I was out of the house all morning - unfortunately, not for reasons I'd like to be out of the house for. It started with a battle with the bank, which I lose - I didn't have a rat's chance against bureaucracy. So I'll have to find a way to drag my 92-year-old mother (who can just walk very short ways around the house) to the bank to prove her identity. Or have official copies made of her documents (by a notary or whatnot) and send them to the other end of the country where the bank has some administrative centre. *insert really bad curse words here*
To get at least something out of the day, I made another page for the baby book before starting my odyssey. It isn't completed yet, but almost. I'll have to add a few tags and cards, but otherwise it's done... and very pretty, if I say so myself. No sewing today; the abused fingers are still recovering.
After the bank fiasco, I visited Tedi, Pepco and Kik - all shops that also sell craft supplies. Bought a few little things and heroically resisted the temptation of some really beautiful jam jars that were also really expensive. I mean, I do need more jars, as I've bought all the frozen blueberries and raspberries, but paying as much (or more) for the jars as for the fruit seems a bit extreme. So I called my friend Evie and she promised me some jars, as she isn't planning any jam-making before high summer. We regularly re-use the emptied jars, I've just run out of mine.
Having done half of the food shopping in the same shopping centre, I came home, put down my booty and turned back to Aldi for the aforementioned frozen blueberries. There I met my neighbour, IT guy's wife, and I finally know what time I'll have a good chance to actually speak with the guy. I might get my antivirus programme renewed in time, after all.
