Eventful Saturday
May. 3rd, 2025 07:48 pmWeather forecast promised 30-32 degrees for the afternoon, so Mum and I decided to do our daily walk in the morning. I parked her on the playground next to our building, where she could amuse herself by watching the toddlers, while I went to Lidl for a quick grocery shopping. It was quick... but rather thorough, since I had to fill up a mostly empty fridge. Even so, I forgot a couple of things; I'm always a bit nervous when I leave Mum alone outside the house. But everything went well, and we made it home all right, despite the fact that all her joints are hurting like whoa at the moment. Small wonder; apparently, we can look forward to three days of rain, perhaps even storms. With our balcony, that's really bad news. *sigh*
But I did finish the last pincushion, and even started the next phase of the project. That phase consists of cutting out and sewing together double layers of felt circles; when that's done, I'll have to sew on the buttons that will go into the small sewing kits. At least 6 buttons per piece, and I have 12 pieces. Yes, I know. I'm officially insane.
We also had laundry day today, complete with the changing of beds. At least I didn't have to cook today; leftover soup and broccoli Strudel took care of that. Tomorrow is another matter; I'm considering frying some of the chicken wings that are residing in the freezer. Since the freezer needs to be thawed out once again. Joy, joy, joy - NOT!
My main concern is the weather, though; because of the leaky balcony. Mum phoned to our janitor who promised to call the insulation guys again. We'll see what happens - and when.
