Hectic Friday
Jun. 17th, 2022 07:24 pmToday I ventured to the Savoy Park (mini) shopping centre to make a food run and fetch Mum's medicine. Sadly, I've miscalculated and didn't buy enough bread to last until Tuesday, which was the planned day for the next such adventure. Crap. But stupid is as stupid does, right?
Coming home, I put together the salad that was our lunch with Butterbrot and Wiener Würstchen and did a bit of sewing. Then my friend Evie arrived, bringing us beautiful fresh cherries from her own garden, and we had a nice, long gossiping session. When she left, we had lunch and I did some more sewing.
Now I've got 7 Big Fish(TM), in various stages of readiness - aside from the prototype, of course. Some already have their scales and eyes sewn on, others only the heart-shaped applique on their tails. The fins are all done and only need to be sewn on. When all 7 reach the same stage, comes the really difficult part: the mouths. But I have no deadline for this project, I'm only doing it for fun.
Later on my friend Eenie dropped by, bringing me a DVD with her hubby's recording of the concert. The quality isn't exactly HD, but we are more or less recognizable, and the singing sounds clean, which is what counts. Tomorrow Mum and I are going to have our private little concert in front of the computer screen.
Tomorrow and the day after there will be baking sessions for the little social get-together on Monday. I'm planning to make little coconut-cashew balls, banana cookies, cheesy buns, little cubes of spinach crepes, a fruit tart with chocolate pudding and cherries and perhaps even some mini tuna pizzas. We'll see how much I actually manage to get done. ;)
