Good Friday

... brought me more kitchen duty, which lasted all morning. Since I'm getting a visitor tomorrow (unless her family interferes), I decided to bake the Easter buns and the Easter cake today. Plus I made the beetroot blinis for lunch. I still have to make the filling for the cake, and the asparagus quiche tomorrow, but I have to pat myself on the shoulder for having done most of the work today.

We also went to church with Mum, which was the longest walk of this year so far. She insist on visiting the "Holy grave" on this day, as it has been a family tradition for three generations, and mustered all her strength and courage to do so. Actually, she mustered her strength and I mustered my courage; as we haven't built up her endurance to a level that would have reassured me, I was mightily nervous. But the higher powers were with us and we managed to trip without problems.

Coming back, I've put up at least some of the Easter decoration - I've never been so far behind schedule before - and did some writing. And now I'm contemplating whether I should make the cake filling tonight, after all. It would be another thing out of my hair, but I'm not sure I'll find the energy to do so.
