More fair preparations

wiseheartLast night I've emptied and cleaned all the wee jars containing the expired jam and the likes, and this morning I sacrificed one big jar of not-quite-grapefruit-jam to refill them. I'm sorry to say that heating up the jam and adding more sugar and lemon juice and gelatin didn't help; if possible, it's even more liquid than before. But I added a few cubes of crystalized ginger to each little jar and prettied them up (and besides, the not-quite-jam still tastes fantastic), so I hope they'll sell on the fair nonetheless. *fingers crossed*
Here they are, all 12 of them:
Writing-wise it was a good day, too: I've managed to rewrite the important scene in a satisfying manner and round it up properly. Now I'll have to make thoughts about how to get over to the next scene.
We had various outside visitors today. First a man came from the firm that will make the walk-in bathtub, to measure our bath and finalize the assignment. We'll get a bench over the tub, a handhold (or whatever it's called in English) installed to the wall, a new front panel for the tub and even a new pipe for the washing machine. It will cost a pretty penny (a month and a half's worth of my pension, in fact), but it will be worth it. After nearly three years, poor Mum finally will be able to take a shower again.
The exterminator also came. We have no bug problem, thankfully; this is a preventive measure, done four times a year. Of course, it also means we had to free all the zones where the bug spray will go - and we just had put everything back to its place on Monday! *sigh*
Then my friend Evie called, and we chatted on the phone for more than an hour. So, all in all, a round and eventful day. :)
