Yesterday was a lovely day of lovelyness. Svend and I attended Lee's niece's first birthday picnic in the Botanic Gardens and ran into some stonesoupers there which was realy nice. The weather was sweltering and make-you-melty but I ate corn and raspberries and nice bread, so that was good.
Then we wandered around, saw the ducks and the roses and then went to Spotlight where I bought two metres of Daddy Cat fabric. ooh -err. I'll be making some Daddy Cats I think! They had a really good dress fabric sale on right now, BTW.
Then I came home, had a refreshing shower and watched The Never-Ending Story which is just as good as I remember it although I'm unsure of the method of dealing with bullies. I mean, it's not like any bullied kid can emulate how Bastian deals with the bullies, (Chases them down with a luck dragon) so I'm not sure what the point of that framing story is.
I want a luck dragon. Even though when I watched it closely it's mouth wasn't moving nearly enough to formulate words, but it did blink with its eyes slightly out of sync like I do, so I think I should be allowed one.
Then Svend and I walked to the Botanic Gardens and met Regs and her Mum and Sister and we watched the free concert if Shaken not Stirred which was very good.
I'm reading Sandman again. I've just finished Seasons of Mists.
I'm listening to an Ani Di Franco live cd and thinking that this may not be the best introduction to her music....
