A long day followed by a road trip

[kareina]

 I got only 4 hours sleep, but woke in a good mood and headed in to work. This morning was a special uni breakfast panel discussion thing they are starting up, with regular conversations on topics connecting academia and society. When I saw the announcement for it a month ago (before we decided to head down to Coronet) I saw that it was right before the Archaeology department meeting, and so I signed up for it--free breakfast and an additional excuse to be on campus that day. Win. Breakfast was bread roll halves topped with cheese and vegetables, and mango lassi, so I was quite happy with it, and found the discussion interesting and made good progress making a belt from the Marron dragons tablet woven band I bouhht at 12th night, backed with Soft black wool twill.

 

The Archaeology department meeting was also interesting, and I have volunteered to help out with at least one of the long overdue reports on archaeological excavation (as in the people who didn't the excavations are retired, but the uni is still legally obliged to submit the report, since they were responsible for the dig). It sounds like a fun way to get some real archaeology experience.

 

I got the bill from the carpenter today for the work he's done to create the attic toilet room, and I am please to note that the cost is low enough that after paying it I still have more in house savings than existed in that account in October. Not that it is cheap mind you, just that I have been able to throw a fair bit into savings lately.

 

After paying the bills I had enough time to make more Garden mousse and also some blueberry mousse with the other half package of tofu, and packed it in the ice chest for food to eat tomorrow, and made some popcorn and was packing it for tomorrow as well when Keldor got home from work. He rested a bit while I cleaned the kitchen.

 

Then we loaded the car and took out compost and emptied the cat sand.

 

I was doing my yoga for the day when Þórólfr arrived, and we left as soon as I finished.
