1. I finished my beanie!
As modeled by the back of
lilacsigil's head:

(Pattern is "Waving to Granny", at Mrs Micawber.)
Next, hopefully, a baby blanket for our locum pharmacist who is expecting in October.
2. Beautiful sunrise this morning - all pink and orange clouds, and a rainbow. Of course, then it rained on me, and my fitball made the passenger seat of the car wet, so I eventually arrived at work with a wet backside. But it was a beautiful sunrise.
3. It rained pretty much all day, and this reminded me to call the plumbers. We want to get a rainwater tank installed before summer, so we can water the garden from it. I'd like to get it in while it's still rainy, so we can stash as much water as possible before it gets hot.
(Note to self: gotta start tomatoes soon!)
4. I had lasagne for lunch today - made with slow cooked beef ragu and roasted vegetables and herbs from our summer crop. It was so good! People from the front of the shop came down to ask what smelled so delicious. We're going to make some more next week, because it was awesome.
5. The Great Australian Bake-Off is lots of fun! I was expecting it to be cringe-worthy, because Australian reality TV is dire, but it's following the British formula and keeping the focus on the cooking. I think I am about one degree of separation from Sara-Jane Smith - she's in Aquaporko, she's queer, and she looks awfully like a fandom-type person. If I don't know her, I'm pretty sure I know someone who does.
Hi Sara-Jane! I'm pretty sure you're out in DW/LJ somewhere! I think you're awesome!

I don't really know Sara Jane, but I talked to her on LJ now and then years ago.
