No big news today
Jan. 20th, 2024 06:42 pm Not much got done today, it was as if hubby and I were frozen, and indeed, we still are- it´s minus five already and will get even colder. Good thing is that today has been the last day of permanent frost, from tomorrow on it will get warmer, and next week we will get a wintry heat wave, as weather forecast told us. Wintry and heat wave sounds fun, but yes, we will get up to twelve degrees, should weather comply with the forecast! That´s good, because I am done with winter! But the warm temperatures will come at a price- strong winds alarm for the next week!
Not the tiniest bit of cooking got done today- we still had noodles from yesterday, when hubby and I did not finish our lunch in the cold but took it home, plus salmon sandwiches and a huge slice of the birthday cake our neighbour gave us to take home with us- the guests had eaten, but only a bit. The only talk one heard was about diet and fitness centres! Cake was awesome- done by the lady´s granddaughter, who is a professional confectioner. At least, this young lady does an excellent job, while the confectioner we had ordered our cakes from does not. And this one is not exactly cheap...
When hubby was off yesterday evening, I did the first rows of the new throw- 212 stitches each row! It takes a long time to get from one end to the other! But there´s always hope- while there will be no going back now that I have done the ten rows of the border, I do not have to do the whole length but can stop when the throw is big enough for the couch. Of course, it has to be as long as it´s wide, but it does not have to be a blanket for cuddly hours, it´s simply to veil the not so perfect fabric of the sofa- got a bit worked on aka clawed by late Namo and Vaire. Oh dear, it´s almost a year now that we live in a cat-free household! But hubby and daughter are already training neighbour´s Schnuckele (no clue the real name of this cat)- she looks like late Tuxedo cat and spends a lot of time on the table on the terrace, just as Tux did. And she loves the goodies she gets from daughter and hubby. Now if only she´d start to love me, too, but no, the moment it´s me who opens the door she´s off...
Oh, almost forgot- Oscar sent me a message this afternoon: Hello grandma, want to tell you that I made it into the study class of my choice in grammar school!
That´s splendid news, because to this study class only 30 students get accepted each year!
