This is where I pretty much spent my entire day today–sitting on my favorite chair with Chappy. I had a vacation day off from work today but it was such a wet, dreary kind of day, I decided that I didn’t want to leave the house at all. So, I didn’t.

Instead, I relaxed with a book for most of the day–Queens’ Play by Dorothy Dunnett–the second book in the Lymond Chronicle series, and my fourth time reading it. Really, an excellent book for such an otherwise blah kind of day. Action, adventure, romance, derring-do, political intrigue … great reading. Appropriate, too, because this is the tail end of “Reading is Fun” week, which I only just heard about yesterday.

I did some knitting with my reading, too. I’ve got both my current socks up to the final stretch of ribbing. I bet you’d forgotten that I was even knitting any socks, huh? Since I’ve barely mentioned them in the month and a half since I started them. The yarn is Claudia Hand-Painted in a green color whose official name I can’t remember, and they have been the only other knitting project I’ve worked on since I started my blue cardigan in April.

I know, weird, huh? But, this reminds me–Susan? I need to know your foot measurements, please!

Really, though, it’s been a nice, quiet day. It’s been a long time since I managed to stay away from my computer for any length of time, and that made for a nice change. And certainly Chappy and I enjoyed our time together, as always. The downside was that, since all four of us were home doing nothing very exciting, we had pretty much nothing to talk about at supper. Oh, well!

Another interesting link for you? How about this man’s performance art? He takes leaning on a wall to a whole, new level.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
