Taking it easi(er)

[wiseheart]

I've finished the songbook page, despite numerous interruptions. I'll grant my fingers a short break, I things. Sewing through up to 5 layers of thick felt and two additional layers of double-sided tape was a painful experience. Maybe I'll do something with paper in the next couple of days - if I find the time. Paper crafts demand a lot more time and working surface.

Not having to cook didn't save me much time. Household chores seem to multiply, and Mum only watches certain programmes on the telly if I, too, watch them with her. Otherwise, she just sits there in her armchair. Unless there are book-keeping to do, of course. That's her great passion... and means I don't have to deal with finances. Double win, as I am hopeless with those.

Mum had a visit from the physiotherapist lady. I'm always reassured when that happens; she'd take notice if something wasn't okay with Mum. So far we've been fortunate. But she'll turn 92 in two weeks' time.

After a longer pleasantly dry period, it started raining again. For now, it's mild rain, so I hope the balcony will hold out. I wish someone would come and fix it at last - we've been waiting for over 3 years already!

That dratted balcony would definitely tick me off!

It ticks me off, too, but there's nothing I can do about it. It would require professionals — who haven't come so far.

The balcony seems to be a neverending story. I hope it'll be fixed sooner rather than later.

Theoretically, miracles can happen. It's just unlikely that they would. :(

Not cooking is always a win. Yesterday I had reheated vegetable and chicken soup, to which I added dumplings. Today I shall have reheated vegetable and chicken soup with noodles. Works for me, particularly as I managed to slice a finger the other day, whilst preparing the soup.

Sounds like our menu. The current soup already had three rounds, and we still have some left for tomorrow.

My fingers hurt just listening to your sewing.

Mine have gotten used to the abuse. :)

Hope your balcony stays dry!
