Have plied two good sized skeins of the new BFL/silk blend I'm spinning. It's turning out sorta tweedy when you look at it close up, pale brown from a distance.
Went to fiber guild meeting on Saturday to get away from the invalids - yes, that's plural. DD has been running MIL around to her various doc visits and changing dressings on her leg ulcers. However, DD now has a job that she just started, so I get elected to do that, plus take DH to therapy, plus pick up DGD after school. ACK! We're trying to get a home care nurse in to change MIL's dressings, so that will be one less thing to worry about, and it will save me about 34 miles worth of gas each time.
Just the other day finished reading Jean Auel's new book, The Land of Painted Caves. It's the last of that series. Now working on The Emperor's Tomb by Steve Perry, about the Chinese emperor's tomb with the terra cotta soldiers. It's kinda boring so far, about Chinese politics and two guys vying to be the next premier (or whatever he's called) and the two factions involved. So far the only thing about the tomb is the finding of old original documents from the first dynasty, including original Confucius writings (which have been stolen, of course). If it doesn't get more interesting in a hurry, it's getting canned.
