Tonight daughter and I saw a young fox and a marten next to the street. Pretty animals, pretty nosy and not as shy as expected. I slept a tad longer and missed Miss Sassy's first visit since the beginning of December- that's the white cat with red dots that had come each morning, until one day she did not come anymore. Hubby told that he opened the blinds and the terrace door, and in she walked, as if she'd never been away. Daughter will be delighted!
My car was at the repair shop for the changing of tyres this morning. Hubby brought it there and did not come back for a while, because he had to run some errands. A lot of them, if one considers the remaining fuel in the tank. Which reminded me of an article in the daily, which almost made me choke on my breakfast sandwich. Here e-cars are allowed to circumvent the occasional 100km/h (pollution control) on some motorways. Only that they don't. Because then the driver would have to do loading earlier. That's exactly why number three sold his e-car. He cannot afford to stop twice when going between our house and theirs. Same goes for him journeying between St. Pölten and Linz. Concerning the first he has two children who won't tolerate a longer trip, the second he has to do more often. Now I wonder what the parents will do with their children next year, when they intend to spend summer vacation at their friends, who live in Finland next to the Russian border, so a flight to get there will be necessary. Then agains, considering the triste political situation they might reconsider their 1choice of destination!
Today´s afternoon got a bit hectic. We had lunch at the usual time (no cooking, leftovers !!!), hubby fetched the boys from afternoon care, but Cassian had to finish homework with me- he never does finish while in afternoon care. That´s when I noticed that the boy´s pencil case was coming apart. Hubby took the boys out to buy a new one. Meanwhile I did more ant hunting, cleaned the microwave, sis came for a visit together with her ailing husband, They had been at our local hospital, because BiL needs a hip replacement. He will get one in July- exceedingly fast for our country! Sis stayed until five, and when she wanted to leave she had to wait a bit longer, because the street was blocked- the felled trees got collected on a truck, which blocked the whole street. Husband mine told me that they, too, had to wait when they were leaving. And once again, when they returned from shopping. Bleak prospects if one bears in mind that soon the old house and the garages will get demolished...
