I'm organising a vegan food festival in a small town and it's either going to be amazingly good or a heartbreaking failure. I'm currently very excited so the come down is gonna be hard when nobody comes :')
(The bar for 'success' is pretty low though as there is absolutely nothing like this going on here normally, so will be happy to eat a doughnut (doughnut baker is confirmed) and meet some new people really.)
A visit to EATS Rosyth on a rainy day. Hanging out with Dad and R and the kids, variously. Brisk November-style sunrises. Followed by strangely warm days.
Walk to Wemyss with Wenna and Max. Both so needy. Some cooperation over stick destruction. Both want to do whatever the other is doing. Bugging each other all evening instead of just relaxing on the sofa. Wenna wants to sit where Max sits. Max only wants cuddles when Lowenna is there.
Strawberry and rhubarb crumble, and gf pear brownie, at the Community Kitchen. Bottled, dried, pesto'd the harvest. Sourdough bananabread with old bananas from GK worked out well.
A packed week, and didn't manage to get any "actual" work done (S&W, governancy stuff, Directors Meeting, admin...). I did go to an IATI Standard Stewardship WG meeting.
Lots of meetings for other things. ENT. Pen Pals. VegFest seems to be getting some attention o.o
Made rhubarb and strawberry crumble, and gf pear brownies in the Community Kitchen.
Just finished Children of Time and I'm absolutely floored. I can't function. That was the best possible ending. I cried. That was everything I want from science fiction. Can't believe it's taken a year of people recommending that for me to get to it.
Swam on a still grey Monday morning and a strangely warm Saturday lunchtime.
Had my first novelry coaching call.
Finished Children of Time but also bought my own copy. Started Station Eleven.
Meetings! Dysart Community Council; Greener Kircaldy training, HR WG, Board; more VegFest stuff...
Made apple peanut butter cake at the Community Kitchen, and helped out with a food workshop about reducing waste by using leftovers. Also lots of good mushroom things.
Finally consolidated all of the G&S stock that has been occupying my living room in the form of a wall of boxes. Took most of the day. Much improved.
