jennlk..and that I really should set an alarm when I need to be up 6 hours after I go to bed. Especially when I go to bed at 1:30.
Church today was the kid's Xmas programs -- Christmas Around the World. SR's group did the first service and fellowship. I made blini -- thin buckwheat pancakes, almost crepe like; with blackberry preserves and sweetened farmer's cheese. I was going to cook them at home, but we got a late start (the alarm thing). So I mixed up the batter and made them at church. On an electric range that probably didn't work all that well when it was new, and it's now 20+ years old. Ick. I've not cooked on an electric range for close to 15 years, and I ruined about a dozen blini before I got it right. (Next time I need to use more buckwheat flour.)
I didn't go to DBs program because at first I was cleaning up the kitchen, and then my back informed me that if I sat down in a pew I'd probably not be able to get back up again. I saw a little bit of it (it was a typical kid performance -- some were good, others were not, some just stood there...).
Back is better now, but I really should go nest for the rest of the day. We'll see how well that works. Another delay on the Christmas cards. Enh. They'll still get there by Christmas. Mostly.
Birds: Five finches, three on the finch feeder, one on the deck rail, one on the big birdfeeder. There were more earlier. Sparrows and juncos and finches this morning while I was getting ready to go. Haven't seen the crows today, but they usually stop by mid-morning, and we were gone by then.
