Last week another friend of Sarah's, Melissa, dropping into Bloomington for a few days. Of course this meant going ten-pin bowling (I am getting better at this, really!), and in a moment of feeling sophisticated, throwing a 'dinner party'. Well, as sophisticated as okonomiyaki can get, anyway.
Saturday we set off to a place called Louisville to see Sarah's grandfather, who isn't that well, more family, and for Sarah to have a dress fitting. One of her cousins is getting married next month and Sarah is a bridesmaid... lots of fun! I had been warned about the erratic behaviour of Sarah's grandmother (hrm, does everyone have one weird grandmother? I heard Nana was committed the other day, or that might have just been wishful thinking) but I was pleasantly surprised that she seemed to be on good behaviour. Everyone else was surprised too.

We now have a clothesline! Sadly nothing so fancy as a Hills Hoist, but a plastic cord we can string up between the door and the window inside the apartment and dry clothes from. Saves paying a dollar for a load of washing in the dryer...
