wiseheartSo, since I didn't manage to haul everything home for the next week or so, I had to hop down to the Lidl next corner today. Mum stayed out of it, after all, since it had rained during the night and she doesn't like navigate the wet spots (I momentarily forget the name in English). So do I, but someone has to do it.
The shop was crowded. Absolutely crowded. Even getting in was a difficult task. I understand that people wanted to stock up their alcohol storage for the completely illegal parties, but why that included young parents dragging their toddlers through the unwashed masses is beyond me.
I heroically fought my way through the crowd and acquired my fruits and mineral water with the possible minimum of exposure. I'm so not going out for another week! We have everything we need, I've baked the pastries for my Silvester night Vol-au-vents, we still have that one bottle of champagne I got from our relatives for my birthday a couple of years ago, so we're all set.
I also talked to my friend Evie. She managed to catch a cold while chasing her grandson all over the garden last week, poor thing, but is slowly getting better, which is good.
