Ticka ticka ticka

OK, got the October newsletter for my spinning guild done and posted.

Sat around during the gallery reception yesterday spinning Mongolian cashmere on a drop spindle. Not something I ever thought likely I'd be doing, but thanks to the study group, I can do that now. Did some more during lunch today, but it will take a long time to spin up the whole four ounces I have...

Nearing the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and I admit I'm feeling vaguely dissatisfied. For one thing, I'm starting to know the answers before the characters have figured them out. For another, I'm getting impatient with the amount of padding she seems to have done in order to make the book longer without advancing the story or any character developments. At least I'm finding as many laughs in it as there are sad and serious points.

Must get some sleep...
