Advent 2023 - Day 12

[wiseheart]

I was lucky. The rain stopped somewhen last evening, and I was greeted by bright sunshine in the morning. So I used my chance, brought my wares to school, and on my way home I made a little detour to the craft supply discounter. The advantage of that place is that I get thing for a somewhat reduced price when I do my shopping in the name of our school; and since I made things for the school fair from the supplies I buy there, I can do it with good conscience.

So I bought four packages of size A4 felt sheets (in white, beige, brown and moss green - very pretty colours) and three single large, size A5 felt sheets (in burgundy red, dark green and lime green). I also bought a new craft punch, with which I can punch out little trees (not pine trees!), some small bells (in gold, red and silver) and 3 packages of machine-cut felt ornaments - Christmas-themed ones, of course. Those are so helpful when I make my quiet books!

We won't discuss the amount of money I spent, despite the reduced prices, no, Preciousss, we won't. And tomorrow there are three other shops on my to-go list, before and after my appointment at the hairdresser's, so yeah, it will get even worse. *ducks in shame*

On my way home from the crafty discounter I also dropped by at Aldi and bought some yummy baked goodies (of the bread-based sort; we really don't need any more sweets in the house!), and we had sandwiches and Tütensuppe for lunch. I'm really lucky that Mum is so agreeable about such things. I wouldn't have the strength to cook today, either! But tomorrow there will be apple slices fried in pancake batter, so yeah, we do eat cooked food from time to time! *g*

Lucky indeed! I'm glad you got to run your errands without getting drenched. Hopefully tomorrow will be another no-rain run.

Thank you, that would be nice, but today was more important. :)
And how are you doing, BTW? And your Mama?

Eh, it's... The usual around this time of the year. Very stressful and lots of family drama. 3 weeks of family visit coming up. Mom's health is still troublesome, too, her blood pressure post-Covid is getting under control but between Covid inflammation and weeks of no exercise it fucked up her arthritis something awful and we're still struggling with that very much.

Apfelküchle ... lecker!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Ja, das sind sie! Und wir haben ein paar harte und nicht sehr aromatische äpfel die verbraucht werden müssen. Etwas Zimtzucker und alles ist gut!

Sandwich and soup is one of my favourite comfort foods. One of the local cafe's here always has that as a lunch option.

They clearly know their clients well. :)

Gebackene Apfelringerl! Eine der wenigen Süßspeisen, die ich mag!

Na ja, nicht direkt Ringe, nur geschnippelte äpfel in Palatschinkenteig ausgebacken, aber der Geschmack ist wohl derselbe. :)
