Had a busy weekend

[wiseheart]

A good one, though, in which I got done a great deal of things.

On Saturday, we went to Szeged, one of the larger towns in the South-east of Hungary, to visit the Christmas fair. We do this every year, with a few colleagues: we got on the train and visit a town or city that has a Christmas fair and can be visited within the day, buy some gifts, drink mulled wine, eat chimney cake, see the sights and gossip. This time, we were seven people, five regulars (including me) and two who were fairly new to the program. It's nice to spend time with one's colleagues without having to endure the idiotic ones by default and have some fun.

Today, I finally managed to pack away the paraphernalia needed to felt work, as I most likely won't do any of that until Easter time. Then I wrote a little, nothing significant, unfortunately, and suddenly realized that I'm waaay behind schedule with my Christmas baking. So I baked five different sorts of Christmas cookies today. Only three sorts had been originally planned, but I found myself with five egg whites (as the recipes required yolks only), and I hate to throw out perfectly good foodstuff, so I spontaneously baked two more sorts that require the whites only.

I've taken photos of the originally planned goodies (the rest needs to be decorated yet), which, as usual, you can see here.

The next week promises to be hectic, too, as we're having our Christmas concert on next Saturday, for which additional rehearsals will be required. Let's hope none of us will keel over from sheer exhaustion before the concert!
