In the wee hours of Sunday, a few cars in the neighbourhood have been broken into. Sunglasses, a wallet, and etc have been stolen. Well, what a beginning to Mother’s Day for some of our neighbours… to have to call the police and probably kicking themselves for not locking up the vehicles or leaving valuables in the cars. I did not realise until yesterday that there are still people who do not lock their cars. I have only seen this in Kalamazoo in the 90s!

After that bit of morning drama, things went calm for me. I spent the day doing a bit of admin work, a bit of finance, and then some gardening. Trench composting my kitchen scraps, and opening up a new ‘composting pit’. I got this down to an art by now. 🙂

This Monday afternoon, D and I ran errands. First, we bought a crate of beers and some. Then we dropped by Molecule so that I may pick up a Too Good To Go surprise I have ordered in the morning. But before that, we went to check the price of the TV we bought a month ago. Still the same. D bought a belated Mother’s Day bouquet before we headed over to the cafeteria. I got a full meal of soup, fish rolls, mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, a piece of cake, plus a crêpe. What a deal!

Last thing we did before heading home was to buy potatoes from the potato farmer across the street. These potatoes cost only €7.50, and will last a month. Another good deal.
