Boxing Day
... was, again, very pleasant. My friend Evie came over for a visit, and the three of us had a nice conversation about family, living conditions, food and other such mundane things. She showed pics and videos of her three grandchildren, the youngest of which is only six months old - that's the one to get the rag doll, assuming I'll ever get around to do it.
Speaking of the rag doll, I've made the pattern today. I could have downloaded it for free, but only if I had joined some obscure website. I decided against it. Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I don't like to download things I know nothing about onto my PC. Besides, the pattern is not that complicated. I draw it on checkered paper with the help of a ruler; and free-hand where the bent lines came. I've put together the paper parts, and the result looks promising. I hope it will work with the felt as well.
I cooked today: made a vegetable and luncheon meat dish, cooked in the oven and generously sprinkled with grated cheese, and a soup, using the boiling water of the vegetables. Mum liked it, and we'll have leftovers tomorrow, so it's double win.
After all this, there wasn't much time left for anything else. I've decided to take a hour-long nap, and now I'm browsing a bit online until The Great Christmas Bake-Off comes along. :)
Oh, and I forgot to mention: I actually got a few very nice reviews for EMV I! Something like that haven't happened for a very long time, so I consider it a Christmas gift. *g*
