Nov. 10th, 2012 02:42 pmThis morning was all about fêtes. Kaaron Warren picked me up and we went to three fêtes in my general vicinity (give or take ten miles). There were two school fêtes, one church fête and one retirement village fête. Canberra was fête central today, for there were the same number happening on the northside.
Donna Hanson and Madeleine joined us for the last fête and I was evil aunt and made Madeleine laugh.
Kaaron has serious, serious fête-fu and found me a designer dress, unworn, label still on. It was my size, exactly suitable for the Conflux dance (accessorise it and it will be both steampunk and sightly angelic) and it fits and it was $12. I have great trouble finding clothes and so often forgo costume: this shows how good Kaaron is.
I also purchased a cookbook, Topo Gigio's donkey friend (seriously admired by Madeleine), an empty travel chess board (which I have plans for), lots of tomatoes, some niblets for chicken soup, a set of cup measures (which look as if they're Imperial and I needed Imperial ones - saves me doing everything by weight, but if they aren't then they'll still be handy) and two rather nice works of art. I also bought a gourmet meat pie (pepper steak and mushrooms - the pastry was proper homemade pie pastry) and Kaaron bought us coffee.
And now it's back to work, for I've only done an hour of anything useful. I have, however, enjoyed myself an inordinate amount.
