Raining along nicely
Jun. 27th, 2024 05:52 pm It started to drizzle around four in the morning, and it still was raining, though harder now, when I got up at eight. That's not what weather forecast told us, or I would not have agreed to a trip beyond the border- farther than usual, because a friend and I wanted to do a nice brunch at the shores of Lake Chiemsee. Of course, we did cancel and will wait for a better day in the near future! All morning long it was only 19 degrees outside, which was the same temperate we had had during night, and the humidity in the air felt uncomfortable. Of course, after we had cancelled the trip, rain ended. We got a bit of sun and definitely warmer temperatures. While I was at odds with having to stay at home again, hubby got a message from DiL number two- he was to pick both boys up, because she had spontaneously decided to attend a culture panel at one in the afternoon. There we have it- from now on it´s a take-them, whenever DiL wants. Twenty minutes after the call hubby was on his way to pick the boys up then bring DiL to town.
During lunch we got the first thunderstorm of the day. More did follow. At least it did not rain as hard as yesterday. In the afternoon there was the angry sound of a chainsaw to be heard, and off was the huge monkey puzzle tree, which had decided to die a sudden death this spring. It´s a real shame, that tree had been so stately to look at! No clue why it died, but it cannot be for the lack of water, because we had plenty of it during the cold season! problem was that the tree fell into the pond, and the landscapers had a hard time to get it out and cut it to bits. A lot of swearing was involved in the process! I was amused, when Cassian stood on the balcony, listening to the swearwords and replacing the bad ones with Schubert. A lot of schubert was to be heard on his part, but I am pretty sure that he also memorised the uncensored version!
At five we gave our grandchildren yogurt and cookies then hubby brought them home. Their dad was a bit consternated at being the one again who had to take care of the boys after working hours. At least there was still shorba for dinner, so he did not have to cook this time. And yes, he has to do it at least twice a week and is not amused...
