Sunday, sunshine and satisfaction

Up early today to be at church for 9am to do the projector...  It went well, I didn't make any obvious mistakes, and I managed a fast song-switch (which needed a wee bit dexterity to time correctly).  Also encouraging was that I chatted with a couple of people I don't normally see, and had helpful conversations with closer friends.

Lunch later with another friend, followed by a cyclepath walk in the sunshine to try to find a view of the sea.  We were within a few hundred yards of the coast, but the shore hills got in the way... Eventually we had a lovely view across the Solway to Scotland, including the wind farm in the middle but I think there's a certain elegance to the tall turbines...

I've finally untangled a skein of yarn for Mum...  I'd tried to help her wind it into a ball before the summer, but it was just getting into a real mess so I said I'd take it home and bring it back next time we were up north.  Well, that didn't work out, but I wrapped it round the arms of a wooden chair this afternoon and, with lots of patience, I've untangled it into a hand-wound ball.  I might try to transfer it to a ballwinder if I feel brave tomorrow evening.  A satisfying end to at least 3 hours' work!
