The week of woes - Day Two

[wiseheart]

I put the necessity of getting up early due to the water situation to good use and went to the market today. I wanted to buy some raspberries and red currants, since they are simply beyond my budget in the supermarket. I was lucky, I got both for a price that, while not exactly low, I could still afford. Therefore there will be red currant jam in the making tomorrow; I need it for the Christmas baking, and you simply can't buy it anywhere in this country. I froze a good half of the raspberries; the rest we'll simply eat.

We had a visit from the physiotherapist lady, who is great fun to be with, so Mum is in a good mood. I managed a tiny bit of writing - less than a page, really, but still progress -, worked a bit on the quiet book inner binding and cut out a few more pieces for the Christmas felt project. The latter promises to be an ongoing activity, as these little Nativity scenes require an ungodly amount of detail, so I decided to start early. Oh, the joy when all I'll have to do is to sew together the pieces!

All in all, I had a most successful day!

Yes, they are a berry fruit — a delicious one. See here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcurrant)!
