Nope, not tired yet

 After daughter´s unexpected early shift I wanted to stay in bed late- after all I had Whatsapped with daughter until 5:30. When we had left we noticed the illumination at daughter´s godmother´s house. At five daughter wrote that she just had checked in her godmother´s younger son. He was on the way to Heraklion. No wonder that they were already up at such an ungodly hour! At half past seven the sound of construction machines woke me. Hubby as well as I got up at seven, no more sleep was possible. The strange thing was that I wasn´t tired at all all day long- did housework in record time, did a drive to the supermarket for the magazines I buy regularly, experimented with lunch (the outcome was okay, and there´s less open jars in the fridge now) then continued with the jigsaw. Had to stop myself from finishing it. Daughter will be back on Wednesday and wants to do the last part of the sky. Good for me, I hate doing sky. Once again no knitting got done, the problem with the balls is still unsolved- can I have a house elf, please, who rearranges them the way I want (five times each row, please, to prevent the obligatory tangle!). Hubby has harvested the yellow chillies, which means that I will have to deseed and free them from the placenta (yes, chillies have one, too). I hate this job- I worked on a handful of red chillies for almost half an hour, touched my eye once and was crying for the rest of the day. The yellow ones aren´t as hot as the red ones, but spicy enough to cause trouble. Oh, maybe I will skip pickling altogether, because hubby has just done so with red and yellow chillies, onions and peppers- the scent alone, hot and pungent as the mixture´s ingredients, has kept me coughing all evening long, at least until hubby tore the windows open because he, too, was fed up with the smell!
BTW- there´s one day in the long row of four-in-the-morning photos missing- my mobile was still next to the bed three days ago, when I finally made it home after playing taxi once again. I was contemplating to creep into the bedroom and go down again, to take pictures of the strange, fluctuating, pink sky but dismissed the idea. Turned out that this had been the day when even in our region auroral lights had made an appearance. That´s very unfortunate but so very typical for me...
