noadvertising It´s not that I did get up late- no one will be able to sleep on with Konstanze´s war cries resounding for five minutes (if we are lucky, her daily tantrum can take even longer). But while hubby was up and running from the beginning I took my time to get started. Had a long breakfast, did a sudoku and a crossword puzzle while having an additional cup of coffee, and only then I felt the need for dressing and starting the day by putting a third layer of wax onto the bench and the table surface. Also did the backside of the bench, but only after having killed a giant spider living in my euphorbia. Hubby did the windows and clipped off the arrid branches of the big brother of the spider-infested plant, then the bench was put into its original place. Hubby went to shower, I dressed for shopping. Came back with a load of Japanese products but did not get the surimi I need for gimbap. Hell, twenty years ago even small shops has surimi in supply, and now it´s rather hard to find.
No cooking today, hubby found two more jars of those infamous peppers filled with gambas. No after-lunch nap got held but I added three rows to the throw. Seriously, I will need more wool, four balls at least! Which means that another trip over the border will have to happen soon. I won´t tell this to the friend I will meet tomorrow, or she will want to accompany me, even though I do not want to be accompanied. Eagerly awaiting tomorrow´s meeting in a coffee shop, where friend will order the standard iced coffee Vienneses style (with vanilla ice cream and lots of whipped cream- ugh!) while I will have iced coffee Italian style (cold coffee over ice cubes) and cake maybe. Of course, it will be me again to pay the bill- said friends tends to make a run for the toilet as soon as I utter a word about payment. It´s not that I can´t afford paying the bill for the two of us, but this gets annoying in time :(
Today I sent a Whatsapp message to daughter dearest, to warn her that my bank (which is hers, too) will have heavily reduced possibility of payment by card and withdrawal of money. Funny that this is even possible in modern times! Imagine, 24 hours of being unable to get into your account...
Two more days of summer, and then autumn will swamp the land with very autumnal temperatures (about twelve degrees)- and no functional heating in the house. Hubby looked into his mails- order in progress. I fear it will take some time before the new radiator will arrive at our house. Good that there is electric heating in the studio and a wood stove in the living room!
