Girls' weekend in.

C and I are on our own tonight, as the boys have taken a Scout trip* to the San Francisco Bay area and no I'm not jealous IN THE SLIGHTEST even though they're camping and hiking in places from which I have wanted to photograph the city for at least THREE YEARS. No, not jealous at all. (Oh well. LT says it's foggy anyway.) So far in their absence, C and I have:

  • had a nap (not very successful; neither of us woke in the best mood, and C was unbelievably grouchy)
  • eaten junky food (deep-fried Tina's Burritos. I'm sure there's something junkier but you'd have to look pretty hard to find it.)
  • watched a costume drama (BBC's adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South, LOVE)
  • had hot cocoa (from a mix, but with real hand-whipped cream on top so that has to count for something, right?)

    and, so that we can feel less slothful:

  • folded three baskets of laundry.

Overall I'd say it's been a Good Day.

*Girls' nights in have become more common around here since the Scout troop resolved to do at least one overnight trip PER MONTH until the end of time. So roughly one in four weekends, it's just the two of us. Good thing we have an excellent supply of film adaptations of classic British novels.

Oh, the BBC version of North and South is a good one! You've reminded me that it's time to watch it again.
