More Easter stuff

wiseheartIt's boring and pointless. If you still wanna read it, don't complain afterwards. *g*
Yesterday no self-respecting Catholic - not even the renegade sort like myself - was supposed to eat meat, so I made spinach crépes instead. They were excellent; Mum and I seriously overstuffed ourselves. Not exactly the point in fasting, but who cares?
Today, we absolved the cemetery programme again. It tells a lot of our social life if you consider that the only people we regularly visit are my dead grandparents, eh? We cleaned up the grave a bit and put a big bouquet of tulips on it. It looked very pretty. Really spring-like. So we bought another bouquet for ourselves. It stands in the kitchen now.
We tried the Easter ham for lunch. Even though I accidentally rubbed it with black pepper instead of cumin, it turned out fantastic. Then I hung up the hand-painted eggshells in the entire flat and coloured some eggs for the festive table. We also ate half of my bunny-shaped biscuits, they were delicious.
Tomorrow, more cooking is on the plan, plus I have to finally bake the raisin bread. It's a good thing that I've already finished "Trial Without Error". I wish I had a beta for it, as I suspect I went creative with the frigging English grammar again, but the only person I could ask is busy, and I don't exactly have volunteers standing queue at my front door.
I even went to the atlantis beta LJ community, hoping to find someone, but the self-important people over there are only willing to do certain kind of stories, and my stuff is a)hard to put into any single category, and b) is anti-Sheppard and Kavanagh-friendly - neither of those things are very popular in mainstream fandom.
Oh, and BTW, I finally got to watch "I, Robot" with Will Smith. I wasn't impressed. It seems to me that nowadays everything vaguely connected to sci-fi contains overdone special effects, a lame storyline and bad acting.
