This weekend just gone has been one of the wettest around for some years; and I got a lot done!
As I mentioned in the last post, I wanted to get some reading done - and I did. I read a few chapters of 'Wizard and Glass' book 4 of 'The Dark Tower' Series by Stephen King. That was on Friday night, but then on Thursday night, I read a few chapters of 'Dandelion Wine' by Ray Bradbury. These books are total opposites, but both writers are absolute genius' as what they do in this world.
On Saturday, I cleaned out my lounge room. It was great to be able to move around the house again, throw out a rubbish bag and fill up the Donation Box completely. But then, it was also great to put things away too, check the water in the piano (yep, they need it to keep from warping) and I cleaned the coffee table and now, all I have to do is clear the dining table and the place look sweet!
But then, I stumbled upon two recipe books I'm working with. They're lovely books. One book is one Mum bought me where I write down recipes I've created or gotten from people and they are my favourites and the other is one I bought from my craft group and it's more professional-looking. The second one is cut up into sections where you write your recipes down and there's little pockets where you can slot recipes cards that are loose and sitting around - a very nice book in all, something I'd definitely use! So, I'm working with these two books, off and on. Honestly, I really need to get them finished up and put away, they are getting in the way.
Then, I have a recipe book on my tablet. This one is one where I've copied out my recipes from the first book onto an app I scored from the 'Play Store' for free. It's great to have this on my tablet because I can take it anywhere and I have a recipe book at my fingertips without having to be hooked up on the internet - not a bad deal, right? Well, I have to update that 'invisible' recipe book soon as well so I'm not without the needed recipe when I'm on holidays. You never know when I'll need a recipe or two and if it's not on my table, it'll be at home. Just what did we ever do without technology?
Well, I hope you survived the weekend, like I did. I heard that overseas in the USA, there was a huge ice storm and everyone there was trapped at home as much as we were. So, what did you get up to during that time? Until my next post, happy reading.
