Hi all on this rainy Saturday. I’m joining #WeekendCoffeeShare again, although yet again it’s a bit late for coffee at 8:30PM. It’s odd in this respect that I start my coffee share paragraphs with “If we were having coffee…” even though I rarely offer you coffee. Oh well. Let’s have a drink anyway and let’s catch up.
If we were having coffee (or any other drink, but it feels off to have to repeat that every paragraph), I’d share that I haven’t been doing as well in the walking department this week as I did last week. I reached my goal of 10K steps only once this week and on a few other days, struggled to get beyond 5K steps. My foot hasn’t been cooperating and neither has the weather. It’s been quite rainy most days, although I managed to get a walk in between showers almost everyday.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I have the kindest yet weirdest mother-in-law. Earlier in the week, I asked her to be on the lookout for fine sanding paper to use to sand and buff my polymer clay ornaments. Not only did she drive by three different hardware stores in search for it, but she eventually ordered it online at Bol.com, even though I could as easily have ordered it there. I’m so grateful but I also feel a bit off now.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I have a slight cold, so I didn’t go to Lobith yet again. The self-administered antigen test for coronavirus I took was negative. Still, I want to avoid giving my husband whatever virus I do have, especially with him just having been vaccinated and this meaning he can’t be reliably tested for COVID.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I made the most delicious chicken, curry and fruit salad with my one-on-one staff yesterday. It was great having this for lunch.
If we were having coffee, I’d use the rest of this post to blather on about polymer clay, I guess. This evening, I have been practising making ornaments as independently as possible. I can roll out pretty even bases to cut shapes out of now, as well as cut out the shapes. I am however not able to remove the clay ornament from my cutting board workspace without damaging it yet. However, I’m confident that I’ll learn.
What have you been up to?
A Multitude of Musings 
It was very nice of your mother-in-law to try and do something nice to make you happy. I hope the rest of your weekend is really good!

Thank you. We’re supposed to get some rain over the entire next week too, but hopefully there will be time for walks between showers.

I was telling my son about polymer clay. He is interested. We will see if we can get it here. Regards

Oh I’m so glad I inspired you and your son. What country are you in? I’m pretty sure you could find it, but you might not be able to get every brand (like here we mostly have Fimo). That’s not a problem though. Start out with a few colors and start experimenting. I hope your son ends up enjoying it.

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I’m pretty sure Amazon.in sells Sculpey III, which is a good beginner’s brand of polymer clay I think. This is not suited for making delicate things or detailed sculptures, but it will work for things like the flower I made.
