my favourite currency converter is xe it's great for when I want to know what my socks order will *really* cost. (Our money must be doing pretty well against the American right now, it doesn't seem like too much of an increase.)
I'm planning a sock order, if you want in, I'm ordering on Thursday night, or maybe Friday. Just send me an email. I really want to order now, but my credit card can't handle it until I get paid again on Thursday.
I had a relaxing weekend. I finished reading Wicked, which I really enjoyed, and keep thinking about on a low background level. I am now reading Caddy Ever After by Hilary McKay, latest in the Saffy's Angel series and equally delightful. It's a kid's book, aimed at the tween market I think and just charming, full of art and family drama and problem solving characters.
Lee and I cleaned the whole apartment, even the windows for the Jenni's Angels get together yesterday, which was lovely. Great to see these people and watch all the films and look through photos and everything. I made snickerdoodles and they were a great success, plus belgian biscuits and a banana cake with chocolate and marshmallow topping. There was also fudge, brownies, chippies, chicken and a heap of other stuff.
I wore my neopolitan striped socks, and since I continually tried to pull them over my knees I think I'll have to suck it in and buy the thigh high versions. Rachel, do you still want to buy them? One wear, one wash and they're yours! Today I am wearing my teal and seafoam super stripes and I just adore them, so bright and crisp, and the colours are so pretty. New super stripes seem to be longer too, they must shrink a little in the wash. Anyway, I am delighted and keep checking my legs to admire the stripes.
PoF: team seafoam!
CO: lunch and obviously, socks.
