On one front: KnowSpam has blocked about 600 emails for me in about 3 weeks. I think the overall amount of spam has dropped, which isn’t a bad thing at all. I am still checking the list of held mail from time to time but it’s basically running on automatic.

On another front: I’ve started quilting the pink and green quilt. I know that the pre-quilting procrastination thing is pretty predictable but it really was ok to start this. I’m glad I took the time to try out some threads. I am going to try hard to resist the hand-dyed threads in the future. They’re probably great for embroidery etc but for quilting they seem too heavy, making it too hard to find a good tension. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long for plan B to arrive and now I’ve got about half the center quilted.

Errands: Given that my week of vacation is underway, I think I should have a dedicated servant to run errands and get my car inspected. It would be nice if the same person would also heat up my dinner for me. Tomorrow night dinner is out. The night after that – pasta with bolognese sauce. OK, back to quilting. Will take photos later.
