Yay!

 Hubby will be off this evening. He spends a lot of money for festival tickets this summer. Then again, I get free time at home, which is good for my frayed nerves. Today I got up a tad late, skipped breakfast and did grocery shopping instead in the morning- necessary to get special offers, since two supermarkets here are closed because of renovation, yet horrible at the same time, because the shop was overrun by tourists who wanted the same! It was even hard to find a parking space! I did a quick tour across the shop for salmon, shrimps and a Greek galatopita and was glad to be out again. Sky was grey, indicating there might be rain soon. Not that it hadn´t rained during night, but it had been a steady drizzle only. At home I quickly harvested the cornelian cherries, which we call Dirndl here. So few this year! I will keep them in the fridge until next week then do some spicy relish I will put them into, together with the chillies I got from DiL. Hubby has already offed all tomatoes- how can one person eat so much of this fruit! After lunch- peppers with prawns, which hubby had found in the storage room in the basement- I went to the bedroom to take a nap. Still no rain, but it had cooled down considerably. At three I woke a bit disorientated- ah, this was the telltale sound of heavy rain, the sort of which might make it into the conservatory. We were lucky- this time rain stayed outside. I continued with the jigsaw and- miracles happen- found at least twenty pieces. Twenty! That´s a new record for me with this jigsaw of doom! Soon after it was too dark to continue and I had two more cups of coffee to stay awake. Not a chance that I will waste those precious hours, when hubby is away and I will be in charge of the TV programme or find a movie on Amazon Prime to watch...

The candy cardigan- I forgot to take pictures, and son is not a talented snapper. The summer top is in the washing machine at the moment, pictures will follow soon...
