Perhaps it’s FrΓΌhjahrs MΓΌdigkeit as they say here. Spring lethargy, which people swear by here.

Yes you are right, sorry brain wasn’t functioning properly. The moths are what we use to get rid of the weevils, they cost a fortune but are very efficient.

It is nice to be woken in the morning with the sun shining through the window. Every day, feeling stronger, even walking without any help eg., stick or walker so proud of that. Not far but even so I’m up and walking. I envy you your smartish clothes, how nice for you. Love York by the way.

Good morning Guy and good morning to you all. Still very sunny and warm so will get my dose of vitamin D today. Nothing much happening today so will wish you all a happy Tuesday doing anything that makes you happy.

A photo of a geothermal power plant. A tall column of steam rises straight into the sky, lit warm orange at the top by the sunset. The facility sits out in a dry, open landscapeβ€”grasses in the foreground, low hills behind.

Good morning AW, lovely photos, glad you enjoyed your walks. Brilliant sunshine again this morning so another chance to sit in the garden and read for me. Strangely enough, didn’t see many birds at all yesterday, hope that changes.

Morning Caroline, morning all. Brilliant sunshine this morning once again. Was very cold though -1 Temperature going up to +16 so I will definitely be sitting out in the garden as much as possible. Trouble is, I see all the work to be done and have to rein in too many thoughts of helping.

Think it’s ok as long as it’s not a French/German in my case, translation into English, the characters are then the imagination of the translator and very rarely the samethe author imagined. I very rarely read English translation of German books but then again, not many German authors I really like.

My bed companions at the moment, 2 dogs, 2 cats. I’m sure they won’t mind.

Thanks for your suggestions Sue, just activated Kindle again but will also look into the library apps which are all new to me. Gets the little grey cells working though.

Thanks good idea .yes definitely thinking of a Kindle for my IPad. Had one a few years back but found looking at the screen hurt my eyes after awhile. It’s much cheaper than books so I will definitely look into that today.

I love halibut, can’t remember when I ate it last. Very, very expensive here. Great that you have your weekend food plan sorted.

Morning Clare and Orcs. Beautiful sunshine again today. Sons πŸ§šπŸΌβ€β™€οΈhere this morning so no staying in bed too long. Day of knitting embroidery and perhaps reading if I can find a book. Sons reading matter isn’t quite my taste. Hope to sit in the garden later so all in all, not a bad day ahead.

Remember driving home in the storm, couldn’t see a thing, very frightening. Was 2 streets away from home so parked up and walked the rest but that too was awful.

Good morning CIF, woke up to brilliant sunshine again, apparently lasting another few days. Noticed the Sahara sand storms are blowing again. We had a terrible one in Spain once, husband just finished painting the house white. He had to start all over again as the house was yellow. Enjoy your day.

Yes, that’s truly something not an issue at the moment thank goodness. Sometimes we tend to overthink things, or at least it seems I do at the moment. Obviously too much time on my hands.

Morning CIF and Orcs. Brilliant sunshine again today, temperatures around 14c and rising. Accomplished a lot yesterday but it did feel strange being in my own flat again. Still not sure which way this is going but at the moment, happy with son and furry friends.

Morning you lovely people. Nearly lunchtime here, very late on duty today. Back in the flat for more sorting out with cleaning πŸ§šπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ. Son dropped me off before going to work but there was an accident on the autobahn so we had to do a tour of Vienna to get to my place, he was very late for work.

Morning all and wasn’t it a glorious sunrise today. The full moon wasn’t bad either. Nothing much planned for today but son is wfh so will have chats now and again. Enjoy your day everyone.
