I haz my telly again!

Service guy was here today and it turned out that the failure was a minor one. He managed to conjure my channels back, in the same quality as before. Which means that some channels are still pixellated beyond what would be still watchable, but that's apparently because of the satellite is having issues or there are atmospheric turbulences or whatnot. Anyway, three channels are actually better than they were, so that's progress. Even if it cost me a pretty penny for about ten minutes of work. But it's the results that count, right?

In other news I've finished the birdie page for Little Emma's quiet book. Beware of the lopsided birdies in eye-watering colours! I still like them though.



I also managed to put away the artificial tree for next year, cook lunch - chicken breast with cauliflower and a cheese sauce, baked over in the oven - and make an inventory of all my felts. Now that another craft shop has closed I needed to know what I actually have and how to ration it until I find a new source.

Right after lunch my friend Evie dropped by to perform our usual, highly suspicious masked exchange in front of our building. She brought me a bag of apples and I gave her some of the cherry tart, so we were both happy.

What I didn't manage today was writing. Again. But it was a busy day, not fit for quiet contemplation of storylines.
