Lazy, lazier, laziest

 While husband mine was puttering around all day long, doing this for some minutes, doing that, being a pain in the rear to me, because that man cannot even dust without making loud noises, I was contemplating why I seem to fall out of the bed at exactly six thirty each day (grandma, the sun is up?). All that while husband mine not so softly snores until eight (that alone can keep all with sane hearing from sleeping) then wonders why his wife is tired later in the morning. I was not completely unproductive, but there should be more activities happening on my side. At least I stripped the guestbed in the studio and cleaned the bed drawer, turned the washing machine on and even hung the washing. Brr, it was cool outside! We already have that strange pale yellow sunlight which comes with early autumn. Now that family number three will come next week and number four, too, I thought this week completely free of familiar trouble. Far from it! I did not forget about sis´s birthday, congratulated her at six thirty in the morning. That must have been a sign that I was recuperated already, and she called. And called again. And again. I mean, who sells a shoe cabinet on her own birthday, and even less, when it´s not yet disassembled! Hubby told her which gadgets to use but otherwise put her off, because he had a date with number one´s second oldest- that boy is seven and can´t cycle. Oh dear! To avoid the Oscar scenario (our oldest grandson had to take on hubby to get cycling lessons at the age of nine, to accomplish the cycling exam) hubby will bring Xaver to the playground and do daily exercising with the lad. At least he will be away from his mum for a while!
After cooking lunch- pork with coconut-mango sauce- I finally managed to fend off a former student´s attempt at getting into our house. She agreed to try for it next week. I so love her! After a short rest I went down and knitted. I have been searching for the sleeve´s length I need, to no avail first. I needed the inner length, and when I finally found a useful size chart the sleeve seemed too big in my opinion. That´s why I will seam up the cardigan first then decide how to procede. The good news is that the wool will be enough for finishing. Thank God that I haven´t ordered more, but only because of the long wait for delivery.
Another good thing: bamboo is almost gone, the outer parts at least. From tomorrow on I can start with killing the beast for good and all. There´s a collection of toxins and acid I intend to use on the rootstock. Some of it not legal, but I do not give a ...., that darn bamboo has to go, before the first neighbours will complain. No stolons, my ....! And with most of the bamboo gone I found a yew growing amidst the mess! Where did this one come from! One of the neighbours has one, maybe birds did spread it the way birds do! I think I will cut it to shape as a replacement for the privacy shield the bamboo provided us with...
