desperanceSo. I have made all the marmalade. All of it.
And filled all the jars, and topped them off with those little wax-paper discs, and fastened down the lids. And now they are cooling off, but not cool enough to set yet, just to keep me worrying; and either the early jars are over-peeled or the later jars are under-peeled, but that's just a lesson learned (that it can happen, I mean, despite my trying to avoid it; what the solution is, I have not yet learned).
And now I am going to eat something which is not bitter-sweet, but hottt and savoury, and that will make a change. And then I will watch a rerun of Foyle's War because that is research, and have a bath and go to bed, dreading tomorrow because I have a day-job now of a sort, I have to interact with the university and I hate that and I know that millions of you have day-jobs that you have felt this way about for years'n'years and I only have to survive three weeks of this before I go to California but still. This is not my life and I should not have to do it, so. *sulks*
