noadvertising T'was a nice, warm day with lots of sunshine. Idiot neighbour number one woke me at 5:30, I climbed my stepstool and watched him going along the vegetable beds, clunking his shovel against the frames. Nice sound I must say! I was ready to wring the fool's neck but went back to bed instead and slept until eight, when vice mayor finally let her grandchildren loose to let them search for Easter eggs. Honestly, I missed not having Elsa with us- for about half an hour, just as long as Charlotte and Constanze were jubilating at each new found. Then I was glad that we had a quiet Easter until lunch at son's, which turned out busy, as always. We had liver in bread dough and filled tomatoes, beef and lamb with Parmesan potatoes, dumplings, green and white asparagus and green beans with bacon plus baklava and strawberry tarte with coffee. After lunch everybody sat down and rested- too much to eat! We went into the garden then and I got lectured about deer invading the vegetable beds and ticks all around in the grass. I still wonder how sis and I survived our youth in our grandma's garden with all the vermin looming in the grass and on the trees- Cassian and Flavius had to wear long-sleeved shirts and long trousers plus wellies and both got sprayed with insect repellant to fend off the ticks...
We came back home at six, and first thing I did was ignore sis's call. She wrote that she'd try again around eight. No, family life is not easy for me, because there's too much of family sometimes!
Daughter mine will finally be able to visit sis in her flat now- her school nemesis (the one who bought the flat above sis's) will play ice hockey in Graz next season. Those two meeting in the house might have ended in another duel of shouts. They managed to do so in school for eight years straight. Not exactly a romantic relationship!
I was resting then and realised that now the best time of the year is upon me- the time of the ribbitting frogs- just heard the first one outside in neighbour's huge pond. Those little buggers can be quite loud, yet I think the sound somewhat calming, just like the sound of the church bells tolling for the resurrection service, around midnight, when I was in bed already...
