End of the week domestic
It's still raining and it is cold. We've been eating light, healthy food - toad in the hole, kippers, kedgeree. Soon we will smother ourselves with lard and sew up our clothes. I am about to make a vegetable soup and some banana bread in tonight's cookathon.
Reading at the moment: Terri Windling's THE WOODWIFE, which was a present and which I am greatly enjoying. I've just finished![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
docbrite's LIQUOR, which was excellent. I will be looking up further book(s) in this series. I liked Poppy Brite's earlier novels very much and this is a new departure but, I think, a highly successful one.
I also went to my spinning and weaving class, and the results of the last few weeks are here:

The blue was dyed in an indigo vat and I can't remember what the orange and apricot were dyed with (onion skins, I think, and possibly sumac). The plan is: spin enough wool, dye it blue, weave it into something, probably the kind of lumpy scarf you give your mum when you're 10.
