Family and stuff
And Yet More Candles
Bought some new zinc-cored wick the other day as I’m fed up with having to soak wicks in melted beeswax before I can use it with beeswax tealights or votives. Seeing it on the site where I normally buy all of my beeswax and wick, I thought I’d found my holy grail and I ordered 5 metres of the appropriate size.
It might be finished by November
Current Mood: Pleased 🙂
The chunky winter cardigan is almost half-finished. I managed to add another 8-10 inches over the weekend. I’ve also finally figured out that it’s knitted from one side to the other rather than from top to bottom. At least the pattern makes sense now!
Candles and More Candles
Current mood: Happy 😀
I managed to make some candles today. The first batch I’ve made in ages (the candlemaking session I ran at the Discworld Con doesn’t count).
Get the walking stick out!
Having managed to allow his back to heal after last weekend, R managed to hurt it again this afternoon. Or rather K did when he decided to do one of his kamikaze backward lunges whilst holding R’s hand.
So it’s back to using a walking stick, no standing for any length of time and painkillers. Fortunately, we managed to pick up a couple of collapsible walking sticks the other day so we can now do “his n’ her” matching walking sticks on occasions.
Garden Show
Mood: Pleased 😀
This weekend saw the annual local garden show with both boys entering things they’d grown.
