Later…
I changed the link colors. Dark green for visited links and orange for unvisited, same as the mouseover color. And I added a bunch of links on the side, and my pretty chicklets.
Ok, maybe it’s time to stop fiddling with the layout. Good enough. So here’s some actual blogging.
I finished reading Dragonsinger to Henry a few days ago. He loved it as much as, if not more than, Dragonsong! I checked out Dragondrums for him to read to himself (I’m not crazy about that one. Piemur is not as appealing to me as Menolly is.) and we started By The Great Horn Spoon for bedtime a few days ago. (Note: I can’t decide which cover art is the worst on those four books. Lord.) I loved this book and read it several times when I was a child, and I was delighted to find that it’s still just as enjoyable! And the chapters are just the right length for a bedtime story. We read chapter five tonight.
I was very tired again today and I promised Dan I’d try not to work too hard. So I went out early for groceries and to mail the Nautiloid to Wastrel. Henry carried everything in for me (including all the water I bought yesterday) and, after I put everything away, I settled in on the couch to do nothing. I watched Henry play The Hobbit and worked on knitty’s petit chou (more about that tomorrow, probably), which, now that I’ve charted it out and started over for the third time, has stopped being frustrating and started being extremely fun!
Hey I haven’t tried linking a picture yet. Here’s the Nautiloid:
