Holy sh...

 t was a very dark and cold day (two degrees), with lights on in the living room all day long. In three rooms in the house the darkness was even more impressive- those were the rooms where hubby had removed the winders of the shutters. Last Thursday the winder in the sleeping room said bye bye, blessedly after I had closed the shutter. Husband mine immediately got down to action, found two more winders on the way to imminent death and demounted them too. Then he ordered new ones from the company. And now we wait. And wait a bit more. Three rooms are in utter darkness now, one of them the bedroom. We could take the winder from number four´s room, but hubby does not want to. That man is still under the impression that our postal service (yes, the company still relies on it) is a functioning one. Which it is not. Just today I found a reader´s letter, where they complain about a death notice arriving at the recipients ten days after the funeral. That´s our postal service to a T. More likely hubby and I will spend more mornings in utter darkness, before the new winders will arrive!
Not much got done today, at least by me. Feels as if I frozen. Always does when it is cool and dark outside. Late autumn and winter is so not my season! But hubby has a new agenda- walk as much as you can with a slightly swollen ankle, then complain about your leg not getting better. How is that ankle supposed to heal when he won´t keep still? I don´t get it! I also don´t get the ribbons I want for the Advent wreath and room decorating. Apparently they sell green and silver ribbons neither in shops nor on Amazon. I will have to resort to do double bows made of green and silver ribbons. Anyone who has ever seen my bows will shudder at the sight, and now there´s two of them with each bow I will decorate with...
Once again I have a quiet evening. I spent half an hour with knitting (yes, I set a timer on my mobile, to see how far I come and the outcome was- not far, just as I had suspected) then wanted to watch a TV programme of my choice. Or maybe not- I just brought the listings magazine out. Nothing worth watching this evening. No documentary, no cooking show, but two crime thrillers I have seen twice at least. And it won´t get any better by late evening. Poor hubby, what will he do when back home from concert? No crime thriller, no classical music. It´s a shame what rubbish gets provided on TV nowadays!
