wiseheartToday is the 53th anniversary of my grandfather's death. Even after all those decades, I still miss him terribly. Mum and I lit a candle for him and called up some of our favourite memories. Always bittersweet, these moments.
This is as I never saw him: with hair! *g*
Otherwise, it was a simple day. I've made a food run in the morning, buying unreasonable amount of baking supplies aside from the usual necessities. I'm planning to try out new recipes this year and besides, everyone needs an expensive and unhealthy hobby, right?
Today, the sun came out for a couple of hours, so I had a nap in the early afternoon. I love sleeping in sunlight - in this season, when it isn't so harsh and bright. All our windows look to the south-west, so my room was bathed in gold while I slept. It was lovely.
I also finished Chapter 9 of Sleeping Dragons 5, typed up Chapter 8 completely and started on Chapter 10. The original story layout foresees 15 chapters plus an epilogue, so - if the story doesn't spawn any additional chapters, which is known to have happened in the past way too frequently - I've nearly 2/3 parts done. It would be nice to finish this one within the year.
In terms of human contact I had phone chats with my friends Erna and Monica. Thank God (and Alexander Graham Bell) for the phone, otherwise I'd lead a very lonely life!
Right now, I'm collecting Christmas cookie recipes I'd like to try this year. I'm saving them as text files, then turn them into doc files, in which format I print them out and file them in my recipe book. This is fun!
