assorted stringed instruments tomorrow. I think this probably counts as some sort of penance, but it should mostly be a fun day out for all of us -- workshops for the children, a picnic, and lots of time for us to catch up with people I haven't seen for some while. Note to self: I really must get my own violin playing back into some kind of order too...
