Finally!

After August being not as hot as it should be and September being too cold, we have been waiting for gossamer to finally appear. And it did, even if the period of late warmth and sunshine will be over next week. Nights are cold, but days are really warm and sunny, so afternoons in the studio would be really nice for knitting with the sun streaming through the balcony door. Alas, today hubby always found things to do that needed my help. Before we even were to have lunch, I had to jump into my car and pick up the newest thing he bought, should gas gas run low- electric panel heating for bathroom and studio. I am pretty sure that if gas runs low, they will try the same with electricity. Besides, since the price for it depends on the price of gas, heating will be very, very expensive anyway. I bet that this winter will be the first cold one after a series of winters with temperatures too high, but I will let myself be surprised! So after helping hubby drag a lot of things onto the car trailer for disposal, I had a late cup of coffee then went up to do a few more rows of the knitting pattern straight from hell- only to see the sun going down behind the hills at 3:20. I so love autumn! Knitting under artificial lighting is a no-go for me, but I will have to try at least to make some progress!
Today I made pumpkon soup from the only hokkaido we harvested. Turned out well, pumpkin was edible. I was not so sure about it, since pumpkins grown from your own seed end up in the organic waste bin often enough- cucurbitarcin alarm! All other pumkins we had this year are for Halloween, and next year I will have to buy pumpkin seed at the shop. No more experimenting with our health, I promise!
Tomorrow will be Krautwickler day, daughters only favourite dish which is not Korean, and Saturday morning it´s early shift again, then taking care of Cassian and Flavius. I almost missed that on Sunday grandchild number five will have his first birthday! Has it really been that long?
