Into San Francisco early this morning. Making my usual stop at Peet’s just before they opened I still managed to get caught in the lane control lights at the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza. After that point, the traffic was reasonably heavy but at least it moved at a decent speed. Not reasonable, you understand, nor anywhere near the posted speed limit but at least we were never at a standstill.
One of the advantages to arriving early is an easy and close parking space. Finding one near a light pole, I ignored the rain in favor of knitting on the Ten Stitch Afghan and listening to an audiobook. The Cat’s Meow – by Jonathan B Losos (borrowed electronically from the San Francisco Public Library on recommendation from Rebecca) is about the evolution of cats. Salted with enough scientific references to make it credible it is interesting. Personally, I wish the author had been a bit less verbose but it still is interesting.
I was home from my VA appointments by noon and spent the afternoon putting 554 stitches into the not yet shown stitching which became my 12th finish of the year. I put in the recommended backstitching. Looked at it, then took it back out. It didn’t add anything and actually distracted in some areas. I may think about it, changing both the recommended colors as well as the recommended number of strands.
I now need to decide what it is next. I can tackle the next Zodiac Girl, the last planet from the 2021 Solar System SAL, or start something new. Hummm.
But since it is Valentines Day – perhaps I should just go have supper with George first?
