February gone already?

 As I read in other journal entries these days: the days fly by, but there´s very little to write about at the end of the week. Same here, I´d say, save for the days when the grandchildren will show up. Today the postmen made me give up needlework in exchange of giving him my signature- Playmobil has sent the missing axle by registered mail. That´s so nice of them, but ordinary mail would have bee sufficient! Now Cassian can finally finish the quad bike! In the late morning the fog decided to give way to sunshine, and I pruned the mirabelle tree with hubby´s help- should have done long before, a lot of branches had to be eliminated, even though the tree is on the way to blossoming! Again no cooking-there was still soup from yesterday, and DiL has sent us sarmale for today. Not my favourite dish, but only because I do not tolerate cabbage well. But better have cabbage than have to cook, when nose is still stuffed!
I had to do extra cleaning today- tomorrow a friend will come over, to have coffee and cake with me. Technically she will have to drive ten kilometres, even though she lives straight across the river Salzach. If the both of us would go down to the water, we could wave at each other! So close and yet so far away! At the moment I am looking for an easy recipe for a quince cake, though I strongly suppose that I could use each and any recipe with apples in it. Hubby has been in a Turkish grocery shop. Hubby loves quinces. Hubby gifted me a quince tree. Quince tree does not know that hubby loves quinces and produces no fruits. Hubby has to buy quinces in a shop. This year I have not pruned this tree. Let´s see what happens now...
