Life lived in dot points
The general summary of the last few days is 'ow'. There has been a cold front, and my body is having all the snits.
Today
- voice chat with Youngest, talked about 'how does this assignment even work' and 'argh, how I am I supposed to pass this unit if the materials aren't made available to externals'
- sewn the currently cut bits of binding together, sewn onto the quilt -- I'm about 40cm short, so that will be some faffing around, but whatever. edit: and now I've done that, it is all sewn on, and the first pass ironing done. still to pin
- progress on the crochet - the pale green ball of yarn is not the same as the one I've used already, will have to work out whether there is another one somewhere. Otherwise, this is looking nice as a final edge, which is one row short of what I was planning. Then the rest of this set of yarn gets offered elsewhere
- prepped parcel for Youngest; Artisanat will post
Yesterday
- cancelled many of the plans for the day, because ow. this included not doing any of my Friday exercises
- expedition to get pens for Youngest (Officeworks), library book (Spearwood; plan - one, actual, four). Any optional other details abandoned
- did not start any of the library books; started book one of a series I own books 2 & 3 of -- had to go to the internet archive library for it, which annoys me no end, but there are no ways to actually get an ebook that I can find, and no easy option to get a physical copy.
- bias cutting fabric to be binding for current lap quilt
- trimmed the last edge of lap quilt
- decided that the lap quilt needed a row of quilting just in from the edge (say, 1/2"?) - very pleased with that decision now that I've added the binding because the quilting is exactly where I would have decided it needed to be.

This is a messy tangle of a retiring academic (who finished on the last day of September) who didn't believe students who didn't turn up to class deserved access to materials, and a new academic who managed significant tech fail causing them to stop rather than start a recording. The latter meant no answers to last week's tutorial questions (although maybe the new academic will do something about that) and the former was showing up as 'only some of the tutorial questions get answered in the recordings, and nothing else is being made available'.
