Day one with Voldadol

 It´s definitely not a bout of rheumatism but `tendinitis`. Gets worse when I do crocheting and the like. I wandered off to Voltadol, but, of course, no handiworks at the moment. At this rate the throw might be finished next year. In all honesty, that was the dead line for the second throw I intend to do. Does not look like as if this will happen...
Sister has invited herself and her family into our home on Sunday. Definitely not funny, because this will be a day of driving back and forth between daughter´s flat and our house. I know daughter mine, which means that I am aware that one drive will never do, because essential things for her journey to Korea and Japan will still be at her flat when her suitcase waits to get packed at our house. She is chaotic, and husband mine will be all too willing to drive her, as long as he is able to escape sister mine and her husband. That´s absolutely unfair, since it´s me then who has to do all the talking, and sister mine is not so different from the Spanish Inquisition. Daughter also is not that much interested meeting her aunt, since stupid sister of mine thought if funny to try to bring her niece and her archenemy from school days together, mostly to take personal advantage. Had the young man and his father twice over for help. Yup, that´s my sister to a T. Even if she looks like a hardy woman- she is a master at delegating work she is supposed to do herself to others. Hubby is able to tell a thing or two about that! I had a good laugh when I learned that archenemy will spend the ice hockey season in his new flat in Graz instead of Salzburg and will rent out his flat here- I sincerely hope to a family with two or more kids, would serve sister well!
Since I am a bit handicapped at the moment not much got done today. I studied the crocheting instruction for the throw- it´s an easy one I choose for re-entering the world of crocheting. Did clean the bathroom on the upper floor- not perfectly, but still. Cooked mango-chicken- curry for lunch and stole the only chillie we got this year- the one hubby wanted for dinner, which is mostly cold cuts and bread (and chillies apparently) here. Had a long nap after lunch, did find exactly eight pieces in the jigsaw then waited for daughter´s arrival. Well, she came, but too late for helping with the darn jigsaw of doom- it was already too dark thanks to the sh.. weather we have. It had been clouded all day long, but in the afternoon heavy rain was back, and temperatures, which were acceptable till then dropped again. Now we are down to eighteen, but there´s more cold to come. Plus we got a storm warning, came out of the blue, which meant that hubby and I had to clear the terrace of things that might fly off, which were many...
