sensory pleasures

On Sunday, August 8, 2010, 1:01 pm, in baking, big picture stuff, experience, it's the little things too, joy, knitting, sweaters, yarn, by Lori

see it, smell it, taste it, touch it, everything but hearing it!

It’s sunny and beautiful outside, and a wonderland indoors. The coffee was brewing, blueberry scones were baking, the riotous armload of stargazer lilies filled the air with their dizzyingly thick smell, and the rough texture of Rowan Felted Tweed made my hands crave to touch my Peasy sweater that’s starting to look like an actual sweater!

Happy Sunday, y’all -

flying the great circles

Well, anyway, I’ll be flying over the North Pole when I go to Laos and Cambodia in the fall. Want to see? I’m so excited!

That leg will be 15 hours, following a Great Circle, then I’ll change planes and fly 3 hours to Phnom Penh. I’m flying Cathay Pacific, which may well be a great airline, but it’s not Singapore Airlines, which is the airline I flew to Vietnam. But I don’t care! It’ll be my 2nd flight over the North Pole, I am a very very lucky girl. Here are the specifics, once I’m there:

I just finished watching The Big Sleep and spinning – what a nice morning! I slept in so late – 9:30! – and wish the day weren’t half over, but what to do. You need a lazy day now and then, right? Now I think I’ll make some bread, my favorite ciabatta recipe, and then do some knitting, and maybe a little more movie watching. One of my goals is to see all the AFI’s top 100 films, so there’s an abundance waiting for me. I hope you’re having such a lovely Sunday too!
