Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Yesterday I sent off the Sock Ministry parcel, paid with a card at the PO, and got a bit of cash back to take to the farm for a second strawberry attempt.
At the stand was another would-be shopper finding she didn't have enough cash. Like me she looked at a credit card use, then saw the $20 minimum and didn't!
Anyway I had $10 which was $8, ouch, for strawberries and $2 left. I saw basil packs marked $2, perfect. Then the nice kid at the counter asked if I wanted the whole four pack. Turns out it's $8 per four pack, $2 per plant in the pack. Last time I bought four packs the marked price was the pack and $2-3 is the usual range I do like to support my local farmer, but not be exploited.
So one box of strawberries this year, basil elsewhere. This is the whole box
And lunch, with dessert, custard pudding decorated with fresh strawberries.
Meanwhile Gary's back home with a lovely new toy
Beemer convertible, high performance car. He used to have beemers long ago, before children, and now he's revisiting them. He plans on a year of fun before trading for a bigger car to include grandchildren.
And weaving is moving right along.
I'm in a rhythm now, moving faster, better fabric, better selvedges.
And while I was upstairs weaving, my Misfits box arrived
Soon I'm making a shrimp curry, and various other good things. The blueberry spinach filled pita breakfasts only involve assembly.
Good things to come!
Happy day everyone, you up for a puzzle?
Enjoy your puzzles, toys and food!
