Walked dog, had triple espresso on deck, went to green market to pick up 3lbs of black currants I ordered on Tuesday, then to Trader Joe's to get organic raw sugar and a few other things.
Canned 8 pints of barbecue sauce (cherry/quince with lots of jalapeņos).
Put the mashed black currant to macerate in red wine and raw sugar for 48 hours, to make cassis liqueur.
Watered plants on deck (we are having a hot spell).
Had lunch on deck (whole wheat pita with baba ganoush, Persian cucumber and tomatoes and basil leaves).
Walked dog, had tea on deck.
Went to City Quilter to pick up my new sewing machine and brought it home. (new, and my very first one!).
Had dinner on deck (mini croissants with labneh, fresh dill, homemade gravlax and Persian cucumbers, washed down with ice-cold vodka).
