0. I wake to the sound of John’s alarm and realise it’s the first time I’ve stirred all night.
1. Cheap bus fare there and back – my return journey costs 50p less than a single on the other route.
1b. The afternoon is a bit of a bust – there isn’t as much of the usual laughter and bonhomie and it feels like more things have gone wrong for me than right. But when I get home and review it properly – looking at the photographs of the works-in-progress and inspecting the finished pieces – I see it’s not all as bad as I’d first feared. I do though learn a “do it better” lesson: slow down again, stop trying to take short cuts.
2. We meet a slight dog with a big stick, a very excitable puppy who has to run fast to catch up with her dad, two slow brown labs and a quietly friendly tan chap, whose puppy buddy makes me laugh: she drops and rolls to show her belly every few steps.
3. Good burgers.
4. I restart last night’s embroidery pattern on calico. My outline can be finer: smoother but still bold. I take the time to get it right.
