So Much Accomplished, So Little Done...

... by me, at any rate.

We did the Easter holidays bit, mainly before Easter (so maybe, they should have been Lenten holidays, except that I don't observe the season, except ion the consumption of pancakes and the purchase of chocolate eggs). I made Looby Loo her fairy-mermaid-princess costume for the Eastercon masquerade. This was finished--eventually--sitting on my Pa's living room floor when I sewed on many, but probably not sufficient, sequins and M inserted the coat hanger to provide the tail with some shape.

Handed over house and cats to in-laws. Then off north, via Clumber Park for tea and the A66 for weather, to my Pa's and thence to Glasgow.

Good con. LL happy in the creche and equally happy hanging out with M in Green Room. The Ravens, as ever, happy to be watching plenty of programme and knitting a sock. Bought books and jewellery--quelle surprise!--and drank good beer. LL enjoyed the masquerade despite the late hour (for her).

cluck

Returned home via The Borders, Hexham, the A69 and West Cumbria, followed by A66, Appleby Castle (closed, but a fine teashop in town), Burgh Castle (hailstorm), Ripon ( a fine and welcoming Abbey) and Clumber for tea. At home, garden and surprise wendy house not finished (work signed off by LL on Saturday evening). See, lots of work done, without my presence mainly or participation except in the provision of refreshments.

cluck

Today, via a small amount of gardening yesterday and a grand prix, I'm on my own for the first time in three weeks. Peace. My choice of radio. Pile of ironing looms, as does swimming (LL) and gym.

And?

Yes?

Cluck!

It sounds a good time - and I'm glad you enjoyed the con. I'll be going to the 2008 one.

2008? Ah, that's the hotel wot bites :-( A shock from every door-knob or other piece of metal for an entire weekend, if I remember correctly. Tho' I am assured that they've redecorated, so I canonly hope the carpet's been replaced by something kinder.

I had a really good time this year, not desperately exciting, but generally invigorating (mentally).

Yikes! Really? I'll be careful! They've got some good guests lined up, though, and I think it's a good committee.

I'm glad this year was good. It sounds like you go every year?

Every year since 1990, I think, bar one when I was too ill to leave home. This means Looby Loo has just done her eighth, too.
