wiseheart... considering that we have to wait until tomorrow to start stuffing things back into the bathroom. Consequently, the kitchen still looks like a battlefield and we are starting to feel the lack of our creature comforts keenly. Hard to imagine that we've lived like this in all those years back in Transylvania. Actually, that was even worse, since we didn't even have flowing water in the house - but we were considerably younger, too!
Anyway, I started the day with going to Lidl and buy essential foodstuffs. On my way back, when I reached the front door of our building, the first snowflakes started to fall. By the time I got up to the 2nd floor, where we live, the snowfall was so thick one could barely see out of the window. Half an hour later it stopped and everything was white and beautiful.
Another hour or so later it turned into rain and it has been raining steadily ever since. Thank Good it's mild rain, without wind, so the balcony has been able to resist (so far). But that doesn't say anything about what to expect tomorrow. *sigh*
I was to meet Ilonka, to deliver the Advent calendar, but she cancelled our get-together because of the weather, which I fully understand. She's a couple of months older than I am, but with a great deal more health problems. One-year-old grandson is too young to understand the concept of Advent calendars anyway.
Eenie, on the other hand, has called just shortly before 8pm to ask if it would be too late to drive by and exchange the excess sugar for margarine, which she had just organized from the supermarket. I said no, so she dropped in with her daughter for all but five minutes, in which we exchanged foodstuffs and the most important news, and then they left. Now I am well equipped (and with the right ingredients) to continue the Big Christmas Baking Frenzy(TM) during the weekend.
Other than that, I worked a bit on the front page of the Christmas felt book. All important ingredients are firmly sewn on and I've done most of the decoration, too. I hope I'll find a quiet hour or two tomorrow to finish the whole thing. I'm this close, but the minute details are always time-consuming.
