ailsa_chanDecided that as the house was a state and I needed a lie in anyway, I'd take yesterday off work. Didn't quite work out like that, but you'll see.
Saturday was the wessex party. I spent most of the day getting the piping on Marchello's coat sorted. Piping under a topstitch is harder to get inplace, but seems to look a lot better than piping through a seam. Just got one last bit left to sew. Then Dom came round much later and we got more work done on hos Hero coat. One more hem to go and them I think it's just running a ribbon through it left. So, more suggestions for Dom to cosplay please!
Saturday evening was the Wessex party. We tried the new DDR game where you put your own music cds in and it makes dance tracks. Some worked better than others. I nearly died during "Number One" from the Bleach album, but will have to get a copy of the came and experiment. Then we watched Brass Eye and Jam.
Sunday was Wessex, with much anime goodness, then we took Joe's sister Amy out to Wagamama for noodles. She had chiken ramen, appearently because she could say chicken ramen. Yasai Curry Kastsu for me, yummy!
Monday, we got up and took Amy to the station, then nipped into town to pick up my new full length mirror from Habitat. (It's very nice, simple dark oak free standing mirror). Did a bit of tidying in the house. Then we remembered that we'd passed Westonbirt arboretum a couple of weeks ago and said we wanted to go there to see all the trees in autumn colours. The day was a perfect crisp, sunny October day, and we took many pictures of beautiful trees. Most are here:
