Welcome to spring...
...Alpine style. Rain, heavy winds, snow, back to rain. I left the house for ten seconds maybe, when I carried waste to the dustbin, which hubby needed to bring to the main street for tomorrow's disposal. Needless to say he did it by car, not even hubby would do the walk in such a weather!
I would have loved to do some knitting, but haven't found a new project yet. Cassian's scarf will have to wait till autumn, and the knitting yarn I had set aside for a summer top for Elsa isn't to her liking- wrong colour, the young lady has switched from pink to violet. Maybe I will find yarn of this colour and mix it with the pink one. So I spent the morning with boring housework and watching TV. Oman from above was a beautiful documentary, but travelling there is unrecommended considering the current volatile political situation. After a clear-the-fridge lunch-chicken fillet with sauteed Chinese cabbage (had been dying in the vegetable drawer) on egg-rice (from the Chinese restaurant) I went to the studio and tried to convince my PC that I needed access to my WhatsApp pictures. No such luck, I thought that I'd have to wait for number one's visit next week- until hubby thought of the old way we got to our photos (once upon a time). And lo and behold, it worked! I copied two years of WhatsApp into new folders, will weed what I don't need tomorrow then start with 2024 and do the same. This way I will have a reason for staying in the house and not exposing my poor, old body to the dangers of belated winter- weather will stay wet and cold until the weekend! Then it will be cold only, a bit of improvement at least! Only that I will need to drive to a toyshop soonest, because I haven't found a present for Elsa on Amazon. Not that they don't have any, but what she likes won't be delivered in time!
