Easter Monday
Apr. 18th, 2022 07:07 pm... was quiet again. I worked a great deal on The Thing of Beauty and managed to finish all the actual pages, even though I had to re-do one because the paper got fatty fingerprints on it. I forgot that I must not touch my face while doing paper crafts - scratching my forehead in deep thought once was enough to ruin the work of roughly 40 minutes!
The second version of the page isn't bad, but the first one - the one I ruined - was so much better. I nearly cried in anger. But it is finished now, which means I can attack the binding part next. That will be another stressful phase, but I hope I'll be able to do it properly. The fact that I've done it at least half a dozen times won't help a bit, I'm afraid.
Other than that, not much happened. I've written another scene to "Kindred Spirits" and hope by God that I'll be able to finish this sucker in the foreseeable future. I even typed up everything I wrote today, so I'm quite content with my progress.
We ate leftovers again - Easter ham, the never-ending couscous and the Spiegeleikuchen for lunch and more of the Guglhupf for breakfast - I talked to my friend Evie on the phone for at least half an hour and had a nap in the afternoon. Now that the TV gods decided that they've had enough Easter festivities, there will be re-runs of the GGBO and the Great Australian Bake-Off tonight again. Yay for shared TV-time with Mum!
