noadvertising This morning I got up at eight, had a look at the weather forecast and a good laugh afterwards, because it said thunderstorm at eight, strong winds during day, rain. We are at four in the afternoon now: no thunderstorms, no wind, not a single drop of rain. This weather forecast I chose because it´s supposed to meet the specific location. I do not want a prediction for the hydracephalus of our country which is called Vienna. Vienna is far away (luckily) and always has weather different from ours- Pannonian climate, though boundaries are fluent in times of climate change.
Hubby had left the house around ten in the morning to pick the boys up. I did not check, I only noticed that at one point he was off because I had a spa day. Aromatic shower, a selfdone massage with jasmine oil, hair cure, manicure. I did a lot of reading and resting then, finally, tried out the Parmesan potatoes I found in the reels. Warmed the frozen, pre-cooked turkey and did a makeshift sauce with herbs from the garden. Since the winters are so warm there´s always thyme, sage and oregano at hand plus some other herbs. Potatoes turned out fabulous and will get a repeat more often, even hubby was impressed- mostly because it had been I who had found that reel. Usually it´s he who ploughs through those recipes...
The car show was a hit for the boys and included a warm meal (sponsored by hubby) and bread baking, so the trip lasted longer than expected. We had a late lunch, after hubby brought grandsons back home, heroically fending off Cassian´s attempts at getting to our house. Sorry, but the boys are supposed to be with us next Friday, though son surely won´t do the drive to Vienna to help his wife with dismantling her paintings (and bring them to Salzburg for the next exhibition in April) with his left arm in a cast.
In the afternoon I decided to change the beddings and turn the washing machine on- the next days are supposed to be rainy ones, which might dampen my energy for doing chores even more. Then I beat and afterwards dragged in the rugs, which had been airing for days now, vacuumed them and sprayed them with insect repellant. Won´t do so again- I had to do a lot of coughing during the act. More reading got done, then a neighbour called and invited me over. Maybe she wants to apologise for the trouble in form of her grandson, who does driving training in our private street. People better keep children and cats inside the next weeks...
