Good morning to you! It is Monday, worst day for those who are still working members of the community. It is ten o´clock and and will be ten thirty until I have brought my sparse skills of English language into shape to be able to post. Outside it has been raining until a few minutes ago, when a first ray of sun made it through the clouds. It is five degrees now, but the worst is over. For the next weekend we will be up to Mayisch temperatures they say. Our swimming pool is ready for use, if you consider putting yourself into a neopren suit or get a bladder infection when using it without protection against the cold. Has been the same last year. Due to Corona boredom hubby had started to scrub the pool clean as a whistle then filled it with fresh water and a good amount of salt. He was sweating profusely when doing so, but not for long. The moment work was done temperatures dropped down to ten degrees, and we had to wait for the first day of bathing until the end of June. Ice saints and their unknown relatives together with Schafskälte (a cold spell around the Middle of June) resulted in seven weeks of refreshing coolness. And now I have to do inspection in the garden, to see if the storm which kept me awake for the most part of the night has done harm. Until now I only found out that the Japanese cherry tree has been stripped of all blossoms, same with the magnolia. My hope is that the blossom of our apple tree have made it through the bad weather, otherwise it might be the second season in a row without those delicious fruits you won´t get in the super market in this quality. Please wish me luck!
