Admittedly, I had to go to the Telecom customer service to make it reappear. Where I waited some 20 minutes, until a nice lady cajoled it back in about 15 seconds. Unfortunately, I couldn't realize what she was doing, but at least now I know where to go for help, should something like that happen again.

Oh, the times when I simply cornered an 8th-grade student with my technical problems!

I also visited my friend and now required colleague, Ilonka, in the late morning. She'd recently had (relatively minor) surgery and lives on the 3rd floor in a high, old-fashioned house without an elevator. Bad for her, a good cardio exercise for me. *g*

On my way home I visited the Lindt shop and bought a small bag of assorted Lindor chocolate balls, which we both love. Some of them were reduced by 50%, so even though they are generally shockingly expensive, I saved the equivalent of more than 20 Euros - which probably doesn't sound much, but it is considerable saving for me.

Crafting-wise I finished the penultimate pillow-case and started the last one. I also printed out the short guide how to use cherry pit pillows and what for. I'll glue them to a piece of cardboard - fortunately, they are really short - and give one to each customer. So, that's another step forward.

Tomorrow I'll be making apple jam. I've weighed the free leftover apples I'd brought from school yesterday: turns out I've got 2.5 kilos! Enough to make at least five or six jars for the fair and even some for us. Granted, peeling and cubing that amount will be one hell of a job, but at least I'll have something out of it. And decorating the jars afterwards is fun.

I am so glad we don't have a Lindt shop on the island — I would happily spend a small fortune and eat my own weight in Lindor!!

20 euros is a great savings!

They would be, if I could count — which I obviously can't. But saving 2.05 Euros is nice, too.

20 €?! I hope you meant cents?

Actually, it was 2.05 Euros. I misplaced the period. There's a reason why I hadn't become a maths teacher. 🙃

Goodness, I'm glad though! A saving of 20€ for a small bag of Lindor would have meant an insane original price!

I wish I could find a store near me that sold jars of jam the size that you make. I dare not buy jam because, once opened, I eat the contents way too fast and just keep going until the jar is empty. Bad news for my waistline, sugar levels, and teeth!

That's a shame. Jam is wonderful; but yes, that's exactly why I make it in small jars, even for ourselves.

Saving 20€ on chocolate also means you spent at least 20€ ... *giggle*

Nah, I just can't count. It was 2.05 Euros I actually saved. But yes, I paid a shocking sum of money for that chocolate, even so. Not that I'd regret it, mind you... 😋

I in your stead would have asked how she did the searching!
