Advent 2025 - Day 1

It was an... eventful day. I had to get up at stupid o'clock to hop over to Lidl, since they had finally stocked up on grated lemon and orange peels and I had to get those before my generation (the only one still having time and energy for baking) snatched them away. I bought ten little packages of each; not that I'd need so much for the rest of the Christmas baking, but I use them all year long, and pre-Christmas is the only time thy are actually available, at least over here.

( And then the drama started )

When I finally got down (having done some more food shopping and visiting a craft shop), we ate the leftovers, and I intended to take a nice, long nap. Halfway into it, my friend Evie called and reminded me that she will come tomorrow and ferry my remaining wares to school. This had been the original agreement, but since we never discussed it since then, I thought she had forgotten about it (she had lots of school- and family-related stress lately). Clearly, she had not. So I called Eenie and told her the good news that she wouldn't need to pick me up tomorrow, which was a relief for her. She would have done it, but she'll have a tightly packed day tomorrow, so it's good that she wouldn't have to come my way, too.

Two more day till the fair. I'm very excited. I hope my stuff will sell like hot buns. *fingers crossed*
