Spooky night
Oct. 29th, 2023 06:51 pm ...and it's not even Halloween. Matthäus's health turned from a bit snuffy to sick in the evening. His howling kept the house awake until one in the morning, when he finally fell asleep for three hours, before he started howling anew. Family number three left at eight, to get to their doctor in time. Hubby and I have our life back, even though aunt Lil will stay with us until tomorrow. But aunt Lil is nice, quiet and ready to help. Plus she finally had time to clear her wardrobe out- three bags of pretty clothing for a flea market. Family number three is composed of two princesses, one professional howler and a grumpy husband. No wonder, he has to keep up with the other three day in, day out. I'd get grumpy, too. I did not hear more of them, until I pinned son and got the answer HFMD. Just as I had thought and had told DiL. Family number one and three will be delighted, because their offspring have been in close contact with Elsa and Matthäus.
Halloween party was a success, not only for the children but food-wise also- not the tiniest bite was left, after family two and a friend had gone back home. Son had made the best spooky meatballs I ever ate. His wife I was able to convince that she'd better do the volcano cakes on Tuesday, when the children would do trick or treat with hubby- if they are able to. Two friends will join us at the impromptu mini party. Cassian will be allowed to stay overnight, but he must not forget his Hasi. For weeks he has been talking about ghosts and witches, but the nearer the day of Halloween came the more he needed his best friend to fend those ghosts off during night!
Today was a day for resting. I only did a beef broth with vegetables and semolina dumplings for lunch, did a few rows of crocheting and did not lose any stitches this time. Tomorrow it´s up to a new pattern, let´s see how this one will work out! Then there´s the thing with daughter´s jumper, the one that still needs repair work. It´s a case of self-affirmation, that I am able to do this job. It would have been cheaper and less strenuous to buy a new jumper, but it´s too late now! Since the conservatory is cleared for needlework, I sent daughter down to spread the piece of work on the table- from Friday on the weather seems to take a turn for the worse, so I will better continue this project on the last sunny days!
