Repair work finished
Oct. 2nd, 2025 05:41 pm Hubby did the hopefully final repair work on the heating with daughter dearest assisting him- he finally has learned his part and knows when better stay off his wife, who might have his head if the repair work went wrong again. No droplets of water coming out of one of the valves this time, and it better stay this way!
I fulfilled daughter´s biggest cooking wish after she had to eat so much (raw) fish. A simple recipe, yet I hate having to do it: Krautsuppe. Hubby bought minced meat in the morning, while I chopped white cabbage, onions and carrots- lots of it, because I will freeze two boxes for number four and five for later use. The house smells of cabbage now- acceptable, contrary to the stench of cooked cauliflower, if that darn vegetable would make it into our house... Smell might stay for a while, because I only did a short airing today- it´s only six degrees outside. We had two guest cats today, both coming inside to warm up for a short while. Apparently it was too cold outside even for cats...
Daughter also helped to fill another cardboard box with flower vases and a tea service I don´t need anymore, and hubby loaded the boxes into his car and brought it to the parish community centre for tomorrow´s flea market. I still don´t know if I will do a visit. On the one hand I´d love to search for a plant propagator, on the other hand I do not want to get up early and spend time outside in the cold. Will have to ask Amazon first how much they charge for a new, pretty one. BTW: I had ordered three things on Amazon. Two of them, the ones for crafting with the boys, have arrived three days ago. The one which should have arrived first of all came today, delivered by our postal service. That pretty much says it all...
Strange thing when daughter is here is that I will not do an after-lunch nap. The two of us will sit in front of the TV, watch some doku and have fun with the participants. Today we got a very red-headed, very old Greek archaeologist who talked as if the lot of us were mentally retarded. I did not even know that sweet daughter mine was able to be so cruel when searching for nicknames for this lady (because that´s what we do at such occasions).
And just when I booted Ashmael to browse Amazon DiL called to tell me that my fig tree will arrive this evening. My fig tree? I did not even know that I wanted another one, since the one I had died during summer! My guess is that DiL´s relatives sent her a fig, but son told his wife that he did not need more trees in the garden. That´s why I have to plant it. Poor hubby, now he will have to dig a hole, but only if I find a place for the fig. Our garden is a small one, too!
