I seem to be on a Persuasion compare and contrast kick. Currently it's the 1995 version with lovely Ciaran Hinds and oh well, Amanda Root..
It's a wonderful narrative, with plenty of comic relief as well as anguish. The always-ailing sister who never misses a meal or a party, the great Musgrove scene where everyone in turn confides privately in Anne their complaints about each other, the overheard and misunderstood comments driving the plot.
This morning I get an email reminder about the mammo callback, asked to pre register. First the site lets me in and hangs up on the last question, so I don't know if it registered. Two more attempts and it rejected my password, so I may end up doing it on paper when I get there. They want nonexistent rx uploaded, among other requirements.
I'm not sure I need any of this for a callback, but the computer system probably treats all appointments alike. I don't need more stress about this, I do know that.
After seeing yesterday's weaver, I wonder if some of my pinloom squares need to be animals. Thinking. I have a stack of them. I also wonder if I can use them combined with fabric squares, crocheted all together in a fusion throw. I already have a big piece of fabric for a backing, big enough for a quilt, if I get carried away that far.
Speaking of threads, I've winnowed a pair of very nice black pants onto Freecycle. I love them but this Incredible Shrinking Woman is now not a match for them.
This morning the chicken is simmering making broth, ready to pick the chicken, then use for soup. Lunch is veg croquettes, mashed cannellini beans with egg, celery dice, capers, scallions and red onion dice, Thai red curry sauce. Dessert, need you ask, FD snacking cake.
And here's a getting to the end of the season bouquet
Happy day everyone, wear all the clothes that fit.
