How did your jam making endeavours turn out this time?

Was there as much jam everywhere at the end of the day? **smiles**

They were delicious, and no, not so much spilling. (My stove has actually recovered quite well from my first attempt, too.)

I'm glad they turned out well for you. (I'm sure your stove is pleased at the lack of spillage, too! ~_^ )

I guess the adage is true...practice does make perfect. **grins**

Is twice practice? ;)

Well...

One of the definitions of practice is to do something repeatedly in order to acquire or polish a skill. That said, anything more than once falls under the realm of 'practice'. **smiles** There's just a bit of time between sessions... ~_^

. . . that was me being facetious, but yes. I still feel like an amateur when it comes to jam-making, though.

...Me too.

**smiles** You'll be a pro in no time. Assuming you keep practicing...

Oh, I'm sure I will.

Will your talents be limited to apricot, or will you be branching out into other fruits?..

I may branch out at some point. I'd rather like to try strawberry, for example.

Of course it's edible. You make great jam.

Thanks :D.

[Private to Lorne]

The most important thing is that you like it.

You're very welcome.

[Private to Ianto]

I love it.

And I love you.

[Private to Lorne]

I love you too.

Missed you today.

[Private to Ianto]

I missed you too, babe.

What did you do today? Besides making jam.

[Private to Lorne]

Nothing terribly exciting. Bought the apricots. Read a little. Did some wash and cleaned the loo.

What did you do?

[Private to Ianto]

I was on the late shift last night, so I slept in a little this morning. But I brushed up on my cartography with a little surveying on the mainland and set up the mission schedule for next week.

[Private to Lorne]

Mm, sleeping in . . .

That sounds like a good day. Time outdoors, drawing . . .

[Private to Ianto]

It was a good day. It would have been better if you were here. We could've packed a picnic and explored a little. Maybe spent some time on the beach...

[Private to Lorne]

Oh, that does sound lovely. Relaxing in the sunshine, swimming in the ocean, spreading sunblock on each other . . .

[Private to Ianto]

Mmm...sunblock... Gotta be real thorough with that. You're pretty pale, I wouldn't want you to burn.

[Private to Lorne]

Yeah. I need it on every inch of me.

[Private to Ianto]

Oh, yeah? Planning on sunbathing nude?

[Private to Lorne]

. . . if you're the only other person on the beach, sure.

[Private to Ianto]

...in that case, I really will have to be thorough with that sunblock. Really rub it in good.
