Today’s post is both for Karen<\/a>‘s Weekending update and for Carole<\/a>‘s Ten on Tuesday round-up:<\/p>\n

I had a relaxing Memorial Day weekend:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I sat outside for four sunsets in a row. (This looks more light than it actually was.)<\/li>\n

    \"Rudi<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n
  2. I progressed on my knitting after a few setbacks. Sometimes reading the pattern carefully helps: For instance, did you know that row 101 is not the same as row 1? Or that put a yarn over in between two picked up stitches is not the same as put a yarn over every two picked up stitches. On to the lace edging!<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. I finished one book and put some serious mileage into a second one, which I picked up on my trip to the library Saturday.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. I blew a lot of bubbles. Sometimes there were children around to enjoy them. Other times they were just for me.<\/li>\n

    \"Bubbles<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n
  5. I made strawberry fool for dessert.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Rudi and I went swimming at the local outdoor pool, which opened for the season this weekend.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. I took myself out for teatime at a new-to-me cafe along the waterfront. They have streetside garage doors that roll up and tasty French desserts.<\/li>\n

    \"Just<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n
  8. I listened to a Beach Boys cover band and picnicked with friends by the river.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. I watched a couple stages of the Giro with Rudi and finished my first cycling challenge of the spring (30 miles in 30 days).<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Rudi and I harvested the first strawberries from our garden. We ate the initial two on the spot.<\/li>\n
