Rosa just fell asleep on a chair in the living room. For an extremely liberal value of "on". She has her feet on the floor and is bent at the waist lying on the seat of the chair.

Greengage jam

Greengage jam was one of our favorites when we lived in England. I've been looking for it here ever since we came back, but have never found it. So I finally decided to try making it myself. I just did it while Rosa has been asleep. I now have three jars of green plum jam cooling on the kitchen counter. I don't know whether the green plums I found were really greengages or not, but they were certainly sour enough, and the drips of jam-in-process taste pretty good. I'm even thinking of giving one of the jars to Ray, since it was something he really liked.

For some reason this evening I decided to apply the wallpaper cutouts ("Wallies^TM") which I bought in March for my kitchen. Here's a portion of the final result. I couldn't get far enough away to take the whole wall because my digicam has no batteries right now and I had to plug it in.
