Cleaning bug? No, thanks!
Mar. 30th, 2026 06:43 pm I got up earlier, went back to bed after four again- and left it for good at seven thirty. Postman brought an official letter with the summarized record of the hearing at eight in the morning. To get it I had to sign- not funny when one is still wearing a dressing gown! But at that time I felt energised and started project clean-the-shelves with soap water for the wood and a feather duster for the books. After the first shelf I was ready to give up. I was sneezing like a pro, when I pulled out the lowest row of books, the one which gets dusted less than the upper ones (because I hate kneeling). But I managed all six book shelves. I am so proud! By then energy had puffed out and I switched to proof-reading. As I said- not my favourite occupation. Hubby was off at that time, but came back for lunch, which was Grenadiermarsch. Thats a mixture of leftovers- in our case noodles, a dumpling, roasted pork combined with roasted onions and gravy. After lunch I rested, but hubby brought a picture frame to DiL. He came back livid. Cassian is not exactly a star when it comes to school. We now know why- instead of practising German dictations his mother lets him write Romanian sentences. On top of that some letters get written differently... I think a talk with number two is overdue!
I went into another battle with my mobile. Today it ignored my request to show the downloads, which I wanted to put into a new folder on my PC. Eventually they showed up, and I started to weed them. Oh dear, where do all those Tolkien characters come from? I had one laughing fit after another. Most of the pictures I was not even able to match with a character. There were the ones who looked like elves fed with saccharine- those went straight into the bin. Then came the ones who were supposed to picture valar (at least I think so). I was not sure why they looked like participants of the paralympics- does being valar imply blindness, because none of the characters had eyes that qualified as- eyes? Spooky! Hence with it! Lastly there were those elves apparently hand-picked by Peter Jackson. Those looked like participants of a cosplay- dead ugly, just like the ones Jackson found in NZ.
I think I offed two thirds of the downloads but had lots of fun doing so. Did not even notice how cold it was in the studio- 17 degrees only! No wonder that I always wake freezing during night! I turned the PC off at seven and had a look out of the window- yup, it's snowing again. Nlt much, but still! At two degrees. I so love spring!
