So, today was busy again. I went food shopping: partly for our immediate needs (i.e. bread, milk, yogurt and cold cuts), partly in preparation for Mum's birthday party. Canned pineapples and sardines can wait just as well in our kitchen cupboard as in the supermarket itself, right?
( Shopping adventures behind the cut - for length )
In any case, I came home quite late (the crowd in the supermarkets was really thick), so we had breakfast at lunchtime and only ate leftover soup and the rest of the rubber rolls two hours later. *g*
On the crafting front, I was fairly successful. All nine planets of the solar system are cut out and fixed to the page base - including Pluto. Yes, I know that the poor ball of frozen rock has officially been degraded into planetoid status, but when I went to school it counted as a planet, and I'm not the kind of person who'd turn my back on old acquaintances, just because they've lost their former status. In my book Pluto remains a planet. So there!
Seven of the nine planets are sewn on, although some colouring is still to be done. I've dug out an astronomy book for dummies and checked the colour schemata, so I hope it will match, at least roughly. I intend to finish this page somewhen next week, even though for tomorrow a big kitchen experiment is planned, and for Monday the usual cleaning frenzy is scheduled. We'll see.
