 This morning I woke late. Hubby was already off on his bike to free Samsung and Sony, so I put plates and all ingredients for a Viennese breakfast on the table then cleared the dishwasher out. I had intended to have another breakfast on the terrace, because at that time wasps usually aren´t interested in what is on my plate. Seems that rather like me they are late sleepers! Just when I had put ham and cheese onto my roll all hell broke loose- two giant dragonflies had done a catch-me-if-you-can and had landed in the living room, where they continued chasing after each other. Hubby was reduced to a blubbering heap of male ineptitude, before he went into battle mood, brandishing two brandnew flyswatters in pink and neon green. I have to admit that now it was me who was flabbergasted and even more upset, because my mobile was still resting at my side of the marital bed. Oh, what a video I could have made filming what was going on on the ground floor! I was torn between hysterical laughter and cries of horror- the latter because husband mine did not even stop swatting after the dragonflies when in the TV partition of the living room- he did not hurt the TV but managed to kill one of those delicate glass rods of the art nouveau hanging lamp there. Dragonflies finally made a beeline out of the house, and I was very glad that son of mine had transferred his hunting guns to his own house. There are moments I am so very tempted to do shooting attempts...
Otherwise the day was quiet and a bit boring. We never made it into the thirties plus it was very windy, so even a pool with sufficiently warm water did not attract me as much as it had done the last days. I almost finished one of the books I started reading a long time ago. Tomorrow it will join its siblings on the way to a book box. I won´t keep books which are hard to read because the print is too small. That´s the most appealing feature of ebooks- I am able to adjust the type size to my liking!I did change the bedding, because I prefer it to dry outside, but weather will take a turn for the worse from Saturday on, culminating in 17 degrees on Monday. Thank you very much, but I would have preferred to keep the temperatures we have now for a bit longer! Bad enough that daylight is so much shorter already! Grr, I hate autumn coming along full speed!When hubby was off in the early evening to feed son´s cats I activated my home laser, which I had bought to contain unwanted hair along the jaw-line. So far the only success is that there´s less and less dark hair to be found- almost all white now! Not exactly what I had in mind when I bought that thing!
