Grapefruit jelly - take two
Sep. 5th, 2025 08:09 pmWell, if that isn't a pleasant surprise! The jelly not only set, it didn't melt when I took it out of the fridge and let it stand in the kitchen, either. I wrote the labels, labelled and decorated the mini jars, and now they look like this:

Don't they look cute? The flip side of things is that the camera app of my way-too-smart phone seems to have migrated somewhere where I can't find it. I swear, I didn't do anything to cause it (not that I'd know it); the day before yesterday it was still there. I made the picture through gmail, but I'd love to use my app as I have done for over a year by now. It makes jpg pictures, while the gmail version makes png ones, and I've got my preferences.
Where is a teenager when an old hag needs technical help?
Other than that, I took Mum for a (very short) walk today. Just to the playground right next to our house, where I parked her to watch the toddlers while I want to Lidl. Apparently, one of the little ones came to her and examined her cane with great interest. *g* She had fun, but complained about the heat and about aching joints. We definitely need to go out more often to keep her in form.
I also processed all my differently-coloured pieces of tinfoil that will become Christmas tree garlands, and I finished one more pillow case. Since the outing with Mum basically took the whole morning, that was the most I could manage today.
