Knit six hats, although the first two fairisle toques came out a bit small, and I still need to weave in the loose ends.
Got Andrew a new case for his iPad which has a keyboard, so it basically converts the tablet into a mini-laptop.
Replaced fluid valve inside toilet this afternoon— no more dripping noises.
Andrew found a bunch of Kolchak the Night Stalker episodes and we’ve been watching them. Good fun, though after a few episodes you begin to wonder how Kolchak is still employed, as there’s always at least one scene per in which his boss yells at him for ignoring his assigned story on something normal like the housing market in favour of freaking out at the local police about how they need to stop the vampire who’s behind the recent spate of murders.
Met up with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
handful_ofdust and her family yesterday. Should do that more often.
My Yuletide contribution was ‘Sugar’ (White Zombie, 1932); I’d actually hoped to be assigned Some Like It Hot so I ended up writing that story too: ‘Paperwork.’
