From cold to even colder to outright scary
My friend and I tried to have a nice evening. Only that her flat feels even colder than our rooms. She has called the caretaker twice, and he did come, but was not yet able to solve the heating problem. Tomorrow a heating engineer will come and have a look- the neighbours one floor down do not have any problems, but the last floor, especially friend´s flat, does not get enough warm water into the radiators. It was so chilly that I left early and sat next to the fire at home to warm up then went to bed. There was a spider on the wall, one of the big black ones. No clue how it made it into the bedroom- we have insect nets on those windows which will open up for maybe ten minutes a day. I think the beast came up from the basement! Hubby put it into a glass and chucked it out into the cold. Hopefully it won´t come back in! I so hate (fear) spiders!
I got up early, because I had chores to do. At eleven in the morning it was still cold outside, zero degrees only, so I had to scrape the frozen windows of the car first. I went to Aldi for groceries (and a lot more of things I had not even intended to buy). The way back home did take considerably more time, because a car did an almost-dive into the river next to the street. Then to a newsagency for the monthly zines (one home, one garden) and back home it was, just in time to cook rice for the lunch I had prepared in the morning. I have to admit that we had lunch later than usual. Not my fault- hubby is on a save-energy trip at the moment. He removed the rice not yet ready from the hotplate, turned the heat off and thought that the coconut chicken would warm up nicely this way. Well, it didn´t! And neither did the rice cook through. At two in the afternoon I did fix hubby´s faults.
Oscar´s birthday present arrived in the afternoon. Hubby was fast asleep on the sofa, so I had to answer the doorbell. There are days when I really, really love Amazon. I know, it could be worse- our postmen do not even ring the bell, they put a notification into the mailbox and you can fetch your parcel in town. They do it each time, no matter how angry the clients will be- especially when they have been at home at the time of non-delivery yet got the notification ´You were not at home when we rang so you ...´
Another free evening for me today, hubby will be off to a concert again. Dear me, I just had a look at the TV programme- dreadful, as always! It´s about time to get me a Netflix account for more choices!
