April weather

wiseheart... in the middle of May! One day it is warm like in summer, the other day - that would be today - is cold and rainy. If we could decide when we wanted the central heating to run, I'd have had it running today. Alas, the decision isn't ours. Ah, well, as long as the balcony can hold the rain out I am not complaining. There are always such things as warm clothing - or there would be if I hadn't rearranged the wardrobe in the morning as planned. Now if I want something warm to wear, I'll have to climb the ladder again. *headdesk*
Other than that it was a peaceful day. I did a lot of crafting in-between: 15 out of the 20 tiny teddies now have their gift boxes, lovingly decorated and labelled. I've decided to combine colours with names. Therefore all brown teddies are named Teddy (how original!), all purple ones are Uschi (a nickname for Ursula in German - the pink, purple and white teddies are girls), all yellow ones are Pooh (for obvious reasons), the blue ones are called Petzi (another German influence), the pink ones are Mitzi, the grey ones are Brummi and the white ones are Lilly. The names are on the label, in the same colour as the teddies - save for the white and the yellow ones that wouldn't be visible enough. *g*
Lunch was a simple affair; we had Frühlingssuppe aus der Tüte and Käsespätzle, which we both love, as well as caramel ice cream with coffee for dessert (this was in the one hour of the day when it was actually warm).
Later on my friend Ilonka called; she might have found a new cleaning lady for us, the daughter of her childhood friend. We'll see whether it will work out or not, but that is at least a beginning.
