The shepherds are done!

We had laundry day, as usual on Saturdays - and a very hot one at that. Apparently, temperatures peaked at 36°C in the capital (where I live), but in some cities down south went as high as 39°C. Fortunately, around 7pm strong winds came up, with a tiny bit of rain, so we can breathe again. Yay!

I was quite crafty today, too. Not only did I the heroic effort of sewing on the spine of the quiet book, I also finished the shepherds. Take a look:



The sheep aren't all of the same fabric because I mostly use scraps left over from the various quiet books for this project (with the exception of the back panels), but I don't think that would be a problem. They won't go to the same owner anyway.

Mum decided that cooking in this heat would be the needful thing to do, so she made Frikadellen (which, I think is the equivalent of meat balls, but I'm not sure) and mashed potatoes. Sometimes I wonder what stuff the woman is made of. Beyond 90, with only one fully functional limb, and she cooks in sweltering heat. Lunch was very yummy, though... and she isn't any worse for the wear than on other days. And I thought Grandma was the tough one!

This also means that tomorrow we'll only have to do minimal cooking, since we'll have leftovers. Perhaps a Tütensuppe of the fruity variation will be in order; those don't even need any cooking, one just stirs the powder into cold milk and puts the finished product into the fridge to chill.

For that, you actually ought to have a microwave. *g*
