Slave labour and a new project
I've done the bigger half of the monstre cleaning and am accordingly dead now.
But I've also started a new craft project in the afternoon, deciding to give these little baskets a try:

I've prepared the eight panels the body of the basket will be made of and am looking forward with a sense of dread to the actual weaving part. I was never good at that sort of stuff. But If I actually manage, I'll make the little baskets without a handle, so that I can put little cellophane bags of home-made goodies into them and sell them at the Christmas fair. So I'll have ample time to practice. *g*
Nothing worth mentioning happened today. Temperatures went up to 31 degrees in the afternoon, but the flat is still pleasantly cool, thank the insulation. How long it will hold out is another matter entirely, of course, but we enjoy the not being cooked alive part for the time being.
