I’m finally
finished putting the marbles on the bodice of the marble dress. What a job! And
the flare is skinned and so is half of the skirt. That’s what I did on Saturday.
In the photo above, the skirt looks crappy. I’ve a long way to go on it and it doesn’t photograph well because it is
dark and when the flocking is on it’ll be even harder to see structural
details. Its darkness and surface density makes it absorb all the light.
I took a break
to go to Vaisakhi with Cathy. It was a mob. It was too busy, too loud and too
crazy for me, but we had some good food and it was great to be outdoors
— if a bit chilled. (Bruce Skyped
from Bari, Italy, where it was 25°.)
When I was on
the bus, my phone rang. It was Rich. I have absolutely no idea who he is. But
he knew a lot about me and he said he learned it from me. He said we meet
somewhere but I couldn’t hear what he said.
When I got home
I discovered he’d also sent an email. He proposed getting together today. I
proposed tomorrow instead and a public place like someone going on a date would
do even though I’m certain I’ve no need for any concern. He sounds and writes
like a gentleman, but he revealed no reason for getting together.
He just may be
someone looking for company. Who knows? I doubt sincerely it’s a date; I hope
not because I’m not a dater. Apparently we met two years ago; there’s been no
contact since. The plan is to go for a walk together.
Today I’ll skin
more of the skirt for a while and then I’ll go outside for a walk in the
sunshine. After that, a little more on the dress and then, tonight, there’s a
surprise party for Larry, Allan’s partner, at a local restaurant. It’s a
surprise dinner.
And speaking of
surprises … it’s sunny today and not as chilly.
