lederhosenMet new housemates. They seem pretty nice.
Took an hour to cook a half-hour roast. It was still on the reddish end of 'rare' after that, but it tasted nice. (Unlike the cabbage, which ended up in the compost.)
Shopped for bed linen, since Myers were having a sale and I had some old vouchers to use up. I was happily poking through a hundred and one variants of 'white', 'off-white', and 'dear god no', when I came across a pattern that caught my eye... it was just a simple square grid, brown lines on white, about 3cm on a side, which led to this mental process:
ME1: That's only slightly bigger than the grid we use for our D&D games.
ME2: ...And?
ME1: So if I bought this one, we'd also be able to -
ME2: No.
ME1: But it would only -
ME2: No.
ME1: But it would just -
ME2: No.
ME1: It -
ME2: No.
ME1: And it would also work as a go board.
ME2: You don't even remember the rules of go.
ME1: Hnefatafl?
ME2: No.
ME1: ...Scrabble?
ME2: Huh?
ME1: I could mark the bonus squares and get some big tiles, and we could use it for Scrabble.
ME2: The tiles would slide all over the place every time you leant on the bed.
ME1: And we could play Scrabble for forfeits. Every time somebody scores a bingo -
ME2: BAD MISTUR ARTBLAK! NOE! *WHAP!* NOE! *WHAP* NOE!
I ended up getting one of the plain white sets instead... but it occurs to me that I might need a second set for when the first one's in the wash. Hmmmm. ME2 can't watch all the time...
Things I did not do today: my tax return. Man, it feels good to have that out of the way early. Also, did not call my brother for his birthday, but I'll go do that right now.
Exercise: 20km/10 pages: up to page 17 of Council of Elrond. Several pages of discussion about Gollum, Legolas admits that the elves lost track of him and he was last seen heading for Dol Guldur. I've been pretty good about walking to and from work; one good thing about daylight savings, at least it means it's a bit cooler in the mornings when I head out now.

I don't think I have it in my cupboard already.

I'm not looking. No, no, I'm not looking.
Besides, I have that fabric I acquired from mother's stash.
