Reading "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson.  Sometimes you need something light and entertaining.  It's making me itch to at least get out somewhere local, easy, and leafy:  Pacific Spirit Park, or Norvan Falls in Lynn Valley...  The only disappointing thing in this book so far is the occassional mention of his hiking buddy throwing litter away along the trail.

About to watch "One Hour With You" on youtube.  I have yet to be disappointed by Ernst Lubitsch. 

Presently:

There are eggs in the fridge to use up, and they may very well be destined for Guinness-milk chocolate ice cream from "The Perfect Scoop".  The coffee and stout ice cream from "Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home" was excellent and I bet the two are somewhat similar.  Booze is a great addition to home-made ice cream and sorbet - it helps you avoid ending up with a rock-solid frozen treat.

When I can knit again (soon-ish? maybe?) I'll be making the Jaali shawl by Kitman Figueroa.  After being on the fence about shawls for some time (a lot of them are lace, which I like, but would they really get incorporated into my wardrobe? would I want to incorporate them into my wardrobe?), I saw the pattern for Damask and immediately bought it.  It's one of my all-time favourite knits - both the process and the finished product. 

But mostly, it's now time to get off the couch and out of the house a bit more.  Even though I had to cancel my trip this past weekend, my mind keeps thinking travel-y thoughts...
