I am a bit prickly with the heat

[infryq]

Yesterday I did the laundry and hung it out on the line, worked in the
garden and pulled out the peas, repaired the trellis, planted more pole
beans, adjusted ties on the summer squash, and picked coreopsis, calendula,
dahlia, and blackcurrants. I cooked another batch of rice berry, ate lunch
with P, and we did the crossword. I put seam allowances on the waistband
pieces for the box pleat skirt, and added overlaps for buttons. I ironed
the outer fabric, and wet a washed-in crease in the hopes it will hang out
a bit. I will wind up using one full yard and parts of a second. After
dinner we played around with a plaintext-based accounting program called
Ledger to use for P’s freelance invoicing; it’s pretty neat!
