On Sunday, I took some time out of my busy HAED schedule (haha, yeah right, I didn't even do any on Saturday!), and went to my colleague's house for tea. He had baked scones, and invited us all over to eat them. They were truly yummy, warm from the oven with cream and strawberries and jam. Yumm!

The TV was on in the background so that we could catch the F1 race, which was in Malaysia. I've been a Ferrari supporter for years, mainly due to Michael Schumacher, but now, I'm indifferent. I just know that I'd prefer any team other than McLaren to win! Anyway, we were all hoping for rain, because rain makes it more interesting. But you'd better be careful what you wish for...

Halfway through the race, it started raining, and we were all happy. BUT...it turned out into a "torrential downpour" according to the newspapers today.



That's Jenson Button in front, look at how bad visibility was! Anyway, I hoped that it wouldn't rain too heavily, otherwise the race would be suspended, and what do you know...a few laps later, the race was stopped. They were waiting until the rain got lighter to resume the race, but one hour later, the rain was lighter, but the sky was getting darker! And that was the end of the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix race, over after 30 laps or so. Apparently it was the first time since the early 90s that a race was stopped due to rain.

Well, that's what the Formula One committee gets, for wanting to postpone the race till later so that the Europeans can watch it. They should know that it's monsoon season, and bound to rain that heavily in the evenings. The race used to be at 3pm local time, but got pushed back to 5pm for this reason. And just look what happened. :D

Stitching-wise, it's been a good week for me. Although perhaps not as good as some people would think, it's good to me! I've been reading this other HAED blog for inspiration. Some of them can do hundreds of stitches in one night, and over a thousand during the weekend! For me, 200 would be considered a lot in one night. Haha, after reaching a certain number, I just want to put my HAED down and read a book, or play PS2. So, here's my progress thus far.



I think I "should" be able to finish this page by the end of the week, otherwise it'll definitely be done by the next update. Wish me luck! All those fiddly stitches around the wings are really killing me....
