Weekending
Nov. 7th, 2021 06:59 pmThis weekend I have:
-managed two solo swims in the lake (having decided that I'm familiar enough with it to swim there by myself even in winter, and that getting to swim this weekend really was absolutely vital to my wellbeing). It was glorious, especially today when the sun was out, and no-one stole my bag. (I did order a cheap bike lock so I could lock it to things to deter thieves, but it hadn't arrived when I swam yesterday and today I had to get in at a different point and couldn't find anything to lock it to.)
-finished sewing a second pyjama top out of the leftover fabric from the winter pyjamas I made years ago, so I now have two matching sets.
-assembled a free sewing pattern for wide-leg trousers which I think I am not actually going to use as it is ridiculously wide. (I have some lovely yellow corduroy which I want to make wide-leg trousers out of, and I was going to use the pattern I used for my purple trousers recently but it has front pleats and I'm not sure how well those will work in corduroy, but every other pattern I can find for non-elasticated trousers is either really wide-legged or slim legged.)
Still to come, shepherd's pie and Doctor Who. And I have mostly managed to avoid thinking too much about work and dreading the week to come.
