Okay, first and foremost let me tell you that this year's party was fantastic! We had 1283 comments on 7 pages, despite the fact that only a few faithful friends attended. And it wasn't even really about numbers - it was the fun we had, the wonderful discussions, the new things we learned about each other... heart-warming is probably the best word for it. So, thank you, ladies, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_ea, who even woke up from his LJ-slumber to join us.
The party closed at midnight, on Thursday, and on Friday I had to spend the whole day at work, so I was properly hung over today. Mum and I crawled out of bed at 10 in the morning, finished breakfast shortly before 11, and then I decided that since the weather was so beautiful, I'd do some more card-stitching, using the natural light. I tried a pattern that seemed fairly simple: a little angel - and spent all morning and most of the afternoon on it. It was all those little swirls wings and the bottom of the angel's gown, and the tiny stars scattered all over it... Anyway, it was a gargantuan effort, but I am happy with the results.
Then I decided to put the leftover kifli (a special sort of bedroll we have over here) and apples to good use and make máglyarakás (bonfire stack) of them. That took another two, two and a half hours, but at least we'll have something for lunch tomorrow. I made it a bit differently than the recipe I linked, but this was the only one I found on the Net in English, and this is as good as mine, I guess. Just let me tell you a secret: a thin layer of grated walnuts between the bread and the apple layer makes it even more fantastic. I didn't have walnuts at home today, but it turned out well enough nonetheless.
Then I remembered that it's time for the weekly "Adventures" update. So here it is: Part 89 - Distraction is the Better Part of Valor has been posted to FF.Net and to the 13th_sherlock DW comm. This is the penultimate chapter of the 2nd Interlude; after that, the series will go on a hiatus, because writing the next arc will be very difficult.
So, this was, basically, my hungover day. Tomorrow, I'll try to work some more on the next part of Kansas 2 - I was just too lazy today.
