I thought I'd use the Tyr icon again

Just because I haven't used it for quite a while.

Today was... a bit hasty. I planned to do a certain amount of crafting but had barely begun when the blind lady from the flat opposite ours came with some problem. That in itself isn't a problem, both Mum and I are happy to help; as Mum used to be a book-keeper for more than half a century, neighbours come and ask her from time to time. No, the problem is that the lady in question has the frustrating custom of telling everything twice and thrice and four times... So, everything that could have been discussed in five minutes usually takes half an hour. *sigh*

I finished the part I had planned for today nonetheless, but it meant that my entire schedule got off-kilter and I had to give up the precious half-hour of napping I usually do in the afternoon. There is something so peaceful in napping while the sun shines through the half-lowered blinds. Well, no napping was done today. But at least we managed to go for a walk with Mum, which is important to build up her strength again. Elections are next month, and she's adamant to go and give her vote in person. ;))

Not much else happened today. I made Topfenknödel for lunch (we have it once a week), we watched some telly, and now I'm going to do some research on airports in Toronto and San Francisco, respectively, for the epilogue of "Kindred Spirits".

Elections?
What are the chances of the current government being re-elected?

Very high. But we'll do what we can, even from a lost position.

Go mom!

She takes her rights and duties as a responsible citizen very seriously. ;)

Haha Chris tends to do that. Wow do I have to curb my impatience sometimes!

Such people can drive me up the walls. Live is too short to have one's time wasted like that.

The older I get, the less patience I have, especially with long-winded conversation. Glad to see you were still able to get your writing in, and had a fairly productive day. I feel for you on the nap, I also love to nap during the day with the sun peeping through the blinds.

Isn't it a pleasant thing?

Your Mum is a real trouper. I hope I am as much of fighter as she is when I reach her age.

That is almost word for word what I was thinking :)

She is a tough cookie indeed. Grandma was the same. I hope I've inherited a little bit of that, despite the gene pool having been diluted for two generations in-between.

My mother always told me to be patient with older people, because they take way longer than young ones to talk about things. Now I am the one who tells things twice to my daughter, who is more patient than I have been then! Hubby is even worse- he will tell you things thrice...
