Alfreda count --

Six and a fraction pages today, over 1500 words. I'm not done, but it's time to start dinner, whether it's today's dinner or tomorrow's. Time to brown the shoulder meat from the freezer. I'm going to use some leftover beef stew broth as a base, and build new guts for the stew -- meat, carrots, celery, onion, turnips, red wine, beef stock. A little garlic and parsley, but I'm out of thyme and keep forgetting to get more. The leftover sauce/broth includes leeks, so will be especially rich.

A fairly productive day, including several loads of laundry and a dishwasher full of pans. Finished an anime DVD to return to Netflix, and looking forward to some reading tonight, if I can get a few more pages written.

Tonight includes measuring to decide how much material I need to make a machine quilt for my niece's graduation. Argh! Another project! I'm still making Xmas gifts from last year! (Hard to crochet when the temp is over 80 F.)
