Friday Night Thoughts

#1 Troy is a bloke flick. Proof: this quote:
Hector: All my life I've lived by a code and the code is simple: honor the gods, love your woman and defend your country. Troy is mother to us all. Fight for her! "
Even Eric Bana can't save it.

#2 The best ice cream is "Ice cream from the Valley" - organic, fresh, satisfying without being over-rich or icky sweet. The chocolate and roasted hazelnuts, the blueberry and cinnamon, the vanilla bean - Oh, how the flavours linger...

#3 After spending hours and hours in front of this screen today, I'm too tired to knit anything neatly, so I will save it all for tomorrow.

We have turned the corner and are on the straight

Clapotis progress report:
Increase section: done, with one extra repeat
The Straight: 12 rows done [I refuse to calculate how many are left, especially since I am going to make it longer]
Amount to be set aside for decrease section - a little less than 93 grams: I forgot to weigh it before I got stuck in to The Straight, so I will either
a) weigh it after another 12 rows
b) weigh it at some multiple of 12 and divide and conquer
c) wing it with a little guesstimation, and have leftovers

Calibrating my scales
(I love it when you get the exact thing you really want!!)
