Yummy- mealworms!

noadvertising Today I prepared snacks for the birds and hung them and those I bought in the shops onto the trees. Okay, all save for the coconut filled with seeds and mealworms, that was hubby´s job- the sight of the worms made me shudder! One hour later our tree was under siege, haven´t seen so many birds in our garden for a long time, even though the weather was cold and very rainy all of a sudden. Mealworms must be a treat for them! Huzzah, I have opened a gourmet restaurant for birdies!
At least the cold will back off until long after Christmas. Sunshine, temperatures up to ten degrees, no rain (and naturally no snow). I do not care, one of the few things we can´t change is the weather. At least I hope so.
We had clean-the-house day this morning. Not that I was ecstatic about dusting and wiping the floor and cleaning the kitchen fronts, but baking is mostly finished (now I am sitting on a mountain of walnuts no one needs) and there also won´t be more wreath-doing and the like, so a proper cleaning was in order. I do not want to scare visitors off by the help of stray fir needles and sticky surfaces. BTW, I managed to make the power button of the dishwasher so sticky that it did not work properly anymore- hubby was not amused, because he had been the one to carefully clean it. I also wrote a shopping list for hubby. He wants to do a tour over the border on Friday, because Lidl sells Kerrygold for 1,29 euro. If he does not start the trip before eight in the morning I might join him- early showers are highly overrated anyway! Hubby was off to number two in the afternoon, while I was still knitting (instead of having my daily after-lunch nap). I got bored after a while, dressed properly (one should not leave the house in a jump suit) and left for stores to buy things I need for Christmas cooking. Also bought more magazines with crossword puzzles. Wow, I got gifted with a small Christmas present in the shop: beer, gingerbread, band-aid and freebies. What a combo!
