Before noon i..
January 17th, 2009
Saw the face of the holy mother. (it’s a daily apparition but i’m not a believer)
Put our dirty towels in the washing machine and started the sixty degrees program. Emptied the ash chambers of both stoves. (spread some ashes on the mole heaps) Walked to the mailbox to get the newspaper. (it started to rain lightly) Added some grains in the bird house and hung two fat balls in the hooks. (birds were singing) Started the fire.
Set the coffee pot on the camping gas. Took the recyclable stuff in their containers. Filled the coal scuttle with egg coals and anthracite.
Sat down for breakfast and read the newspaper. Ate bread with butter and cheese.
Added fresh layer of coals on the glowing wood and shook the bottom grill for better airflow.
Got the dry wash down. Chased one cat down from the attic. (she was investigating the forbidden areas) Loaded the washing machine for the second time. (that will be the last – today) Brought the towels upstairs and hung them out.
Removed the x-mas decoration. (it looks so empty now) Wiped the black dust from free surfaces. Rinsed the chopsticks and knives. Ripped five pages off the wall calender.
The sun almost shines. (though a minuscule gap in the clouds)
