Chores upon chores today

First I made the obligatory food run - with serious extensions, as Aldi had lots of things we like on sale, so I ended up with two large bags to haul home (I even had to buy one of the bags because the one I had with me simply wasn't large enough). It's only right that I treated myself to some more craft supplies on the way back, isn't it? Besides, I only bought some crystal stickers.

Then I had to cook, which was relatively easy as all I made was potato cream soup, the one Mum likes so much. We had that for lunch, with the Marillen-Vanillepudding Taschen I bought at Aldi and coffee.

In the meantime we had to do the laundry. Usually Saturday is laundry day, but tomorrow Mum's oldest friend is coming for a short visit. They haven't met for more than a year, and at their age that's a long time. So we had to do the laundry today, plus I offered to make an apple tart. It meant peeling and cubing a heap of very small, very hard apples that we wouldn't be able to eat raw anyway, and hadn't I cut my finger with the potato peeler earlier, it wouldn't have been a problem, either. Funny that one needs all ten fingers intact to function properly.

The apple tart is still in the oven - I'll have to take a look, soon - and my finger seems to be healing. All is well over here, then.
