Slow, slow Saturday

[wiseheart]

So, I finally managed to write the last scene to Chapter 14 of "Magic Mirror" - less than half a page, but at least the chapter of Hell is truly finished. I intended to type up the newly written stuff, but I simply couldn't bring up the energy. *sigh*

Then I worked a bit on drawstring bag #3; more than I actually expected, but it will still need at least another day. More likely two, as I'm particularly slow in these days.

Then I cooked dinner: a chicken breast and mushroom casserole, which was yummy. Alas, the alcohol free Radler (beer and limonade, in this case lemon, black elder and mint) tasted so funny that I couldn't actually drink it. A shame, as I was looking forward to it all morning. Mum found it not so bad and drank her portion, but I just couldn't.

From that moment on, the day deteriorated steadily. I could have slept all afternoon in front of the telly, but it was too hot even for that. Yes, I know it's August, we've had even hotter weather in the previous years, this is the time when it's supposed to be hot. It doesn't mean I have to like it, though.

I totally agree with the last paragraph!

Lemon, elderberry and mint sounds weird - esp. the mint!

Actually, I had lemon and elderberry Radler before, and it was good. I had lemon and mint Radler, too, and that was good as well. I don't know why this mix was so artificial-tasting, but I just couldn't force it down.

Hope it cools down for us all soon. I hate heat.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me, too.

Sounds like a yummy meal, despite the drink. :-)

The drink was a big disappointment. I like this kind of stuff, and the ones I had before were all very yummy.

That's not good! I hope the next one you drink is better.

I won't buy that brand again, ever!

[panda.livejournal.com]

That makes sense!

I struggle when it's too hot. In cold weather you can add more layers of clothes, but in hot weather there's a modesty limit.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

Lemon and mint are sworn enemies.

I dunno, I had Radler with lemon and mint before, and it was yummy. This brand, however...

I'm useless when the weather gets hot. Doubly so when it's that-time-of-the-month! Last week was a rough one for me!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I can imagine! Fortunately, I'm safely beyond that age, but I haven't forgotten how annoying it could be.

I'm getting close to the end myself and I can't wait!

Sorry for all the late replies, been away from the computer for awhile. Your dinner (once again) sounds delicious! Aside from the drink, that is. Not sure how I feel about flavoured beer, whether alcoholic or not. My husband drinks apple cider and I can't develop a taste for it. I do like apple juice, just not with carbonation.
