time. awake. quiet

cessation of daylight saving + head full of goo = being up at 5:30am. So either I will have a long day or some napping later.

I much prefer the British term of "Summertime", more elegant don't you think? Fits in a sentence much better. Maybe I should just start using it and see if I can lead by example.  Anyway it is going to be a shock to see it dark at 6:30 tonight. We are back in coming home from work in the dark territory, ick. Also-leaving work in the dark, double ick. No more enjoying the garden when I come home for several months-but hoorah for cool weather.

doushkasmum andsacred_chaocame over last night. It was so nice to have some company for the first time in days. I fed them dinner and they brought me a chest of drawers, nice. I am looking forward to cleaning up said drawers but that will have to wait until I have finished the "drawers" for work.  These latter advance, I constructed the linings yesterday. Today is waistbands and possibly hems.

Sosacred_chao where do these drawers come from? How did you aquire them? Any idea how old they are.  'Course I could have asked that last night if I had more brain and voice.

Today I have almost no voice. This, along with previously mentioned goo means I don't think I should go to bash. It is one thing seeing people who volunteered to visit the sick. Quite another to inflict myself on all and sundry. Apparently shop keepers don't count in this? by my behaviour anyway.

Frustrating- the advent of new furniture + being at home for days means I have all sorts of plans for rearranging my house! but not enough energy to do it.

Ah well, I shall away and sew.

one down

Well. After weeks of intermittent construction and years of procrastination... I finally have one new pair of work trousers! The other two are waiting waistbands and hems. There will be pics later, too tired now.

Interesting. The pair I have finished are from some fine wool suiting that I had thought would make a lovely summer sideless surcoat. No, they make a much better pair of irk coloured trousers. Up close it is green/stone/black/red/blue check, from a distance it just looks greyish. OK so now I need to do pics.... just tried, I really am too tired to do pics. Need to take them in daylight.

I will also cautiously say that I might have started getting better? I have more voice now than I did this morning, though that is not saying much. I am also less desperate for the next dose of cold meds. I mean to go into the office in the morning. At least to get some printouts and get out of the house. I might not stay long, we will see. I might be miraculously better tomorrow, hah.
