Twenty Tiny Teddies
May. 18th, 2024 07:55 pmThey are done and boxed and, if I say so myself, quite adorable. Take a look:

Other than finishing the gift boxes, I hopped down to Aldi and Lidl. Aldi was selling asparagus for half the price - alas, they only had green ones, which we don't like. I know, I know, every self-respecting gourmet swears that green asparagus is the thing to eat, but we don't like it. I guess we aren't self-respecting gourmets, eh? But Aldi also - quite unexpectedly - sold bananas for a really good price, so I bought some bananas. The old ones are a bit spotty, so it seems we'll have banana bread tomorrow. *g*
We also had laundry day, but cooking was a simple affair - I only had to make a salad and boil the Wiener Würstchen to the leftovers. Simple affair produced an astonishing amount of dirty dishes. Poor Mum, she always insists on doing the washing-up (although I wash half the stuff behind her back when she doesn't know), but today even she was a bit taken aback!
Not much else to report. After hanging up the washed clothes I was suitably drained and had to take a nap, which lasted longer than planned, so my 8/16 diet is disturbed again. I'll have to postpone breakfast tomorrow by at least half an hour (longer would be better), meaning that Mum and I will have breakfast at different times, which again means that the morning will go down the river again. No matter how hard I try, my time management is crap.

My son had his Law School graduation today, he earned his Juris Doctorate and a Comparative Law degree. It's been a long time coming. Now, he is studying everyday to try and pass the Bar Exam in July so he can be an attorney.
