So I went a-hunting...
Apr. 8th, 2020 10:02 pm... and was fortunate enough to find anything I needed. Except yeast, of course. It seems there's no yeast to be found in this country. (Or in Austria. Or in Germany. But that isn't really my problem is it?)
But since Easter in unimaginable without a Hefezopf, I stooped low enough to buy a ready-made one at Lidl. Or, to be more accurate, four really small ones, which I put into the freezer for Easter Sunday and Easter Monday breakfast.
Then I went to school to fetch the eggs I've ordered (the father of a previous student sells them us directly). And since it's clear that our choir won't likely meet any time soon, I took this little darlings - originally meant as choir gifts - and distributed them on the desks of my colleagues in the teachers' room:

It will take considerable time until my girls get them, but they will get them eventually, and hopefully they'll be happy about the gift.
Other than that, I cooked lunch, which ate half my day (tried out a new recipe that proved way too complicated), did two tiny bits of translation, watched two episodes of "Blood Ties" and had three nice phone chats, one of them quite long.
Mum and I are also considering trying to cut each other's hair before we end up looking like some Neanderthal women. Of course, the end result may prove even worse, but at least we'd have tried, right? *g*
