Fuzzy socks- what the...
Apr. 23rd, 2026 05:14 pm Today I got up at ten to seven, sneaked out of the bedroom, went down to the living room and sat on the sofa, putting on the cosy Slytherin socks daughter had gifted me once. For good measure I also put slippers on- the tiled floor feels icy to one's feet. Outside we had zero degrees- but the daily wrote that our spring has been too warm so far. Says who? My inner temperature sensors definitely tell otherwise! Heating does the same- we turned it off last week but fire the wood stove every day in the late afternoon, mark you, not in the evening, when people gather around the TV and want to feel cosy. Yesterday (a day with lots of sunshine but meagre temperatures) it was 19 degrees in the living room at five in the afternoon. Not enough for me and husband mine! Of course, we are getting old, but...
Hubby worked all morning on the protective screen. I have to say that it looks good, and since he bought a wooden beam to strengthen the frame even I am sure that it will work. If only hubby would do his calculations of what he needs for building more coordinated, so that three-time trips (per day) could be avoided. Oh well, one cannot have everything!
After lunch I turned the dishwasher on for a cleaning programme which will also eliminate the dreaded ants inside. I wiped the kitchen fronts, put away all things that might contain sugar. And then we waited- main visiting time for ants is always the early afternoon, when the sun warms this part of the house. There were definitely less visitors- maybe the ant bait brought about an effect! Was about time! My phone beeped to tell me that my orders had arrived in the shop, so I drove into town (the bigger one), picked everything up, noticed that they had a nice collection of yarns and took a picture, to show it to Flavius on Saturday. Maybe he likes the colours, then I will do a summer shirt for him. If there will be a proper summer this year- I vividly remember last year´s July with exactly four days with frolicking in the pool. The rest got spent with freezing inside the house...
