Today was a warm and sunny day, and husband mine braved his seventy years and went outside, to find organic waste to fill the bin up- Tuesday is organic waste collection day. Hubby did cut and rake- and came back in with a sore back. See, seventy years is a dangerous age for such inconveniences! Because of hubby´s sore back the wanted boxes with ( Read more... )

Unbelievable, but husband mine turned seventy today. In summary it was a nice day, even though not all went well during day. First I was not able to find the standard recipe I use for the currant cake I had to make for afternoon coffee. Found a similar one, which was okay, only that we did not have as much currants as hubby thought we'd have, so I ( Read more... )

Housework is definitely no fun- yet I spent most of the day doing it. The bathrooms were my business, that's why my fingers have started another row of blisters. Yes, I know, there's rubber gloves available, but by using them I'd get blisters, too, because until now I haven't found a brand I am not allergic to some of the substances. Good thing was ( Read more... )

My shoulder is on the way to its former self- slowly, but still! During those last days I haven't been able to disrobe the usual way but had to resort to the mannish way of getting rid of my sweaters. That's why I know now why outer garments of females always have to get turned inside out (outside in) before washing, or one will have to wrestle a ( Read more... )

We left at seven in the morning and arrived at the sanatorium at 10:30. The drive had been a battle against the navigation system in my car- at some point we had three sat navs running, two on the mobiles and the one in the car. The car's one was intent on sending us to a town with the same name, the mobiles at least found the right town but ( Read more... )

The slight pain in my right shoulder which I always feel started to worsen during the last days. Today I woke, and here it was again- I can move my right arm forwards and backwards, but not to the side. That will make for a nice car driving tomorrow. Hubby has added the kilometres we will have to do and came up to 750. So I am the one who is ( Read more... )

Hubby and I got up late- it´s Sunday, and we are allowed to. After breakfast husband left for number one, who has eneormous problems with the drain in the kitchen. Seems that son will need a plumber- the boys did not find any obstructions, yet the water won´t drain off. At the moment the family has to rinse dishes manually in a bucket and carry the ( Read more... )

No way! I slept like a log, after I had taken a photo of the full moon at 10:30.

Hubby gets up at seven these days. Very strange for him, because in summer he would not leave the bed before eight. Since I am a nice wife (or a revengeful one, who has not forgotten about hubby coming after me, when I planned a nice, quiet breakfast), I will follow soon after. Strange is also that now I don´t feel the need for taking an after- ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening we got a first greeting from winter. After three weeks without precipitations it was snowing, blessedly only for a short time. I was too lazy to take pictures, and in the morning all snow was gone ( Read more... )
