wiseheartTo all my American friends: Happy Birthday to your country. May you all have a better upcoming year. Actually, we could all use that, can't we?
In the meantime, it's still quite hot over here. We had a short cooler spell in the early afternoon, then temperatures climbed again. *sigh* I stood up at stupid o'clock to do the pharmacy run and the grocery shopping (on 4.5 hours of sleep - I kid you not!). But at least I had a few hours in the morning for myself, which I used to do some successful writing, so I'm not complaining.
We had leftovers for lunch but I still had a bit of kitchen action: made cherry compote, so that Mum could have some cherries, too. She loves them but can't eat them raw; one needs more (and better) teeth for that.
On the crafting front, I made some labels for my ginger syrup bottles, so I wouldn't have to bother with that in November or so when I'm going to make the actual ginger syrup. And in the rest of the day we were both lazing around a bit. As tomorrow is laundry day and Mum wants to change the beds, and on Sunday I'll have to do the third part of the cleaning, a somewhat lazier day was very pleasant.
