- didn't go to the beach. but enjoyed a pool with some friends
- did stuff with beads and made some new bracelets and a new necklace
- learned how to play cacheta, canasta and crapette. only games that start with C
- got a birthday present very right! it was already in his amazon cart and i didn't even know.
- cooked some good meals with friends, including bread!
- took part in a reading marathon with friends where i started to reread the name of the wind with some friends, and we made stew for lunch because stew was mentioned in the book
