Advent 2025 - Day 8
Dec. 8th, 2025 05:53 pmThe best laid plans of meeces and men and all that...
In other words: I didn't go to the Christmas fair today. When I got up at my usual time (way too early if you ask me), I looked out of the window - and couldn't see the other side of the street due to the thick fog. So I decided to go back to bed and slept almost an hour longer than usual.
We went through our morning routine with some delay, and then I slept until breakfast. After breakfast I slept again for roughly two hours or so. Clearly, yesterday's cleaning frenzy did have an aftermath. Despite all that sleeping (due to which I had completely forgotten we had a short practice with the children's choir today) I'm still sleepy like whoa!
There was no need to cook - I made the veggie soup and the cauliflower strudel yesterday, after the cleaning - so I solved a few crossword puzzles, watched a bit of crap telly... and did basically nothing. But that's okay. We have a rather eventful week before us, with two additional choir practices, a visit from the hairdresser (for Mum), the concert on Saturday and a visit from my eldest cousin and his son on Sunday. So, a lazy day was a real life-saver today.
