I have finally bitten the bullet and
ordered a set of postal scales. It is
something which I have been meaning to do for ages. When I left my ex’s office I took with me the
postal scales from there, assuming that he would never use them, but he noticed
that they were gone and asked for them back.
I need to be able to weigh fibre to a
fraction of an ounce and my kitchen scales are inadequate to do that. I could have got a set from the local
OfficeWorks but could only buy them from their online store - not from the store itself - and couriers can
never find my apartment, so going online, overseas and having them posted was
oddly enough a safer option.
I have finished spinning the first two
plaits of Rosewood and will ply the two filled bobbins this evening. It was this which prompted me to order the
scales; I spun half of each plait onto each bobbin to try to keep the colours
from mixing up too much but was unsure with the second plait which half should
go on which bobbin because one looked to have more on it than the other and I
couldn’t tell with the second stripped plait which half was the biggest so I
sort of had to second-guess and there looks to still be more on one bobbin than
the other.
An old school friend phoned me this morning
to say that she was off to Iran and places north and she knew that I like
wearing Muslim clothes and wondered if I had any which she could borrow. As I now dress á la Claremont Quarter most of
my Islamic clothing was waiting to be posted into a charity bin so she has taken
most of it and any which she doesn’t use she will dispose of, which is a win
for both of us.
