Saturday, 10:50 am: Today is a repeat of yesterday and the day before. My wife says it’s another day typical of German weather. Mowing, weeding, and pruning have all but come to a halt. It’s another day for more inside work. Of course our electricity was out for more than an hour this morning. That put the kibosh on anything that requires electricity, including dishwashing, because our water pump requires electricity to operate.

And because of all the rain, drizzle and mist, I have had more time to write weather blogs. I have to pick up the slack somewhere! And I need to stay out of my wife’s way when she is busy. She operates at full throttle, and I run on cruise control, which says something about my understated motivation.

I had to get my rubberized boots out of storage. I thought I wouldn’t need them until next winter to slog through the snow; now I need them to wade through our rain puddles which are everywhere. I think it’s another bad movie day.
