The weather has been horrible, raining and windy, and grey - exactly the kind of weather where you want to stay inside and stay warm, especially if you feel like you have a cold coming on again.
So, here's a few things i did this weekend:
- The biggest thing I did was finally begin to rearrange my recipe folder. I've been meaning to do this for so long, and have been umming and ahhhing about the best way to organise them. It's mainly recipes I've cut out of magazines and newspapers. Before yesterday they were all in a total mess - just piled into a folder making it difficult to find anything. I was considering cutting them all out, sticking them on index cards and putting them in a box, but I knew I'd loose all the pictures - which is kind of what I like best about recipes anyway. In the end i organised them in sections (chicken, lamb, beef, herbs, vege, tomatoes, asian, french, italian and so on) it was a mission and there were recipes spread all over the living room floor as I sorted them out. I wish I could of taken a photo of it - it was a MESS. I've basically finished.. a few more odds and sods to sort out. But it's a good feeling.
- Made roast pumpkin soup with garlic. I got the main idea from Soup Kitchen, but kinda changed it a bit. I wasn't super happy with it, but it worked out ok.
- Worked on my scarf - I really need to finish it soon as winter is well and truly here. Will post some photos of it soon - I'm making it from the yarn I purchased at La Droguerie in Paris. I keep meaning to post pictures of all the things I bought there, but keep using them before i get a chance. It's a cute stitch I'm using - Maybe I'll post the pattern up here. It's not very complicated.
- I hang out on Raverly a bit. I signed up ages ago and haven't really done much on there and kind of want to. So I posted on a few forums, tried to find some new groups. I also wanted to find out about the buzz for this weekend's Knitting and Stitching show at Ally Pally. I'm going with D and we are pretty excited. I have a feeling its going to be great. So I've been thinking about that a fair bit to (should I have a shopping list, how much money should I take, is one day enough). We're thinking of having a Knit Nite on Saturday to get all excited about heading out there the next day. It will be good if Maaike comes as well. I'm sure I'll be posting with joy and excitement next week.
- I also thought about my job loads. I keep meaning to post about this.. as its relevant and kinda exciting ... I will one day soon.
So, all in all a pretty eventful weekend.
