Yesterday P taught an irrigation workshop at the etg, got some groceries at
the coop, came home for lunch, then went to see several of his students
walk at graduation. He got a mention in one of the student speeches; very
sweet.

I trued the ends of a linen/rayon/elastane crepe, prepped for washing,
washed it and the rest of the stack of fabric on hot, and hung everything
to dry on the line. The new presser feet arrived, and I practiced on some
scraps of flannel (difficult) and linen (easy). I will need more practice,
particularly on the starts of seams, but the potential for perfect
flat-felled seams is clearly visible. I finished Our Lady.

For lunch I made smiley tots and a quick red lentil, carrots, squash, and
peas thing with turmeric and coriander to go with. It was essentially
deconstructed samosas; definitely doing that again.

After lunch I made Katie snacks (2c puffs, 6T protein powder, shake
cinnamon; 1/2c syrup, slightly less butter, 220F, 1/2c almond butter) and I
have a good feeling about their structural integrity. New chocolate
topping; a vegan 67% from Honduras, with rum. Low acid, high nutty/roasted.

Afterwards I took in the fabric, ironed some of the corners that had become
twisted in the wind, and partially straightened the grain on one of the
bits of lawn that seems to have suffered stress from being on a bolt maybe?
Wonky in the middle anyway.

A shelf I’d ordered to go in the shower arrived, but didn’t stay up. Boo.
I’ve washed it more thoroughly and we’ll see if that helps.

I cut out a pair of lightweight sleep shorts for P, and made sketches for a
summer vest and herringbone pants for me.

Dinner, crossword, Flash, snack, sleep. I’m back on my daily flossing habit.

Wretched dreams of bad wheelchair access in buses, pulling the stop cord
only to get teleported to the middle of a busy intersection, networks of
freeways hostile to pedestrians, poor signage, sprawling malls and
convention halls.
