Ow. And projects.

[pixel39]

It's raining again, which is a good thing for the environment (except maybe our basement, but we'll find out, I suppose) but not for me. I am a little ball of ow this morning, and needing the defrost set to cold on the way to work did not help matters any.

On the other hand, I finished my embroidery last night. Yay! Now I have to make a pouch to put it on. :-)

We sort of kind of started discussing Coronation spiffiness, but not really. Mostly we got as far as not wanting to wear black and gold, since neither of us would wear it otherwise. If this pattern that I'm currently working on turns out to be functional, I can make a green gown with the green wool gabardine that I've had sitting around for ages and use the rest of the purple for another project. Like a bliaut. Which would be spiffily cool.

I forgot how having someone sit in on your calls cramps your style WRT keeping caught up on email and such like. But today he's not sitting in, or at least not right now, and it's pretty quiet. So I can catch up, finally. Yay!

The neopets are very addictive. I find myself going to stores I wsould never go to (like K-mart) looking for colors I don't have yet.

I'm looking forward to meeting you too. I have not been to Lilies before. I swore to never to to Pennsic again because it keeps trying to kill me, so we're going to give this a try. I've been warned about the weather and such (which is why I'm borrowing linen from Pixel) I'm not sure where we're camping yet, I leave that to the boy.

But yes, come find us. We'll have scotch eggs. *g*

Bring fans, and extra tarps in case, and a trenching tool.

I camp out on the far point--sort of across from and past the Lost Boys, out that way. It's pretty far from everything, and they stopped putting portajohns out in the final turnaround so the morning hike to the potty is kind of extreme, but it's quiet and sparsely populated. If you have a battery-powered weed whacker or something like that, and you have room for it, you might think about bringing it. They cut the grass fairly short close to all the roads, but when you get farther than about 10 feet from a road, the grass will be pretty tall.

Also, you will probably want to avoid camping in treelines. Everyone always wants the shade, but they're full of poison ivy and ticks.

What are Scotch eggs?

We'll see if she beats me to it. :-)

Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage and rolled in breadcrumbs and fried. They're yummy even cold.

And they're likely to be camping with the Lost Boys, or thereabouts, given that the boy is one.

Ah! Then I will be across the road and down from them, assuming that my normal spot is open.

Scotch eggs sound rather yum.

Scotch eggs are extremely yum.

The boy, incidentally, is rustmon.

I do think we're camping with the lost boys. Seems likely.

Scotch eggs are very yummy. Who ever thought of wrapping eggs in meat was a genius!

Well then, you shan't be able to avoid seeing me.

Although, as my hairier half is not attending, you will probably be able to avoid hearing me. Late at night. At the top of my lungs. You should be glad.

I will have to explore this Scotch egg phenomenon.
