No such luck
Nov. 12th, 2025 07:10 pm I have been hunting for the missing buttons all morning. Went through the drawers in the bedroom. The studio is a mess. Alas, I was not successful. How is it possible that two boxes have fallen off the face of the earth? Granted, the boxes are not hugh ones, but neither are they tiny!
Three Amazon deliverers arrived during morning, bringing rusty stars, Elsa's Advent calendar and Christmas presents. Matthäus's things are still on their way, delivered by Austrian postal service. Means that delivery will take a bit longer. We had leftovers from yesterday for lunch, but now that daughter would come (hungry, as always) I decided to try Arabian yogurt soup. What can I say...fantastic? Rice, lentils, onions and meatballs cooked in a mix of yogurt and soup, seasoned with garlic, curcuma and berbere. Hubby ate three bowls!
The boys arrived at two thirty. First thing was having Cassian finish his homework. Apparently he does not do well in after school care. And his mum does not care if he neglects homework- she still thinks that such things have to be done in school only. So either his dad takes care of the problem (if he does not work late) or there's no finished homework at all. After homework the boys had a snack, then we started to furnish the lanterns. Afterwards we did paper stars for the conservatory- a tedious affair if one has to use real glue instead of glue stick. Lasted forever and a day until the glue dried up and we were able to cut shapes. Daughter came late, too late for jigsawing- it was dark already. She, too, loved the soup. Hubby prepared cold snacks for the boys' dinner- salmon and ham sandwiches. How can it be that those two rascals always come to our home when smoked salmon is in the house? And why does hubby always offer it to them? He already must know that they'll eat most of it? I hope there's enough salmon left for daughter and me for tomorrow's breakfast. Hubby left at six to put the boys to bed. Their mum is at the opening of her next exhibition. Their dad has to work late. Daughter and I turned the TV on and will watch a doku. But only if hubby does not come back early for the next prime time crime story...
