Saturday, laundry day

[wiseheart]

... among other things. I actually started with the grocery shopping, during which Mum was soaking our unmentionables. She insists on doing so - apparently, Louise the Older (=washing machine) won't clean them thoroughly enough otherwise. Ah, well, jedem das Seine (oder Ihre), as the Germans would say.

After a late breakfast we put Louise to work and I started decorating the last batch of this week's cookies. They are really, really pretty. I must not forget to take pictures (unlike last week). I'm so happy with the outcome!

No cooking was done - we had leftover carrot soup and I bought doughnuts at Lidl. That was more than enough. Even so, it was almost 5 o'clock when I finished my decorative efforts and had Louise emptied, too. After which I took a nap. A short one but a nap nonetheless, which elevated my mood considerably. Plus, I didn't fall asleep repeatedly during the GBBO, which happens when I don't get my afternoon nap. *g*

So that was, basically, it. Tomorrow I'll add some last details to my cookies, fill my spicy vinegars into their 200ml flagons and everything will be done for the fair.

Laundry day here as well ... never-ending, isn't it?
And I made waffles for coffee time and then made dinner ...
And did the cleaning in between.

That's a lot of work for one day! Unfortunately, doing the cleaning in-between is not an option over here. Cleaning means rearranging the entire flat at least twice: once to get to the dirt and once to reset the original configuration of things. *sigh*

But waffles sound wonderful.

Today was meant to be laundry day but I’m delaying as it is raining buckets. Such a heavy downpour. Secretly I’m delighted as anything that delays the heat of summer is much appreciated. Besides we are in a time of water shortage. Rain on!

Yes, I can imagine that rain is good to prevent more bush fires and whatnot. And it is a good excuse to delay doing the laundry. *g*

BTW, I've been planning to thank you for your lovely card for, oh, a week or more. Mum's in absolute love with it and included it into her Christmas decoration. Thank you so much!

You’re very welcome. I posted it early because I didn’t know how long it would take. You and your mum are in my heart ❤️

Oh dear, taking a nap so late would have me up and running all night long!
