Small tasks today
Oct. 23rd, 2023 08:04 pmI took down the washing. Now that we've got some minimal heating, it dries a lot faster, thank God.
I've picked up Evie's felt songbook again and finished the three crows that had been pending for months. Now all finger puppets are done and I can continue with the actual book. Nearly all major background parts are cut out and even partially sewn on, but there's still a lot to do. At least I won't have to procrastinate about the design, unlike with the Christmas quiet book.
I also cut up a lot of old, once-used Christmas wrapping paper for 56 more surprise boxes. I hope I'll be able to fill them all. My (also retired) colleague, Ilike, is currently decluttering her house and promised me to hand over all Christmassy stuff that can be forced into an empty toilet roll. *g*
I then made lunch: Spargelsuppe aus der Tüte and boiled pasta with cheese. We still had most of the banana bread I baked yesterday - one half is also left for tomorrow, with half the remaining soup or pasta. Which is a good thing because tomorrow I won't have time to waste with cooking. Not such mundane things as lunch anyway. The next big action will be grapefruit marmalade. *g*
