Snowflake finished yesterday. I didn't do many challenges but had a blast modding again. I enjoyed going to journals and commenting on the stuff I normally wouldn't see. Fandom does have issues at times but also has a hell of a lot of happiness and interesting things going on. So, yay Snowflake! Yay fans!

If you're interested there is a friending meme going on here you can check out.

James is feeling better, which you can tell as he's back playing with his lathe again. He's made miniature wooden mushrooms so far and earlier came downstairs with a small wooden bowl, which is very cool. He's also getting interested in different kinds of wood and gets this gleam in his eyes as we pass trees like he's assessing the possibility of whipping off a branch. It's interesting, but I now know more about wood and the various hardness of said wood than I ever expected to know. And yes, I know what that sounds like. Get your minds out of the gutter.

Yesterday we went to see A Man Called Otto, I haven't read the book or seen the original film but I liked it. It had faults and the plot was obvious a mile off and it made me cry multiple times but I never looked at my watch once which I always see as a good sign.

I had to laugh at your commentary on James' new found obsession with the relative hardnessess of wood, but I'm sure he's going to make such lovely lovely things - wooden bowls can feel so pleasing and comfortable. Glad he's feeling a bit better now.

It feels impossible to talk about wood and its hardness without feeling I'm throwing out all kinds of innuendo. But yeah, I now know lots about wood hardness *g*

You're right though, the wooden bowl feels so incredibly tactile and that's without fine sanding. I was pleased when he headed back to the craft room as it's always a good sign when he's up to more than sleeping.
