I ate a home-made ice lolly today. Mint, lime and lemon, and it was tart and tasty, a very grown-up lolly. I have another in the freezer, plus two made with mint and rosewater and rose-flavoured sugar and (somewhat randomly) blueberries. We shall see.

With enormous effort I have emptied of weeds the patch of garden by the Lion's Cage. The holly and the brambles kept attacking me, but I persevered. We've covered it with weed-suppressant material for now, but at some point I'm going to have to do something with it all...

Have completed another pod_together assignment, recording a Harry Potter universe story with some fun sound effects.

I seem to be knitting an eternal shawl. 750m of laceweight silk/alpaca yarn, and the ball just doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. I shall start a pair of socks tonight, however, as I am taking the coach into London (and back) on Wednesday, and don't fancy risking my silk/alpaca on that trip. Freshly started socks will be more compact, and I can tuck the balls of yarn into the socks as I go.

An awesome baby ride!
