Today has zoomed by. Zoomed by? Something like that.
We started the day with pancakes. Traditions are soothing in these uncertain times, so Sunday breakfast pancakes make me feel more grounded. The smaller things following their course make the bigger ones easier. It was also today that C's broadbean sprouted properly and started growing its true leaves, much to C's excitement.
Talked to a friend in New York on Zoom for an hour or so. She seemed... fine. Stressed, and managing as best she could, and trying hard not to worry about 1001 things that could be going wrong. A bit like me, I suppose. We commiserated, and shared, and thought about a lot of things.
Ended up making latkes today. Completely the wrong time of year, but C has spent a lot of time watching Melissa Clark videos on the NYT Cooking app and just... requested nicely. We have potatoes, onions, eggs, and oil. So might as well indulge in the small things, now that the main item, time, is available. It worked really well, and I'll do it again someday. And they went well with roasted lamb :).
Here's to hoping next week goes more smoothly in terms of work. Stress is unhelpful.
