Time truly is relative, isn't it?

Not only that it seems to fly by faster and faster the older one gets, my addled old brain mixes up the days of the week, too. I got up today, mourning that it's Friday already, that the week is almost over, and that I haven't managed half the things I had originally intended...

... only to realize (about half an hour later) that it was still Thursday! Silly me! Not that I'd have managed too much anyway. I seem to get less and less effective with each passing day. As I've repeatedly stated, getting old isn't for wimps! *sigh*

I worked a bit on seaming the first double pages of the quiet book. 1/4 of the seaming is now done, and I'm developing blisters on my fingertips. But the show must go on. I've somehow misplaced my thimble (not that it wasn't way too small for my sausage fingers to begin with), so now I use the desktop to push the needle through the multiple layers of hard felt. Grrr! I'm so angry that the idea with the simple blanket stitch edging didn't work out! Cross grain ribbon is a real pain to work with.

Anyway, we had leftover tomato soup and the last piece of that whole orange cake for lunch, plus Mum volunteered to make a potato casserole (because our potatoes were starting to get wrinkles and needed to be used up), so I didn't have too cook. I talked with H. on the phone, and with my friend Evie, solved a few crossword puzzles and have been watching Neil Sean's vids on YouTube. Soon, there will be time for GBBO re-runs to round up the day.

Haha, I wish it was Friday already, then I wouldn't have to work tomorrow! 😁😁😁

lmao and when I read this I had an IT IS THURSDAY ALREADY?!!! moment since I had apparently been living in denial of that fact, idk

Orange cake and tomato soup sounds like a delicious lunch.

Oddly I had the same thought about it being Friday when I got up, too.

Three years ago I'd have said the same. ;))

Well, we had Kartoffelauflauf, too!

Is 'cross grain' binding the same thing we call 'bias binding' here. It's ready folded cotton tape that has been cut diagonally on the grain? I have the same trouble finding big enough thimble's too. I rarely use one because of that, and end up digging holes in the end of my 'pushing' finger.

Oh dear, we pensioners will be running out of time, if we continue this way! I had a look at the dailies around midday, because husband´s buying schedule seemed odd for a Friday. Only then I realised I was one day ahead...

As we say in Hungarian: when great spirits meet...

I assume it is a same, yes. I looked up the word in an online dictionary. And yeah, I'm having holes in the end of my pushing finger, too. At some point I had to push the needle through six or seven layers, hard felt and double-sided tape. It was such fun — NOT!

I wonder how did we have so much time for everything while still working full-time?

I had a nonsensical conversation with my Mum nurse on Wednesday because I thought we were on Tuesday! So I feel you there!

It's hard to keep up with the passing of days. While I was still working, I could at least look up on the timetable which day we had.

Sewing the binding sounds like torture! I've sewn stuff where you have to push the needle through with help — swore I would never do it again — famous last words, heheh. But in your case, your books always come out lovely, so it will be so worth it.
