Now that was fairly quick
As always on Ash Wednesday one of my friends sent me pictures of their company´s carnival party. This year the staff dressed as Vikings. I told her that maybe her vikings should eat less chips or grow a bit taller. Five minutes later I had three proposals for groups favouring Vikings on Facebook. I really hate it when they do this! I haven´t posted on FB in ages, only use it to have a look into LotR and Silmarillion groups with all those illustrations. Maybe I should simply delete my account and search elsewhere for pretty pictures!
Since the day started with sunshine I continued with the jigsaw but found not that many pieces. Tried again, when clouds had come up, and found even less. But our conservatory has a big plus- an electric heater, in case temperatures are too low when I want to do jigsaws. I spent a lot of time in the conservatory today! That´s because hubby´s newest activity is read the weather forecast in the morning, go down to the boiler room and adjust the temperature of the heating. I so wish that the temperatures they said we´d get will finally show up, but there´s a not so slight discrepancy between forecast and reality. It´s 20 degrees in the living room now, not exactly a temperature to feel comfortable! What´s even worse is that I just found out that the radiator in the studio is leaking. Not much, but it needs mending, which means that the heating will be totally off tomorrow morning and will stay off, until hubby has finished repair work. That´s what you get when you order designer radiators for your house- okay, happened almost thirty years ago, but the problems started soon after, when the designer was already out of business. But I have to admit, they still look nice!
No crocheting got done for three days in a row. Not proud of myself, but my fingers need some time to recover! My guess that finishing time will be around Easter might come true. Then there´s the cover for the dormer windows I want to do. As of yet I have done six squares. Will need four more, then comes the fun part- I have to improvise the slant part of the window, which is not so easy with Tunesian crocheting, because I only know the basics. Youtube to the rescue! And quick, please! It gets brighter and brighter with each passing day, but I need my beauty sleep. Especially since I woke up at four in the morning, after having been in a Severus Snape loop in my dream. That´s because when jigsawing daughter had turned Potterpuppetpals-the mysterious ticking noise on on YT, which is mind-bendingly stupid, alas, you won´t get it out of your poor brain, if you listened too often, and that´s what we have done!
