My big shopping spree
Aug. 25th, 2025 08:50 pmToday I nurtured my shopping addiction. I rode the bus to the Campona shopping centre - the only place within reach with a newsletter's that sells German crossword puzzle books. Alas, only the huge ones (why keep the Din A/5 format that's practical and can be put into a handbag when they can keep the large ones for which one needs a dining table to spread out, right?) but at least they have them. They're outrageously expensive, compared with the original price that can be seen in Euros on the front page, but at least available. I bought two; that will have to last till Christmas or so.
( Crafty purchases )
Coming home, we watched some telly, ate leftovers and I packed the kitchen together, so that the exterminators that come three times a year, profilactically, can spray the hidden corners, too. Guess who didn't come? Right; the exterminators. Mum phoned them, and they said they had said August 26 both times she had called them previously. Mum swears they said August 25; actually, that was what she told me after the previous two calls. She was very angry, and so was I. I can't stand unreliable people. So the kitchen will remain in refugee camp mode for another day. God, I'm so fed up with this!
Not much else got done today because I was tired and fell asleep in the afternoon for two hours. But tomorrow I'll give these condensed milk cookies a try. Because my mental health requires some baking - it has been too long! - and I need to do it before the heat returns (presumably with the worst storm of the year) on Thursday.
