This weekend started, as many of them do, with a run on the beach. For full disclosure, that was actually Friday morning before work, but I work from home on Fridays so it sort of feels like the weekend. Not the best photo, but it was the best winter sunshine! Friday night my parents came over for dinner, and as is also usual I forgot to take any photos! Saturday we went to Pinopoloza X Mould - a wine festival and a cheese festival, both of which we have been to before, but this time combined. So good. We tasted so many wines and cheeses, and bought a fair amount of cheese home with us. Here's Leon on the tram home. looking very happy! Sunday morning we got to do house stuff, and then I had some time for spinning. It was warm enough to sit on the balcony and spin, which is basically my favourite thing to do and felt like such a treat in the middle of winter.

I am also someone who picks a brand of something and keeps going back. it's a way of limited the relentless choice. I've been buying Crumpler bags since 2001, and in about 2006 I bought a little shoulder bag in green. I got rid of it in one of the big cleanouts, and then I sort of regretted it. The colour (green green, not blue green) is not one I'm really into and as a bag it has space for essentials, and certainly not for a knitting project. Still, I've been talking about that bag for a long time. And then the other day Crumpler has a "vintage" release. i think they must have found a whole lot of unsold bag...
