This weekend: more things I like
Jun. 17th, 2007 09:46 pmIt was my brother's 21st on Wednesday, and Saturday was the time to do the family celebration. My father and his partner hosted it, which was pretty impressive of them given the size of their place and the number of people involved. I was expecting a quiet dinner-ish thing, but it ended up being my mother's side of the family, my mother (who came up from Kal for it), Kyle's girlfriend and her family, plus my Dad's cousin and his family (and his daughter's boyfriend). So it was really more of a party, and a fun party at that. Lots of interesting people, lots of food, a few small children on missions to acquire cake.
And then afterwards there were people at our place doing craft and eating things, which was pretty awesome despite how tired I was by that stage. It's nice to see people again!
And on Friday I went out with politics-women and watched C's bellydance performance, ate a heap, thought about steampunk bellydance costumes.
And today I cycled to Subiaco in the sunshine and did the grocery shopping for the week, which I wasn't looking forward to at all but which ended up being really nice. Just the right amount of sun and the smell of flowers in the air.
And today I spent a while making some origami pictures for some young friends of mine who have started a 'picture crossing' with me. Now I reallyreally want to make myself an origami aquarium, and some hangings for my walls, and a heap of other things I don't have time for. (I can keep them in the same mental box as all the clothes I would like to be sewing, I suppose.)
I meant to reply a heap of emails that are long overdue this weekend, but I didn't feel up to so much time in front of the computer screen, organising words. And I meant to replant the masses of tomato plants that have come up in the bathtub outside (which, oddly, we actually planted with spinach and carrots), but I didn't get around to that, either. But at least I got one or two things crossed off, and had a relatively relaxing weekend.
