Turning into a groundhog
Aug. 11th, 2024 07:51 pmThe heat is back - again - worse than before. Everything that needs to be done has to be done in the early morning hours, and I am not an early riser, dammit! By the time I helped Mum with her morning ritual, washed my hair, took my own shower and did a bit of paper embroidery, it was well into the 30s (meaning grades) already and I was dead on my feet. I was so tired that I actually started shivering with cold, which is apparently the required effect of the Finnish sauna! So I put on two more layers, wrapped myself into a knitted blanket and lay down to sleep. At noon!
Of course, I woke up drenched in sweet only two hours later (Mum was basically the same). Fortunately, we had leftovers, so I didn't have to cook. After a late lunch, I lay down for another hour of unruly sleep, while Mum was sleeping in her armchair in front of the telly. What a day! And tomorrow will be even hotter, and we're going to have a visit from the extremely talkative chiropodist lady. Woe me!
To end this whiny entry on a positive note, here are the new cards:
They were really complicated to make, so there are a few hidden mistakes (hopefully not too obvious one), but I'm fairly content with the outcome.
And later on...
Vodafone played a mean trick on us. We were in the middle of watching the only watchable programme today when suddenly both TV and internet were gone. After a few minutes they came back, but we had half the TV channels missing. It took me an hour and a half on the phone until I could finally got one of the techies to speak to, who then solved the problem remotely in less than five minutes. Not something my blood pressure needed at 30+ degrees in the night, too...
