Reading: Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourne: A historical romance mystery. I'm just in it for the tea.
Just finished a book by Norwegian mystery author Karin Fossum: Bad Intentions. This is a good summer read with deftly drawn characters. It always irks me when authors don't tell us what the characters look like and Fossum paints a picture.
I also just got out copious books on dyes and Catherine lent me a couple of lovely books, one on Russian fabrics and on by Wade Davis, an ethnobotanist.
Watching: Dalziel and Pascoe, Season 1
Dye Pot: Madder (from Maiwa) with cotton mordanted with tannin and alum
Dye jars: mordanted cotton with viola ice dye.
Craving: Sour cherries
Making: A chocolate mango ice cream cake for Ules' b-day.
