Es ist vollbracht!

Sorry, I don't know any expression in any other language that would describe my feeling quite like the above. *g*

Meaning that I've finally brought the pistachios in the Bioladen. It was a painful experience at the cash desk, but I simply can't wait for Aldi to bring their much cheaper (and, ironically, better) sort - if they even deign to do so this year. The Nikolaus Factory starts on Saturday, after all! I have nine recipients this year, not counting the neighbours on both side and the choir as a whole who all get their share each time, so I have to start working on earnest.

Mum and I did our weekly "Vienna tour" to the corner café in the morning. After that I was zigzagging all over the district for the whole morning, fetching this and buying that and came home dead on my feet. Not much else got done today - thank God for leftovers! - so I spent the afternoon with watching telly, writing a bit, chatting to my friends on the phone and generally trying to rest.

Tonight Vodafone is going to recalibrate the media boxes, between 2am and 5am. I wonder if we're gonna have telly in the morning or if I'll have to call their customer service (means an hour or so waiting in the queue) to lead me through the paces to bring everything back to the right order. Not the kind of surprise I'd be looking forward to. *sigh*

I will have to look for pistachios, too. There are so many delicious cookie recipes on YT!

Me, I usually find the best recipes on chefkoch.de. :)

Good luck with the media box stuff ...

Thanks. I'll need all the luck on God's green Earth, I'm afraid. Every time they "improve" something things are useless for days. They send a short one-page manual with instructions I don't understand and expect me to deal with the issue on my own.

Good luck with the cable.

I always feel such an old lady when I have to ring someone to help with techie stuff. These twenty year olds on the other end of the phone can sometimes be so condescending.

I hope the recalibration goes smoothly. I can't believe it is almost December, it still feels like it should be October to me.
