I watched a fabulous documentary called In Search of Lost Colour: the Story of Natural Dyes produced by Maiwa. The history of colour is fascinating and I am amazed how much culture and ethnobotanical practise has been lost by the invention of synthetic dyes.
I just finished a classic Ngaio Marsh mystery: Clutch of Constables. I think it's actually more interesting than the others in the series I've read because of the focus on Troy Allen as opposed to her husband.
I'm sad that summer vacation is half over. Feeling very blue today and out of sorts.
