There are some days...
Jan. 4th, 2023 06:27 pmThe day started out quite frustrating. Vodafone continues to be impotent, so I had another round of edgy discussion with their customer service on the phone. In the end I decided that - since, unlike the electricity, phone, gas, water and other providers, they are no longer capable of automatically get my money from the bank - I'll return to the Stone Age method: paper checks via postal service. It's their own damn fault!
Afterwards, I spent 40 "delightful" minutes at the bank, to get some info that I was given within two minutes after all that waiting. God, I hate it, when people steal my valuable time! To overcome my frustration, I visited the craft shops (that is, shops that have a small selection of craft supplies, among other things) and spent money on differently coloured Velcro stripes, small textile roses, ready-made felt appliqués and the likes. None of which I really needed, but craft supplies are addictive, and they help lifting my mood. Just like comfort food. Only that they don't make one fat. Unlike comfort food. *g*
In any case, it was too late to cook when I got back, so we decided to eat the leftover food we originally planned for tomorrow. Then we watched some telly, and I started working on the space rocket page. This one:
I cut out the individual pieces of the rocket and pinned them together on the dark blue background. My page is gonna be a bit different, with planets and moveable stars in the background, but the basic idea is the same.
As for Mum's birthday, so far 5 people have resurfaced and said that they'd like to come. Of course, there's always the odd chance that something happens in the last minute, but so far it looks promising.
