Today started with a long walk to the couch and catching up on my programs as my Nana would say. Her were daytime soaps and mine are nighttime but pretty much the same. I am a big fan of all the Chicago’s and spinoffs as well as the Greys and spinoff. Also finally caught up on Survivor and after watching every single season through the years I really cried when the family visits happened. There was some pretty raw emotion there and, well, I have lasted longer on the Edge of Extinction than most of them!
I filed a bunch of personal taxes for my own clients today. It’s still hard to tell someone they owe even if it is logical that they do and if the government has extended the payment due date by 4 months. I do get to catch up with people though which is lovely.
Ashlée came by so I gave her her birthday present which she promptly opened lol. I knitted her a Jughead style toque (beanie) with a pony tail or bun hole. When Riverdale moved to filming in BC I was commissioned to design and knit a toque for the Jughead Character. I did get paid well, got to go to the depths of the lot to the costume department and actually saw a couple of the actors. Not Luke Perry unfortunately as he was still alive then but not around. Anyway, my little movie fun moment. Ashley always loved that toque so I made her a stylized one.
Started an Afghan as I can use up scraps. It’s from a pattern cousin Bea sent me when I admired the one she made when I Visited her in the UK. I started on the first section and it just seemed unwieldy so I reviewed all the instructions to learn that we use different terms on this side of the puddle. The patterns double crochet is my single etc. Now this can have quite the effect on a pattern! Got it sorted and am motoring on. I watched most of the movie Young Victoria while walking and waiting for midnight so I could make a video and send to my dear friend Mary Lynn on Salt Spring Island. I guess I’ll share it as I think I’m so clever, haha haha
