slightly less sick. Haven't taken sudafed for a whole day. Still coughing and snotty but the voice is emerging.
New back door has been hung -three times. I think it is going to stay there now? Dad has deciphered the new lock and is busy making holes in the door for it to be mounted in. The kitchen keeps getting covered in layers of dust, dirt, sawdust. it is a fight to make a clean space to prepare food.
I am hopeful of making it into the office tomorrow. Not sure I am really well enough but how long does one have to stay home for just a cold thing? Besides, our department is going out to lunch and I have a remodelled ring to pick up from the jeweller near work.
To add insult to the injury I(this cold) have dealt my collegues, I have 3 days annual leave booked for wed-Fri this week. Wonder if I can still take this? Supposedly I will take the folks away somewhere, that might not happen either.
I did take Mum to Darncheap yesterday. Should not really have gone, that little excursion used up my day's energy quotient. They are moving to South Melbourne, less convenient to me but at least they will still be around. They are in clearance mode. Some stuff is very reduced but not the better fabrics, silk, wool etc. I bought some bits:
-green rayon lining- best kind
-pretty silk/cotton voile with tracery of angular grey/brown/black roses on it
-fine dark brown tartan wool -lovely-for work skirt/pants
-thread and zips- habby was 20% off but all white and black thread had gone.
so someone please tell us housebound types how the tavern feast went??

The tourneys during the day were entertaining and the weather was perfect for it. Oh, and I finally confessed to the friendly, cute, little, dark haired collegian that I often chat with, that I didn't know her name and properly introduced myself. It's Oliette! (or Aliette, or something like that I'm not sure of the spelling)
The food at the tavern night was simple but plentiful and tasty. There were maybe 40ish people there (at a guess).
The games that Vandel had organised were fun and sneaky, as is to be expected, plus there were board games, country dances and singing.
AoA's were handed out to 5 people. I can't remember the 5th person, and it would be rude to mention 4 without naming the fifth. But Paul of Abbotsford was the big surprise, I had always assumed he was already AOAed.
A golden tear, gold lily and silver prometheus were given out and a grant of arms awarded.
You'll have to guess who got what. :)
It's my tricksy way of covering up the fact that I've forgotten the details again.

Actually, it's Alliette. And she's a grown up lawyer whose uni days are well behind her.

LOL!
But she is definitely lovely.

To help with the guessing game -
10B came home being quietly proud. :-)
South Melbourne's not too bad. Obviously not as good as Newport, but just over the bridge and out the second exit, really not far. (I grew up right near there, and have family over the bridge plus assorted friends, so for me it's a well trodden path.)
