Hectic Friday

[wiseheart]

Today 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. ;)

Lots of baking planned ...
Not something I'll do the next few days because we are forecast 37° for tomorrow!

It is very warm over here, too, and you can't even open the windows properly because of the strong wind... which didn't really help with the temperatures. So I'm planning to do my baking in the early morning.

Your baking sounds delicious!
Somehow I always manage to forget something when I shop for groceries. We now get groceries home delivered since The Plague, but it’s always better to buy fruit and veg in person. If I remember all the items on my list…

That sounds like my kind of social get-together. Just sit me in a corner, with a plate. :D

Oh dear, that's a lot of baking you have planned! Do we get to hear snippets of the choir concert?

Cherries always make me think of my mother, fresh ones were the highlight of the summer for her, and we always got her some when we saw them in the shops, although they were always expensive as I don't know anyone who actually grows them on-island.

I am so glad that your Mum can share the concert, and your baking session all sounds delicious.

Baking is always good. ;)

Don't I know it! I even manage to forget things that are on my written list!

Any time! :)

As soon as someone manages to upload it to the drive, so that I can download a copy. I don't know how to upload anything from a DVD, I'm afraid.

I'm happy about that, too. She was very disheartened to miss the live event.

Wow, that sounds like an amazing lot of stuff you're making, and there's something for everyone. :)

True, but when two have lactose intolerance, one is a vegetarian and there'll also be an energetic almost-to-year-old who needs food that won't fill the entire flat with crumbles, the host has to be versatile. *g*

Sounds amazing!

I am always amazed at your baking talents!
