Miracles happen

wiseheartAfter three or four months (I don't really remember how long it has been), one of Mum's medicines that was in short supply finally resurfaced in the pharmacy. Phew! She was down to half a bottle already, so it's a relief that the thing is available again.
Lidl was fairly bearable today. They had caster sugar for a reduced price, which is great as I'll need lots of it for making experimental jams for the next Christmas fair. I bought four kilos. Fortunately, sugar will keep (unless it gets wet, but I'll see to it that that doesn't happen).
We had leftovers and I also bought Pogatschen and a Babka for afters. The Babka is very economical; you can slice it paper thing, so it will last us three days. It isn't cheap, as only the corner café sells it (they have their own recipe for almost everything), but worth every cent.
In the afternoon I worked a bit on my red rabbits. Both little Bolshies have now a face, and I started sewing together the front and back panels. If we didn't have two days of deep cleaning waiting for us I could finish them in that time. As things are, they'll have to wait. But at least I'll have help with the cleaning now. Or so I hope. I only believe it when said help actually turns up. *fingers crossed*
I tried to call two of my friends but neither of them answered the phone. Grandmother duties, most likely. I'll try again tomorrow.
