wiseheart... our day, I mean.
I started with baking savoury scones for the guests. Then I helped Mum with her morning routine, and started making lunch, since we were supposed to have lunch before the guests would show up, which we managed... barely. They arrived shortly after 2pm.
So we were having social life, as well as a bit of help: the husband installed the new armchair wheel. Now I know how to do it next time... hopefully. Will have to buy some more replacement wheels, as the new one is slightly smaller than the old ones (I didn't find the same size), so we'll eventually replace the other three and put them away in case the second armchair suffers an accident, too.
Yeah, horribly boring, I know. But that's what my life looks like in these days.
I left Mum with her guests then and went to choir practice - on a roundaway route, via a small shop that sells sewing supplies. It's been on sale for at least half a year, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it still open. So pleased that I spent an unreasonable amount of money on flower-shaped buttons, in various sizes and colours. I used up part of my stock for the songbook, so I needed replacements, but not so many replacements. But I thought I should use the chance as long as the shop is still there, right? I also bought two iron-on ornaments: two different snowmen, both extremely cute. Why is it that the best Christmas stuff always shows up when Christmas is long over?
Choir practice was nice enough. The ersatz concert is on Saturday, and it seems that our conductor's pet contralto solo singer won't recover from a painful ear problem by then. So I might actually get the part. Not the way I dreamed of (I actually like this person and feel sorry for her illness), but if it happens, I'll still be happy. Is that terribly selfish of me?
