He wound about a hundred yards of yarn; I only had to rescue it from entanglement five times (from when he started winding in the opposite direction). Overall, kept him occupied for a bit, and no harm done to the yarn (but don't try this with laceweight).
2. Highs are still in the 90s F/low 30s C, but we have nonetheless managed to get our first household cold of the season. Bleah.
3. Today's time sink: Mean Fat Old Bat. Book review blog, mostly romances; first blog in a while that I've found so entertaining that I keep hitting "Older Posts". Recommended.
4. Still gestating assiduously. Approximately 75% through. Still in denial about the fact that there will be a newborn in the house in December. Still hoping to take advantage of one local movie theater's Baby Day -- won't be the optimal environment for seeing Hobbit Part I, but beats not seeing it in the theater at all. (And if Ethelbert runs more than a week late, what better way to invoke Murphy's Law than by trying to see Hobbit in opening week?)
