Being efficient

wiseheartI had a busy morning. First, I returned to the bank and managed to get done at least two of the three things that needed to be done - let's hope the clerk actually knew what she was doing. There were doubtful moments...
Then I went to the post office to fetch the meeces (= mice)badly_knitted sent me. Poor little things had been taxed beyond their cute ears, but they are such sweeties. Mum commandeered one for herself at once, I had pre-selected mine, the other three will go to three lovely young ladies between the age of 2 and 7 (otherwise known as my friend Elise's granddaughters) and will inhabit these toddler bags:
I think they'll have a good home and a good life. :)
Then I went to the craft shop that lies on my way home and indulged in buying some absolutely stunning, hand-made paper from India. Not that I didn't have blocks of such paper already, but I didn't have these particular patterns. Mum also liked them a lot, and after yesterday's fright I deserved some compensation, I find.
Then I finished my tour with shopping for groceries in the Lidl supermarket next corner (to where we had intended to go with Mum yesterday), and I saw, to my less than present surprise that the prices had already gone up since last week. Not the prices of stuff that had already been expensive, no. The prices of the relatively cheap things people with little money would choose to buy. How very typical! But at least I found some thing that are rarely found: Almdudler and Schwäbische Spätzle, things we both adore and I promptly bought them.
So I spent quite some money in the various shops, which is always good for my mental health. *g*
