Friday 13th December - a day off

 Looking back, the past week has been pretty jam-packed. 

Today I coped with a 90 minute zoom, the first of FOURTEEN between now and SEPTEMBER 2025 


Based on this morning I would rate it as 'survivable', although I think I blotted my copybook when it came to the section on 'you can reward yourself for small victories'. I suggested a reward for having a healthy meal with a chocolate... 

Once I finished the zoom I pretty much clocked off for the day and did zilch, zip and rien. nothing.

Almost. I made some experimental granola biscuits... they need a bit more work; too crumbly. That didn't stop me from enjoying 3 of them. In my defence they are very small.

And a couple of trays of dried orange slices from some rather old oranges left in the fruit bowl. I've only just remembered them, so they've had some extra hours in the oven!


(Slice the oranges thinly, about half a centimetre thick, arrange in a single layer on baking paper and dry out in a cool oven - 90°C - for around 4 hours, turning them over every hour. Apparently they last for months in a screw-top jar. We shall find out in time).

No sewing, knitting, reading, Christmassing today.

  1. You could incorporate them in a beautiful wreath?
