Nothing like looking at the forecast and seeing rain.
Or, for that matter, looking out the window which just confirms what you already know – it is quite wet out there. There is a strong temptation just to curl up in front of the fireplace with a nice book, blanket. Or audiobook and knitting if I believed for even a minute that it would be possible to knit a complicated lace pattern and do anything else at the same time.
So instead I ran errands, replenished my bead supply (see knitting mentioned above and Wild Swan from a couple of days ago). By the end of the day I had made it to row 69.
The highlight (or not) of the afternoon was getting soaked on my way to the Cal Basketball game (which they managed to not lose).

and then it was home followed by a late in the dark run to OAK to pick up Noah.
