Domestic stuff, light and dark

[wiseheart]

One of my former classmates of ten years died in December from brain aneurysm... whatever it is. *looks at ithilwen hopelessly*

She was a teacher, too. She went to work one day, like always, and within the hour, she was dead. Just like that. The e-mail announcing her funeral haven't even reached me. I'v only learned about it three days ago. Well... it seems it's our turn now.

On a lighter note, I've baked walnut muffins with apples and cranberries yesterday. It's a recipe I found in the book "Muffins and Pogatchas" I got from Mum for my birthday... and it's fantastic! I'm determined to try out all recepies without coconuts, poppy seeds and dates, which we both hate. The rest lookes very promising.

Got back to work on "The Web of Darkness" a bit. I so hope to finish that story, soon. Before I end like my classmate one day, leaving a huge backlash of unfinished stories behind.

Thanks, Jillian. We have completely lost contact during the recent decades, but it's still something of a shock. As if part of my childhood would suddenly have gone missing.

It's as if the people you went to school with are still young and in the school yard playing, isn't it?
I've lost 2 people I went to school with, both, sadly, by their own hands. That is an even bigger shock:(

It is indeed. I can understand that things sometims become too much, but still, it's such a radical solution - and an irreversible one.

Thanks for the prezzie, BTW - Mum was so happy with the sweets. She said: "Well, I don't speak English, I wouldn't understand any books or so, but the biscuits are really delicious." As you can see, we both have something of a sweet tooth. *g*

I like the music very much, too.
