More autumnal laziness

 To overcome my weaker self is harder than I'd thought, especially now that there's two of us in the same condition- daughter and I have both fallen for autumn blues. While hubby is up and running most of the day, doing additional work all around when he is not biking, we two ladies are sulking along. We did clear out three drawers in the kitchen, we went through some shoe boxes and gifted one bag of clothes we did not like anymore to the local second hand shop, but most of the time got spent with having coffee and doing crossword puzzles. It was too cold for me to be out in the garden- we made it to nine degrees only, and my winter clothing's still in boxes. After impromptu cooking (pork and mushrooms Chinese style) daughter left, and I had a long after-lunch nap, while hubby tried to bring our gas heating to do what it's supposed to do. Took him quite a time to get both pumps running! Later in the afternoon hubby drove me to the car repair shop, where I picked my car up from service. Had been there for two days- even repair shops haven't car mechanics enough to work more quickly!
Tomorrow late afternoon it's Oscar and Xaver time again. Oscar wants to show us what he wants for Christmas. Has never done so before- the boy is maturing quickly! Poor guy- seems that he will have to spend Christmas at some high price kids hotel, when all he wants is stay at home and play with his presents. But that's DiL number one- the more expensive a hotel the better. Well, as long as the family can afford it...
