We left at eight in the morning, arrived at son´s around twelve, had coffee and cake then started our drive back home. Had to pick up lunch for us (DiL did not cook save for Elsa), also went to Tedi for some Easter decoration then did the two and a half hours drive to our house. Elsa did sing most of the time, albeit quietly- lucky me! It was hubby ( Read more... )

...sun and seven degrees. What we got was fog and barely one degree. It´s annoying. Cold (which is okay for winter for many, but count me out) and dark all day long. I had to do housework, crossworld puzzles and sudokus with the lights on. For the first time I was glad that our vacuum cleaner has that nice light which usually annoys me. Sister made ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening I had a long talk with sister mine. She´s calling me now twice a week at least. This time it was about me not responding when she calls- how then, when our house is swarming with people? What she wanted to tell me was that she finally found an old certificate of registration, which told that she very well had lived in our flat in ( Read more... )

Blessedly both boys slept like logs during night. Flavius got up at six thirty, his older brother one hour later. I just knew which boy to pick for sleepovers! After breakfast Cassian helped me with cooking, cutting vegetables and adding spices such as Ingrid (he meant Ingwer=ginger) to the meat and the broccoli. Almost as funny as the dangerous ( Read more... )

---while seething inwardly. Son called yesterday, when I was already in bed. DiL intended to redeem the voucher the two got as a Christmas present- means that the boys were to have an overnight stay at our house. In compensation we got invited to have ramen at their house on Sunday. DiL would bring the boys around two in the afternoon. I wondered ( Read more... )

That´s a novum- today I voluntarily got up at five thirty, because I was no more able to sleep. I made a cup of coffee and studied the newspaper (in the tube today), until hubby showed up and we had breakfast. My goal for today was to build the glass cases I had bought at IKEA. But at ten in the morning DiL 2 called- she said that she did not feel ( Read more... )

So yesterday we had foehn during day and changing winds in the late afternoon. Things blown from south to north were at the place they had started their journey from again. Only that when I went to bed foehn came back with a vengeance to wreak havoc again. Rain stopped, stars were out- hubby went out to retrieve two flower pots which were on their ( Read more... )

When I read the weather forecast telling me that there'd be rain in maybe one hour I took a look out of the window and said no. One hour later the sun was out- we had foehn again, and I loved it. No headache today (usually happens with foehn) but full spring feeling. At midday we were up to 18 degrees, and it was lovely! Hubby and I took the ( Read more... )

Slow days are good ones they say. So I got up half an hour after hubby, had a long, nice, breakfast then had a spa morning in the steam shower. Got ready just in time to leave for a short visit to family number one- it´s DiL´s birthday today. We brought a Sachertorte and Kindersekt plus the obligatory spring flowers. Were with the family for a good ( Read more... )

Both hubby and I got up a tad earlier than usual. The birds, so cute and quiet during winter, must be in full mating season already- really hard to ignore! After breakfast hubby had his daily shower, while I waited for him to finish to be able to do mine. Only that I heard hubby talking on his phone, and soon after he appeared in the bedroom to ( Read more... )
