lots of big pillows required

i've decided that i want to start falling asleep in luxury. why not?

i spent the rest of the afternoon reading, then went with the kid and our neighbour for ice-cream.

our neighbour was complaining about "slow-motion", and i ignored that until i realized that we hadn't moved at all up the line... the girl serving really was moving that slowly. everyone impolitely began suggesting an increase in frame rate, but she was more concerned in getting everything *just* right.

once we got back the kid and i finished up the basic mechanisms for the project we've been doing, and it's now back to the routine for a couple of days...
