As always on Saturdays. Actually, more than usual. Too many chores for this old hag in a single day. *sigh*
So, let's see:
- the usual morning rituals with Mum;
- laundry;
- cooking for two days in advance;
- preparing the veggies and the block of hard cheese for freezing (aka grating, pre-cooking and portioning them, respectively);
- taking out the dratted vacuum cleaner to empty it, as we'll have the next cleaning frenzy on Monday.
Still, I managed to write about half a page while the meal was cooking and Luise Sr. the washing machine, was running. And I squeezed in a tiny bit of crafting as well. I've applied the arched windows in all five Hello Kitty bedrooms, together with the curtains - and realized that the nice, round carpets I had made in advance will be way too large. So I'll have to redo them, in a smaller size. The already existing ones will be recycled as slightly bizarre sunflowers on some future cards or whatnot. Nothing gets wasted in this household.
I also had a nice, long chat with my friend Evie, who gave me a thorough report on the current state of her new garden. I'm glad she finds so much delight in gardening; she more than deserves to do something for herself. Not that a lot of other people wouldn't profit from her works, she's a generous soul, but it's good to see her joy over the whole thing.
