... because today was really stifling. We had rain in the late morning - roughly five and a half drops of it only enough for making the air not just hot but humid like hell, too. We were accordingly dead in the afternoon. I tried to watch some ST-Enterprise DVDs but had to realize that I got terribly spoiled by Mum's (fairly simple and cheap) digital TV. Compared with that, my 30-year-old, analog Samsung produces rather blurred images - it never bothered me before, but after having watched razor sharp digital pictures for the last three years, it was a bit disappointing.
Writing goes forward in small steps, but at least it does go forward. The only problem is that I'm working on a chapter that won't come into play before three entire units get done. But I have to progress as the muses steer me. *sigh*
Crafting-wise I've finished another embroidered card, a rather simple Nativity scene. I didn't even mess up the pattern (too much). When the third prepared design is done, I'll take a group photo.
I've talked on the phone with Heidi and my friends Ilonka and Evie. That was nice. So, there were some good things even on a suffocating day like this.
