First day of holiday (83/365)

[white_hart]

Normally I'd spend most of the first day of a holiday on a motorway. Today, I have:

- slept until 9am

- washed the 3.5m of wine-coloured cotton twill I have bought to make a boiler suit out of

- ordered a set of 48 coloured pencils, because I want to be able to sketch out ideas for making things (currently the idea I want to sketch is a top that would be half bi pride flag and half ace pride flag, because I can't work out if that would look amazing or like something a demented harlequin would wear)

- measured myself to work out which size I needed for the boiler suit, and then remembered that I was going to investigate My Body Model, took lots more measurements and now have my own personalised croquis

- printed out the instructions for the boiler suit

- been for a walk in the afternoon sunshine, which was warm enough that I felt perfectly comfortable in just a t-shirt

I think that counts as a good day.

That is a busy day! I'm impressed with the walk in the T-shirt. I was in windproof coat, wool jumper, and gloves.

Coloured pencils are great. antisoppist gave me a set for Christmas 2019, and they're really handy both for quick art that doesn't involve getting much our of clearing it up, and for sketches for designing things. And when you find that you can't live without an extra pencil that is the precise colour of [Norwegian fir trees on a sunny day in March] you can buy them individually.

I was in a windproof hoody to start off with, but then I got too warm and had to tie it round my waist. I do tend to run hot, though, and I warm up a lot when walking.
