Rug, and a word about backstrap and reading, surprise breakfast

The rug is done, as you see, no more accessible warp, I did a few passes with a wool yarn, and today it comes off the peg ready to finish. I'll probably weave in the fringes, tripping hazard (!) Finished size 15x21, underfoot size.

and I'm wondering if I can adapt this traditional Guatemalan method of slinging the warp so that I can weave further up it.

 Some study needed here. 

Latest reading, along with two Alison Weirs, about a cemetery caretaker reveling in the quiet. Set in France and I've just started it.

Meanwhile, Gary stopped in with a surprise slice of melon for breakfast, some hybrid of honeydew and something else neither of us can remember

Happy day, everyone, I hope some good surprise happens
