Busy day - no writing, though
Oct. 20th, 2012 09:36 pmBut at least this time the depression wasn't the culprit. Mum and I were doing domestic stuff.
First of all, my late birthday-early Christmas shinies have arrived from the wonderful and way too generous![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lhun_dweller: 4 books of the Star Trek DS9 relaunch series. Of course, the postal service chose the only time both Mum and I were away to deliver them, so I had to go to the postal office to fetch them. Which I did, first thing in the morning.
Then we went to the cemetery, because October 17 was my grandfather's birthday. We couldn't go on the day as I spent it entirely at school (Wednesdays tend to be like that), but today was better weather anyway.
Then we went to do the shopping for the 4-day national holiday, which is always a battle of epic proportions, as most Hungarians firmly believe that they would starve to death, together with their families, when the shops are closed on an additional day. So we fought the battle valiantly, even went to two different hobby artist shops because I wanted to see what was available. The offer was fantastic, but way beyond what I'd be willing to spend on a hobby, so we just looked.
Afterwards, we came home, had an impromptu lunch, and as there was nothing on the telly (as usual), I started reading "Mission Gamma - Book Four: Lesser Evil". I nearly went through the book in one sitting, but then I remembered that I had intended to bake and even thawed out some of the ingredients.
So I went to the kitchen and produced an apple-cheesecake in, oh three hours or so. It's done now, waiting to cool, so that we can give it a quality test. It's likely that the filling would be too soft - I put way too much apples into it, apparently - but it doesn't matter. We can always eat it with a spoon, right out of the baking tin. *g*
In the rest of the evening, I did some research re: the original "A Study in Scarlet" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, b/c I want to go a different way with the "Ginger" version of "A Study in Pink" - with an emphasis on the original, rather than the TV episode (either version of it).
All in all, a productive day, I'd say. Now I'll read some Sherlock fanfic before returning to "Mission Gamma". :)
