Perigee moon- who cares?

 For days all newspapers here have been writing about the upcoming supermoon. Impossible not to watch it, go, get your view and take a photo! So I went outside, took a look, oh, there's the moon, looks as always, darn it's so cold, let's go back inside. No photos taken, not sure then if I picked up a cold. I definitely don't remember such a Let's have a look campaign for a piece made of iron, rock and moondust. But watching the moon in the cold did have consequences, unwanted ones: My nose was running all day long. I won´t die of a sneeze, at least I hope so. Bad enough that I forgot about my ficus, which has died for real- we had minus two during night and I did not bring the plant into the cover of the carport- the leaves were quite mushy when I found it. Will go into the organic waste bin tomorrow. Hubby had a lot of ice scraping to do, when he left for the insurance office this morning. But only after the chimney sweepers had finished their job. One of them had been at our house a few days ago, and son, who had opened the door, first thought that his cousin had come for a visit, so lookalike those two are. BTW: Sis called to tell me that her husband is in hospital- he did a tumble, sustained a laceration and got a pacemaker as a result. Sis is very worried, because his blood results did not come out clean, doctors suspect he has been suffering from untreated borreliosis and is on antibiotics now.
I had to reorganize some furnishings in the conservatory to make jigsawing easier. Apparently not easy enough, because I found a few pieces only. Will have to call daughter to the rescue, before Advent is here and she will be working again. In the late afternoon I dressed for shopping- I needed tissues and some toiletry. Also bought Grippostad and nosedrops at the apothecary- why is it that each time family number three is here Grippostad, nosedrops and Gaviscon for gastric protection are suddenly gone?
In the early evening husband mine noticed that we were close to zero degrees and made a run for the tarp in the garage, to cover the plants on the terrace. I think he is right, three out of four are not made for such temperatures. I know it´s November already, but all the last years the plants came in only towards the end of the month, and mostly because I was fed up with waiting for the real cold to drop. This year is a strange one here, with too warm days (not enough of them) and more cold than usual. I dread the upcoming winter...
