Progress report

[wiseheart]

Today, I was busy again. First, Mum and I made our weekly trip to the corner café. It took longer than usual because her knee was acting up, but we managed it nonetheless. We wouldn't miss this for the world, as long as the weather cooperates.

After that, I made some more cellophane bags. 16 pieces in just under two hours, to be accurate. I'm really getting the hang on this. 32 done, the other 32 to go - then I'll run out of cellophane. *g*

I didn't need to cook today (bought some goodies at the café and only made a Tütensuppe to go before them), so I gave one of the spicy apple jam with raisins recipes noadvertising suggested a try. Well, it was a bastardized version of the recipe by someone called Marion, as I replaced the orangeat with aromatised orange zests and left out the almonds completely, but so far the little jars look great. I just hope the lids will remain sealed after they have cooled down. *fingers crossed*

That about took care of the rest of the day. We also watched some telly, and are now lazing around - with all windows closed, unfortunately, to wear off an unexpected attack of huge Nachtfalter - no idea what they are called in English and why have they suddenly decided to invade our home, but I don't want the disgusting creatures around us. Annoying, though; it is the evening hours when we can actually air the flat, as we get direct sunshine all afternoon. *sigh*

I don't know what Nachtfalter are but from the sound of it, I think I'd probably brave the temperature rather than the critters.

They're moths.

Yuck!

Sounds as if you need to put fly screens in your windows!

We are seriously considering it. Although by the size of these beasts perhaps a wire mesh fence would do, too. I've seen helicopters smaller than them.

Ah yes, moths! I don´t hate them, but having them in the house is not nice! Neither for the moths nor for us!

True. I'm a bit confused, though. I always thought moths were those small things that destroy food or clothes, respectively. These are the size of flying dinosaurs, and they're called the same?

Indeed, they are! Clothes moths, too, are nocturnal
