Grateful 5
The usual things to be grateful for list:
1. Sunscreen! Mowed the lawn this morning and it was *really* hot and sunny out. But I didn't get burned, even if I got sweaty.
2. Friends unexpectedly bringing a veggie terrine with them for dinner. We added some non-veggie burgers and it was yum.
3. Epic game of Munchkin Cthulu. Lots of fun!
4. Learning when gooseberries are ripe and trying one off the bush in the year. Not tart, so it was ready! Now, the rest of those berries have to hurry up (there was only one ripe one, haha). I really like having something we can eat from in our yard.
5. Having candles around the house for when the power went out unexpectedly, and having a garage-door manual override. And that we didn't need the electric appliances to make food so we could finish eating.
Extras:
- Awesome neighbours who have tools and expertise we can 'borrow'. Today was a stud finder. Sunil hung a mirror that we'd had for months.
- remembering to prep veggies for tomorrow. A little for Sunny and a bigger one for me. Also packed some Indian bean dish (with things that look like chickpeas only darker), hummus, and some blueberries.
- sleeping in! Kitty snuggles and hubby snuggles. Having air conditioning.
- remembering to post on groups about needing models for a yukata fashion show.
- good traffic for driving friends home
- getting back into a comic I'd stopped reading some time ago, and even in the pondering of making a character's outfit, coming across an opening page that basically shows her closet - all the pieces of her outfit separately, hanging behind her. So, naturally, I screencapped the image (reading on my phone) for the cosplay wishlist
