Back to the thick of things...

wiseheart... and quite literally, too.
I've left the house for the first time in a week today to make my usual food run. I explicitly waited until today, thinking that the hungry masses would besiege the grocery shops on Monday. Well... I was wrong.
I've never seen such a crowd in the Auchan supermarket before. Granted, the fact that the workers had their pallets all over the place, trying to fill up the shelves for the next wave of hungries in time didn't help things, but still. It was a Tuesday Morning, for Pete's sake, and a fairly late morning at that!
Needless to say that when I finally got home I was useless for the rest of the day. A good thing that we decided not to cook today, either; we've been eating the same potato cream soup and Christmas cookies for three days in a row. Nothing wrong with that, it's a good soup (we still have some of it left for tomorrow), and I've baked enough different sorts of cookies to have some variety in our diet, but I'll be glad to finally have a cooked meal tomorrow. Even if it will only be a pair of sausages and a salad!
Other than that, I had nice, long phone chats with my friends Erna and Eenie and even managed to write a page or so for the next chapter of "Timescapes". That was a delight... I haven't written a thing for at least a week or even longer. Then I uploaded the next chapter of "Elvenhome" to AO3 - with one chapter a day I'll be finished with the story in the first third of January - and there'll be TV-time, soon. The GBBO re-runs for the win!
