The aftermath of the jam woes

wiseheartThe mutant grapefruit jam (=syrup) was fantastic with the crepes. Still, I'd have preferred actual jam. Ah, well. At least my friend Evie declared herself willing to take one jar, also for crepes/pancakes. Her oldest grandson (age 4) loves those.
Today was mostly crafting day. I've finished the two felt baubles that had been waiting for their hangings all week; and I've made the front panels of all four Heineken Santas (I call them that because they are based on five-pointed red felt stars). I even completed one of those. They'll look very nice on our tree.
Not much else got done today; these small details required a lot of fussy work, and there was crap telly to watch as well. Quiet days can be very relaxing.
Add two phone calls with friends/ex-colleagues, and I really can't complain about the lack of social life, either.
Oh, and we had rain and wind, to which the balcony capitulated, as always. At least my catastrophe prevention measures worked; meaning that the rain water dripped directly into the plastic container as it was supposed to do.
