I woke up after only 7 1/2 hours of sleep and then waited around in our almost dark room waiting for the boy to wake up as well. I even was completely without internet for a bit until I realized that I just didn‘t have wifi in that particular corner of the room. Duh.
We eventually got up, brushed our teeth and went to my mother‘s place by 9, had breakfast and decided that we should get her a new cell phone. We went to the next town over to an actual shop, looked at the selection of phones they had and chose a refurbished Android phone. Then we went back home and spent most of the rest of the day on and off setting the phone up.
We had a veggie casserole for lunch that was a little too al dente and also not quite heated up. Good thing my mother has a microwave. We also had the „but I thought Susanne was the one who didn‘t eat strawberries and her sister is the one who doesn‘t do raw tomatoes“-conversation. Again. And yes, my sister doesn‘t like tomatoes (among other things) but I don‘t like them either. I gave mine to the boy:
We spent some quiet time after lunch and I started getting online banking going on the new phone and then it was time for my aunt to come over for coffee and cake.
My mother had made a very good plum tarte that we ate with whipped cream.
I really like my aunt but she is pretty deaf these days in a way that her hearing aids don‘t really make much of a difference and that makes conversations somewhat difficult.
We then went with my aunt to her house to help her get stuff down from the attic because she can‘t climb the ladder at the moment with her bad knee and then we had a lovely if too hot and humid walk back to my mother‘s place with a slight detour to a supermarket for licorice and crackers.
The boy took a shower and I did Duolingo and started this post (and look! pictures!) while the family in the apartment next to ours had a „toddler at bedtime“-crisis from what I could hear.
We then tried watching „Doctor Who“ while eating crackers and licorice with a nice cup of chamomile and fennel-tea but the internet was out and so no streaming. I‘ll download something on Netflix or Prime later so we have a backup plan but that was a bummer.
Phew!
We‘re hoping for a little cooler weather today. With no rain, if possible. Oh, and my feet continue not hurting, wow!
