Second time lucky

So, Mum has successfully recovered from her upset stomach, therefore we ate the yummy food from yesterday with delight. Well... half of it, which means I won't have to cook tomorrow, either. Always a good thing in my books.

I've spent enough time in the kitchen anyway. I've made the vanilla slices (or whatever they are called in English: they are simply vanilla custard between two layers of puff pastry; I just added the strawberries)and grated the zucchinis to freeze them - that took me the greater part of the morning. We also had laundry day, this being Saturday, so I didn't have time to get bored.

I still managed to squeeze in half an hour of crafty time first thing in the morning (as I knew it would be hopeless later). I've made the page bases for the last two baby book pages. I'm still not sure about the design; not only for those two pages, but also for the inside of the back cover. I'd love to make something really fancy but I have the feeling that they won't turn out like that. I'm just too tired all the time; not so much physically as rather mentally, and that has a detrimental effect on creativity.

The weather remains crazy. It is generally warm, but we have at least one thunderstorm a day, with heavy rain and strong winds. The balcony doesn't stand a chance. Thank god, my self-made catastrophe prevention (in the form of strategically placed tinfoil sheets, a sponge and a plastic bucket) is still working beautifully. I had three fingers high water in the bucket in the morning. Having that on the floor wouldn't have been fun.*sigh*
