1. This morning I made apricot jam. It doesn't really take much and I got it done before anyone was awake. I don't know what it is about homemade conserves, it's definitely cheaper and easier to just go and buy from the store, but. It tastes wonderful, sweet and rich. I made enough to give some to anyone who asks. 2. Having been away for a week there was lots for an obsessive-compulsive dust-botherer to do. I cleaned and wiped and dysoned and ironed and washed and wiped some more. I emptied bins and changed beds and folded and scrubbed and sorted and put stuff away. I never stopped until I got distracted by internet conversations and calls. I had a great time. I've been avoiding being the domestic god I've aspired to for a while and it was good to make the house nice again for everyone. Of course they don't actually notice but that's not the point. I enjoy doing it anyway.
3. The day concluded with the best kiss I can remember in a very long time. Completely uncalled for, completely unexpected and completely beautiful. It was a Big Red kiss organised with surprising skill and generosity. Its one I will never forget till the moment I die.
