We've survived

[wiseheart]

... the chiropodist lady once again. But it wasn't easy. Half a day later, our minds are still numb. How on Earth can somebody talk without a break for over two hours? Gah, I'm so glad I fled to the study/workroom while she was working on Mum and at least finished another mini pillow-case. Only a single one. Not even blanket stitch can be done swiftly when one's brain is reduced to vegetative functions.

After she'd left I hopped down to Lidl, even though it was fairly hot again. A change of scenery was vital at that point - I just felt sorry for poor Mum that she couldn't do the same. Lidl is still beyond her reach as there are no benches along the way for her to take short rests. :((

We then ate the leftovers from yesterday and the day before. And some doughnuts I bought at Lidl because we really needed some sugar in our systems. And ice cream. Survival has its necessities, after all.

After lunch (and our usual early afternoon TV programme, including The Incredible Dr. Pol, Richterin Barbara Salesch and The Great Australian Bake-Off, we both took a much-needed nap. That is, I called my friend Ilonka first, who had recently had surgery, to make out the best time to visit her. Which would be Wednesday, unless some family matter comes up - on her side, not mine. Our family keeps ignoring us steadfastly.

A bit later my other friend, Erna, called me, and we gossiped a bit about school. She still has six years until retirement, the poor thing. I really feel for her - back in the much-criticized old time she'd have retired three years ago. God, am I glad to be such an old hag!

Anyway, it was an eventful day, both in the good and the not-so-good sense of the word. But at least I got to talk to friends, and that's always a win. I miss people terribly sometimes.

Two days ago I turned the TV on and watched some baking show. Hubby came into the room and almost had a heart attack. I turned the TV off again- he hates such shows. I quite like them, even though they are not exactly helpful to improve my baking skills!

Me, I only watch the various versions of the GBBO. My favourites are the early Australian and the newer Canadian ones.

2 hours!?

She can’t talk and work at the same time. Has to pause at dramatic moments, of which her stories have lots. Or so she thinks.

Oh man.
