A bit hectic today

wiseheartWe expected the chiropodist lady today, so I got up an hour earlier to make my food run. Spent a lot of money on surprisingly little stuff, but that's the way of things since Covid had pushed food prices into high heavens.
In any case, I bought some ingredients for Mary Berry's Panang chicken stir-fry. I didn't get celery, but it's too hard for Mum anyway; and without it, the dish was a great success.
The chiropodist lady talked us to the death, as usual, generously sharing her political opinions. Which are the polar opposite of ours; after a decade and a half she actually ought to know that by now. She's either not very bright, or she still hopes to convert us. It's very annoying anyway, but you won't find many people who'd come to the house - a necessity now that Mum can't go out yet.
In the afternoon, the janitor came by to fix the leaking tap in the bathroom. With a handyman in tow. So, today we had more people in the flat than we usually have in a week. None of them was wearing a mask, of course. :/
We had a tiny bit of rain today; enough to turn the entire area into a sauna, not enough to cool down the air significantly. Still, no hailstorm or whatnot, so we're grateful... although, based on the strong wind we're having right now, we still aren't entirely safe yet.
Due to the events listed above, writing didn't really happened today. I was completely brain dead. But I did some preparatory work for my popsicle crafting, namely painting tiny (1 cm diameter) cardboard stars to different colours with the help of acrylic pens. So the day wasn't a complete waste, after all.
