Before I was so Rudely Interrupted...!

I planned a post for Monday evening...a gentle, quiet, domestic post...

But my camera had other ideas.  It and my computer stopped talking.  It took me till this evening to find out the problem: an "old" (2 years!!) USB cord that had twisted and bent till it developed a split in its side...and became non-functional.  I have fabric older than that!  Sheesh!

So anyway...now that I located a serviceable cord (left from the-camera-before-the-camera-before-this-one)...

Ahem.

Monday.

Slept in.

On waking, did this...

On Saturday, neighbour Brian (bachelor trucker)
delivered a bucket o' wee 'golden' plums.
I shared some with DD and some with neighbour Edna.
Then...

I washed and halved the rest.  In the end, about 15 cups...

As they boiled up with sugar and a bit of water,
the pits came to the surface to be skimmed off...

And in the end...Jam-m-m-m-m-m!

Oh, and I worked on MOB some, and knit some, and stitched a facing some, and cut fabric for a new project some, and read some...

And now I'm daring to link to WIP Wednesday on The Needle and Thread Network...

Enjoy!
