 FRIDAY

Got up and left the house with Leofwyna when she headed to her haircut appointment so we could spend the day hitting garage sales, estate sales and a thrift store.  Didn't want to go amok but we did find a nice wet-dry vac to replace our old one and a few thrifty other bits.  Mostly the day was for being together in the lovely mild August afternoon seeking the perfect game; the vac will do.  Went to scribes this evening where I painted 'woodgrain' and Leofwyna put together a couple outlines for illumination.  No one else came to Carlos/Isabeau's this evening so we had a quiet visit while working.

SATURDAY

Leofwyna was at work today so after sleeping in late and reading my email and LJ I headed out to feed Shelly's cats and score something to eat myself.  Stopped in at JoAnnes for tan linen using a 40% coupon as I want to remake my Saxon undertunic for Coronation.  [I'm going to have to throw it in a dye bath to get the color closer to what the embroidery is on... a little more Army brown sort of color.]

Returned home to make major progress sheering three more raised beds, only one more to finish and I can start turning out and sifting the fill to get rid of weed roots.  I plan on a late planting of brocolli, spinach and radishes... maybe some pod peas, too.  Gotta look at the seed box and check maturing numbers to see what else I might put in hoping for a mild, long fall season.

Spent the evening watching more Olympics.  Phelps completed his eight golds with a 4x100m relay... Yay!!
