It's cold today and it's windy. I vacuum all over the house while Lois goes out in the back yard and weeds a bit in our shiny new raised beds. Later in the day, she plants vegetable seeds in 2 of the 6 beds: parsley, spring onions, salads, spinach and dwarf beans in one bed and carrots, parsnip, beetroot and potatoes in the other.

Flashback to June 9: our raised beds in happier times:

Lois here is showcasing them when they were brand new,

 and the birds and wind had not yet had the opportunity

to “plant” weeds in them – sob sob!

I write an email in Hungarian to my Hungarian pen pal, Tünde. My Hungarian has become a bit rusty to put it mildly and I am quite sure there are many errors in my email. Damn!

Lois has had slight stomach ache much of the day - the poor thing! So we go to bed early: 9 pm - zzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!

Danish translation: mandag den 28. juni 2020

Det er koldt i dag, og det blæser kraftigt. Jeg støvsuger overalt i huset, mens Lois går ud i baghaven og luger lidt i vores nye hævede bede. Senere å dagen planter hun grøntsagsfrø i 2 af de 6 bede: persille, forårsløg, salater, spinat og dværgbønner i det ene bed og gulerødder, pastinak, rødbeder og kartofler i det andet.

tilbageblik til den 9. juni: Vores hævede bede i lykkeligere tider:

Lois fremviser dem, da de var spritnye, og fuglene og vinden endnu ikke havde

haft muligheden for at ”plante” ukrudt derinde : hulk, hulk!

Jeg skriver en email på ungarsk  til min ungarske penneven, Tünde. Mit ungarsk er blevet lit rusten for at sige mildt, og jeg er helt sikker på, at der er mange fejl i min email. Pokkers!

Lois har haft ondt i maven i hovedparten af dagen – staklen! Så går vi tidligt i seng: kl 21 - zzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!
