Wine does what it says in the warning
Sep. 7th, 2025 07:35 pm I had three glasses red yesterday evening- very appreciated when having to watch a catastrophic football game performed by our national team. Best thing was when all of a sudden a player took out a piece of green and found a deep hole in the park. When someone came running with a bucket of soil I had a laughing fit, so hubby sent me to bed. We won, barely, and only by the help of a penalty wrongly given. But, oh, I slept through! Nothing did wake me, no music, no party, no cow, and most of all, no overactive bladder! Even the neighbours slept in, that's a new. There's always one ready for starting a ruckus!
Hubby intended to meet up with family number two for lunch at the fair next village. Only that DiL came home at two from meeting friends and was fast asleep all morning. So no lunch at the fair, which meant I had to cook. That woman is messing up all plans! At least hubby got his much needed after-lunch nap! It took until four in the afternoon till DiL was ready to go the fair. Hubby was off on the bike, I harvested another batch of tomatoes. Tomatoes did not do well in July in the west, where prices for local fruits went up to eight euro per kilo. Hubby must have dined on tomatoes worth a fortune- he can't live without them. Harvesting was not so easy-spiders are everywhere now, even in the tomato plants. Hate it, hate it, hate it! I have sprayed insect spray along the terrace door, so that they might consider staying outside. Hubby has vacuumed spider webs in the living room. Has to do so almost each day now- autumn is in full swing now. Just got reminded by FB that six years ago I had been bemoaning the end of the pool season, because the water had reached the critical temperature of 23 degrees. Reading this I had another laughing fit. It's been a long time that our pool water had 23 degrees, and I was in the water then, to make up for missed bathing time in July. Which might have added to the tendinitis- swimming against the counter-current system is straining!
Weather should have been sunny today, alas, the sun was not to be found most of the time. It got a bit better in the afternoon, so that temprratures went up to fabulous twenty degrees. I took my phone and sat on the terrace for reading when Whatsapp began to send
notifications- daughter sent me pictures of their karaoke night. All is well with the ladies, I hope it will stay this way!
There'll be an eclipse of the moon this evening we most likely won't be able to see. Too early in the evening, too many clouds, too many hills and mountains around to see the blood moon rising. One needs to live in a plane area to watch the spectacle. Next opportunity: December 31st, 2028. If I'm still alive then...
