yuuagoI hope everybody had a pleasant weekend.
Mine was... not ideal, which goes without saying considering it was a holiday weekend, but it wasn't that bad, so that's fine. Our only guests this time around were my brother and his new girlfriend, who seems nice enough - hopefully she'll stick around. And luckily for me, the next formal dinner isn't until October. (Thank fuck. I hate formal dinners.)
Maybe next year, if I'm in my own place by then, or the year after that if not, I could teach myself to write pysanky. That would be nice, I think. It'd be difficult, but it sounds like fun, even if it would be time-consuming. There are a lot of places in Alberta to order the proper supplies (though not in my city, unfortunately) so it wouldn't even be that hard to get hold of the dyes and such... I've just always enjoyed the way pysanky look, so it would be nice to try to write some, even just once. I'd also like to try to do lystovky - you know, the kind where you dye the egg with leaves pressed to it in order to make the design (like so) but I have no idea where I would even get leaves at springtime... Maybe I'd have to use fresh herbs from the grocery store, haaa.
Anyway. I went for a walk this afternoon, and it was really pleasant. Very sunny. Hopefully that will continue - I don't mind having to wear my autumn coat as long as there's sun.
