klwilliamsLast night was my first night back at aikido in months, so of course we did high falls. I woke up sore this morning and stayed in bed for a bit, though I did have a wonderful phone conversation. After that I crawled out to the farmer's market. I had intended to get just some bread and some red peppers for the turtles, but, well, they had golden beets which would go well with the carrot recipe I'm making today, and grapes, and a sweet potato that would go well in soup once my chicken stock is made. And fennel. I can't just walk past fennel without some.
After the farmer's market I stopped by the post office, where an early book by Chaz was waiting for me plus the newest Benjamin January book by Barbara Hambly. I somehow missed hers when it first came out in hardback a few years ago, but the trade is out now. Now I'm waiting for the carrots and beets to finish baking (with a sprig of rosemary I picked from my garden), but in the meantime I've watched videos on how to prune roses, so that may happen after lunch or tomorrow morning. It's a sunny, warm day today, so it's a good chance to do some cleanup outside.
Dymphna, meanwhile, chowed down immediately on the red pepper (after I found her and brought her in here), so G'Kwan immediately joined her...and started trying to mate with her. Sigh. I'm ignoring the noises behind me. Just as well.
Later on tonight is SF in SF, with Diana Paxton and Rudy Rucker reading, followed by the always interesting Q&A led by Terry Bisson. And someone else is driving, so it won't matter if I turn into a pumpkin on the way home.
