Getting old means getting slow

And time speeds up around one, even though there isn't so overwhelmingly much to do. I wanted to visit a craft discount store today, just to get out of the house, only to find it closed. Not for good, fortunately, just because of the national holiday tomorrow - they've decided to make a 4-day-weekend. So I walked up another long stretch to take a look at he Kik and Pepco shops in the nearby Budafok Plaza, but they didn't have many craft supplies, either. So my only booty today was a bag full of wine corks someone laid out at the garbage bin. They are all very nice and clean, although I might cook them tomorrow, just in case they have inhabitants. ;)

On my way home I went to Aldi - supposedly for milk, yogurt and cold cuts. I came home with two large shopping bags, full to the point of bursting. Aldi had several things on offer, and in these days you don't buy food when you need it; you buy it when it's on offer. So, tomorrow will be peeling and slicing and dicing carrots, zucchini and the likes, so that I can freeze them for future use.

In the early afternoon I worked a bit on the quiet books; namely, on the six honey pots for the gentlebears. You'd think I can finish six felt honey pots in two hours, right? You'd be mistaken. Sewing on the decorative honey drops first (all 12 of them), and then the Velcro on the back of the things is really hard on the fingers. So, adding the lids and sewing them together will have to wait.

After all this, my bold original plan of typing up what little I had managed to write yesterday has been postponed, too. Such is the life of the elderly and slow...
