what did I do this weekend?
Saturday morning I got up and shovelled snow, then started sewing the replacement edging onto my phone baldric. Then David and Caroline came over, and while they ate the pizza they brought with them I baked some naan filled with spinach and almonds, then I returned to sewing while they did projects of their own (he in the shop, and she on her computer). Then in the evening I put the sewing down and my friend Max came over. We four chatted for a while, then D&C went to her place and Max and I traded massage.
He helped me shovel snow this morning and went home this afternoon (he lives about an hour south of here), after which I resumed sewing. David came back over and returned to his projects, and eventually he pointed out the time and wondered if I were going to dance
He felt for staying at the house, but lent me his car
dance was fun--10 of us tonight, including a couple of new people who are active in the Luleå Bug and Swing dance group (and thus are already quite good at dancing, so it is just a matter of learning how folk dance differs).
Then home and continued sewing till my audio book ran out (it is really nice that 1) I have gotten good enough in Swedish that I understand audio books now without needing to also see the text at the same time and 2)that my new bluetooth hearing aid adapter plus new hearing aids have such good sound that I can enjoy listening to audio books, for the first time in my life), and I realized that it was late enough that I wasn't going to get the project done tonight. So I got onto the computer to buy the next book in the series (Näckrosdammen is the one I bought today; this is a series I read when I did the Swedish for immigrants course years ago--we read the first one in class, and I checked the others out of the library, and I decided it was time to read them again, but given how busy I am, I opted to listen instead so that I can accomplish more with my reading time.)
and decided to post quickly before I hurry off to bed. Tomorrow I try to figure out what is wrong with the ICP-MS now--the plasma wouldn't start for our PhD student this weekend, and gave her a "bad vacuum error", which doesn't sound good.
