Half a day off - with adventures
Jul. 9th, 2019 08:56 pmSince our visit to Baby Emma has been cancelled, I persuaded Mum that we should go out a bit anyway. We've been snowed in in redecorating hell for weeks by now, we needed a break.
( The first adventure )
By that time we were both royally pissed and decided not to go to the bank, but take the tram homewards and collect on our way my favourite handbag that was getting new lining (the old one had been in shreds). After that, we intended to go to Stühmer's Café, for some much-needed comfort delicacies.
( The second adventure )
After that, we went to Stühmer's Café indeed, where we had our respective favourite coffees (cappuccino for me, long espresso for Mum) and ate something called "Strawberry Brownies". I can't really tell you what it is, just that it was a pink half globe on a small piece of rich chocolate cake, filled with strawberry cream of some sort. Delicious! But also pricely. We usually only have coffee there because the cakes are very expensive, but today we felt that we deserved something extravagant. *g*
The... thing was so filling that we opted out of a cooked lunch and only ate some cheesy buns with a lager (for the non-Germans: beer with lemon juice) for our midday meal. Then I collected all my nonexistent willpower and put the stuff back onto my only functioning bookshelf. And we're talking about the respective 7 seasons of ST:TNG and ST:Voyager here, on video tapes - two episodes per tape, and considering that each season consisted of 26 episodes (well, except Season 2 of TNG, I think), that was a lot of tapes!
I also put back the audio cassettes into their raster - those I decided to keep anyway. I threw out about a third of them, putting little knick-knacks into the empty places. The raster now looks like a somewhat magical place with all the little people peeking out from between the audio tapes. *g*
By then I was really done in, so I decided that the rest could wait. One has to solve some crossword puzzles, too, after all, to keep the little grey cells active, right?
