Advent 2023 - Day 7

[wiseheart]

My personal boxing day. *g*

This morning, I spent about an hour and a half to sort out 24 different kinds of biscuits for the first five recipients (=those who had brought cookie tins). That freed up some space in my boxes for the next batch of biscuits that will (hopefully) be baked in the weekend. I've only left eight sorts to bake, and I'm determined to make at least four of them. The rest will be made if I feel like baking even more. If I don't, I'll leave them.

In the early afternoon we had a short practice with the children's choir. We're going to have one piece that we'll sing together with the kiddies, and since they are really young (6-10 years), they needed to get used to some middle-aged ladies singing behind them without turning around and watching us all the time. ;)

It was snowing and raining (it still is) all day, so I asked my friend Eenie to give me a lift, as I also had to get my wares for the fair into school. Many of those are of paper, they wouldn't have survived a trip on the bus and the long walk from the bus stop to the school in this weather. I'm so fortunate to have such a generous friend! (Well, she said this is the least she could do for all the baking I do for her, but still...)

Afterwards, I made a short trip to Lidl and ended up with a full shopping bag again. Price reductions are so tempting... But at least I won't have to leave the house for several days again, and that is a relief.

The balcony doesn't like this weather, either. Fortunately, there was only some minor leakage last night. It is still annoying that they can't be arsed to come and fix it, after two and a half years!

Thank goodness for your friend giving you a lift on such a wet day. Good luck with your sales at the fair! And have fun with those youngsters at choir. It sounds like fun.

Well, we don't have much to do with them: one piece sung together per concert. But they are really cute, even though they can't always carry the tone. *g*

haha, the kids turning around to watch who is singing behind them, cute!

Their attention span is somewhat short, especially that of the youngest ones, so it helps if they get used to our presence in advance. ;)

Oh my, that’s a lot of baked goods. Your recipients will love them!

I can empathise re your balcony. I still don't have a front door that locks or even fully closes.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]
