And on Saturday, we laboured as usual

[wiseheart]

Actually, it wasn't that bad, not really. Okay, we had laundry day as always, but other than that I mostly worked on my little oven mitts. What made the day a bit hectic was that one of the channels chose to run the 2020 season of TGBBO - the only one we haven't seen before. Which means we spent about 3 hours in front of the telly, starting at 8.45am, trying to squeeze as much housework into the commercial breaks as humanly possible - which is, TBH, not very much. Consequently, we were late for everything and opted to eat scrambled eggs for lunch because they took the least time to prepare. *g*

Mum then spent some time with doing the washing-up, while I emptied Louise the Older (the washing machine), hung up the clothes to dry and stitched away on my mitts like a woman obsessed. The usual madness in our house, now that the extra madness (=insulation) is more or less finished.

The weather has turned around again; while it was nice and warm in the early afternoon, it is decidedly cold right now, so I had to put on a few extra layers of clothing. This is the time when you're cooked alive during the day and freeze hard during the night, since heating won't start until October 15 - when, I'm sure, it will be nice and warm again. Fun, fun, fun.

It's a good thing that we are the 'lords of our heating'! I am not a person who likes to wear winter clothing in early autumn. Not that we need it just now, we may be down to twelve in the morning, but- unbelievable- we are up to 25, 26 during day! Where were those temperatures when we neede them most? And I love the name of your washing machine!

I had to make a distinction, since my 20cmx20cm sewing machine is called Louise, too. Louise the Younger, because she's not only much smaller but also at least a decade younger. *g*

Come to think about it, I never gave our vacuum cleaner a name...
