Long day at a lake in the Whiteshell and a few more rows on the drive home before all light was lost.

I haven't had yogurt in a week at least - we're a yogurt and granola household- and there are at least 3 containers in this condition - not quite empty.

Had a good laugh at an advertisement for a pneumatic tube system for laundry. Ridiculous levels of privilege aside and the fact that getting laundry to the machine is rarely the biggest issue for most folks - I fixed the image.

I had all my handspun on the floor looking for project inspiration. Asked teen to help. She agreed the Moon and Zen garden crepes should go together but needed something. She suggested purple/lilac. Found this in the stash and yes, I think this could do. (I know it's not lilac/purple)

I worked the handspun as a crepe yarn and worked in some extra silk in a similar colourway.
