The weather, the beasts and Mum

wiseheartIn that order, just to stay organized. *g*
The weather is ungodly hot still. I refused to leave the house today, as it was 28 degrees around ten in the morning already. Tomorrow promises to be a bit milder, and I'll try to get up an hour earlier. We'll see if I can. Weather forecast promises 34-35 degrees for Thursday in our district; after that, temperatures are supposed to go down a bit, to more bearable levels. Again, we'll see.
At least the invasion of the flying dinosaurs seem to be over. It must have been mating time or whatnot. I have seen one or two of them outside, but the huge swarms are gone... for now. According to my internet research they swarm from May to August - I only hope it doesn't happen repeatedly!
Mum is doing slightly better. She's still in a lot of pain, but - being the trooper that she is - she doesn't allow it to stop her. Today, when I wasn't looking, she marched into the kitchen and washed the dishes. And in the evening she suggested that we took the rubbish out; granted, it was only along the corridor in front of our flat, but still. Considering that she can only hold her cane with the injured hand. Shoulder, armpits, upper arm and knee are black, blue and purple on the right side like some odd painting made by a mad painter in LSD high... that will remain for a while I'm afraid.
Crafting-wise I labelled a few more cellophane bags for the fair. That's all.
