I had lunch, and then I did the washing-up and hung up clothes from the washing-machine and made carrot and coriander soup (carrots from the last two vegetable box deliveries, coriander from Tattie Shaws this morning). And I baked herb scones (fresh herbs from the garden, just a touch of garlic Arran cheddar). Which were delicious. And I made more dwarf bread, which is rising now. And chatted with Mike. (He admitted to giving conversations marks out of 10, which I could see would get irritating if one did it regularly, or at least admitted to it, but yes...)

And I updated the post on Obama's DoJ anti-marriage memo - which turns out to be by a Bush administration holdover, what a surprise.

Also it occurred to me that I could make the A Week in the Life photomeme an annual event: starting either Tuesday (exactly a year) or Monday (to make it a calendar week). So I might do that.

But also I wanted to make a set of links to Leonard Cohen music videos on Daily Motion.
