Most indulgent weekend ever. And it's not technically over yet either. Salmon with Anna P on Thursday night for dinner, then came up here to Mum and Dad's on Friday and had salmon again, freaking Oakbank on Saturday which is full-on from breakfast* at arse-am through lunch** and finally to the cheese platter around the time of the last race, Easter lunch*** at my aunt's in Goolwa annnnd 'leftovers****' from Oakbank coming up for dinner tonight. Homg.
Today has been spent watching
Sherlock with Mum. We've just finished the last of them. We reckon Molly's got something to do with it, oh yes. We haven't figured out how, tho.
Also I finished a chapter, woooooo. I hate writing setup chapters. They feel like nothing's happening. I love reading them for the anticipation, but writing them... takes too long. Want things happening now plskthx. Will things happen this chapter? We'll see. I'm not entirely positive how I want to write it. Either Nol's or 'May's perspective but I don't know. I may write it from both and just see which works better.
Um. Footy is kind of awesome right now. I say kind of because, despite the icon, I am technically not the 19th man this year (yay saving money for house. God I'm boring) but my boys haven't dropped a game yet. Also my
Porpoise is back oh god look at his arms. I'VE MISSED YOOOOOOU PLEASE DON'T GET INJURED AGAIN <3 I realise now how much I've missed footy over the summer, too. Man footy players have sexy arms 8D
I keep wanting to give myself a drawing challenge, but Photoshop is playing funny buggers. Needs moar RAM. I think. Maybe I should just do a drawing challenge with real media. I know. How long's it been? But yeah. Basically I have all these photos saved of 'this could be the Ni-Yana markets/a Llayan highland castle/a Kazinian palace' and I kinda want to have a shot at speed-painting them for atmosphere's sake, get a collection of images together so I can say THIS is Raykin, THIS is tropical Kazin, THIS is a Tsaythi trade cog. Also, my environment drawing skills are pretty much non-existent and I'd like to change that. We'll see where that goes.
For the moment, back to the writings :D
Here have an awesome curvy cello.
* Caviar was involved. As in, the real beluga shit. JAssldjgahsj this mob doesn't do things by halves, I tell you what. Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and a full spoon of the real deal caviar which, if such a thing were purchasable in Australia, would have been at least $80 per plate. Clearly then, not purchased in Australia.
** Entree of Greek pastry thing I forget the name of, mains of filet mignon barbecued by Dad with four AWESOME sauces made by Mum and grapefruit/pistachio/watercress/pear salad by me and dessert of three fruit tarts. That were bought from a shop. I find this a cop-out after the first couple bought us all freaking CAVIAR.
*** Scallops for entree, slow roast lamb and veggies for mains and dessert of chocolate and maccadamia brownie and a chocolate ganache and peanut tart.
**** Four filets weren't required due to no-shows. I know. Who the hell doesn't show up for a day like that?
