Apple pie

The last two weeks of my vacation were also spent at the summerhouse for the most part. One day we went on a walk in a natural preserve where Skåne's highest waterfall can be viewed. There wasn't much water in it. It's not really high, either. We were really looking for mushrooms but found none. Another day my mother and I went on a shopping trip to Kristianstad. 

Last Monday I started working again. During my absence the library got a new boss. That position had not been filled for over a year and a half. The new boss is a guy, and I actually haven't met him in person yet. During my vacation some other things happened that were not good. I tried to delegate responsibility for a project and that failed for several different reasons. The first week at work was terrible and I rarely have a headache as often as I had then. There was also a meeting from hell, where we disagreed about several issues and it got loud. Remarkable. How difficult can it be to manage a library?

This Saturday there was no electricity in the house (or any of the nearby houses) when I woke up. I'm lucky I don't drink coffee, because the power didn't come back until after noon. Yesterday I drove one hour to visit one of my mother's friends. My mother and her boyfriend were already there when I arrived. We were treated to a very nice apple pie. It was so tasty my mother asked for the recipe. Both my mother and I buy fabric for this woman, so that was the main purpose of visiting. On the way home, we also managed to get to a charity shop just before closing, where I bought books for the library. 

Locally, there is now one more grocery store, Coop. It's not the cheapest one, but they have a nice deli assortment. There were special offers the opening week, of course.
