Woke up not tired, so that is great. Missing the children today.
Erik had another amazing day mountain-biking on Mount Tam. Rode a 35km circuit up the mountain and down the other side, then up the famous Eldridge Grade to the top and back down the way we came.
Learned what "technical firebreak roads" look like...incredibly rocky and lots of opportunities for serious crashes. Managed it all, exhausted but crash-free.
I did what I do best ... I went shopping in Berkley with Denise. Nice not to have to drive today. Found some more fabric, but no jelly rolls.
Started my collection of napkin rings, a pewter fish, and a brass leaf. Discovered some Finnish Fabric that I want to make the napkins out of. It was heavily discounted from $US45.00 per yard down to $3.95 yard. A bargain.
Denise is a wonderful guide, and I appreciated her assistance today. Had lunch at Bette's, a small diner. Had a Cuban, which is bascially a ham and cheese filled roll, toasted. Very yum. Denise had a Lox roll, which had salmon and cream cheese.
Weird at this time of year, but found a bat cookie cutter, pumpkin cookie cutter, and some halloween templates. Perfect.

Still looking for toys for the children, but Lego is the same price in US$ as NZ$ so no luck. Found some Christmas decorations 50% off, so got some, and also some small sockettes, to make an advent calender with next year. Found some linen for the childrens' beds, - a zebra print, "My Little Pony" and "Star Wars".
Also found an "all over hole punch" with snowflakes. I would like to make some lumineries next winter with it.
Bought perfume for Gina, and discovered a perfume called "Gina". Top notes: pink pepper, bergamot, tangerine. Middle notes: peony, wild raspberry, white lily, and Base notes: patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla - I like it.
Soup for dinner, and an early night for Erik, for some reason he is quite exhausted, something about riding up 2 major mountain hills today.
