wiseheartIt started with the runs to the loo at 6 o'clock or so; yeah, another week is over, the cycle starts from the beginning. Meh.
I was so annoyed by the whole thing that I decided to get up in time (originally planned to sleep a little longer, as tomorrow we'll have to get our mourning routine finished before 8 o'clock, since we won't have water until 5 in the afternoon) and packed together Louise (the washing machine) had been airing a bit since Saturday.
Then I started working on the seaming of the first quiet book double page that I had stitched together yesterday. "You don't have to finish it today," I told myself. "Just stitch along a bit as long as you feel like it." And indeed, I did one of the 4 pages before breakfast, which consisted of yogurt, black coffee, toast and a banana. Again.
After breakfast I decided to make apricot jam, before the apricots (bought on Friday) get depressed and rot. This was my first attempt at apricot jam since, oh, I think 1997, when I managed to caramelize it or whatnot - it was quite dark (not that it would do anything to the taste), and I decided never to do it again. But these clever jam fix things make it so easy. So, now we have two jars of home-made apricot jam, after nearly three decades. Yay!
We ate lunch - boiled potatoes, black coffee and a banana - and went for a walk. It is quite hot at the moment, but Mum enjoyed herself nonetheless. Coming back, I thought I'd stitch along a bit more on my seaming... and actually managed to finish the entire thing! I even developed an idea for the next page; we'll see if it will work out or not.
By then I was quite tired, so I decided to play some Solitaire and read some fanfic (again, my own) on my geriatric laptop. In-between, I had a long phone chat with my friend Evie, who's currently looking for a house she might be able to afford, since she has to move out of her home of more than 30 years. I also talked with Ilonka, whose daughter is expecting a baby, and with H., Little Emma's grandmother.
Now I'm back to fanfic and Solitaire, until the re-runs of the GGBO start again. Actually, during lunch we caught half an episode of the Hungarian version, so that was, at least, something we hadn't seen a dozen times before. I wish there were a TV channel with regular sci-fi series on the programme. Because the same boring films that get shown here and there every other week are not worth watching.
