It was a beautiful morning today. Frosty and sunny. So nice to see the sun again. I think we didn’t have it for two weeks or more. I love the sun, but rain and fog too, all in small doses and rotating nicely so I don’t get bored. My heating is working again and I don’t need to bath in a few liters of lukewarm water anymore. Last night I called an engineer who specialises in oil heating boilers to help. He told me that it happens fairly often – after topping up of oil the air gets into piping leading from oil tanks to boilers and the system then stops working. The “unairing” took about 15 minutes and after he left I was so happy! The house is warm, I don’t have to burn wood in my three wood burners and the water is hot.
“A multitude of small delights constitutes happiness” – Charles Baudelaire. Agree. I made a note to myself to be grateful for modern conveniences, which I take for granted. I also need to work on the house more, instead of checking my social media accounts. My German is awful so there is this too; I need to watch Pastewka type of series instead of Criminal Minds and Mary Taylor Moore show.
