Just a bit fed up with the weather.

Just a bit fed up with the weather.

Though it's not that cold, it's sure doesn't look like Summer. It's grey, sometimes wet and the temperature difference is almost insane. It's still just June I know, but still, hopefully with the Summer vacation the weather will be better. That would be nice. Gosh I'm going to Berlin, I almost forgot. I'm getting excited, in the first week of August on a Monday I will be leaving. It's not even that far, Berlin is in Germany as you know. Traveling by bus and I think it's just three or four driving. The excursion trip will last eight days, I'm sure it's gonna be fun.

Quit a busy morning this morning, I finally decided to clean the outside window from my living room. The windows outside from my sleeping room were already done last month, that was easy to do cause of my little balcony. But the outside windows in the living room were almost impossible to clean. It's not a easy job when you live on the second floor, lol. I thought about calling a window cleaner, but decided in the end to do it myself. I grabbed all the 'window clean gear' I needed and added a few things more. Lot's of clods and old towels plus duck-tape.Yeah, duck tape.  

The tool I used for drying  the very last (difficult/impossible) part of the window! Noticed the duck tape? LOL!
Last week I bought a plastic stick where I could add the puller (or how you call such thing) on,the puller I use  to dry the windows with. Though the hole in the puller was to big, but I still had duck tape what I could use to wrap the puller with around the plastic stick. Some parts were kinda easy to reach, but some parts... Ugh! First I did the easy parts and the most difficult parts later. The last part what was impossible to reach I had to do standing on the little balcony from outside my sleeping room, lol, the neighbors must have been thinking. But I managed, the windows were surprisingly clean, pffeeww, they were DIRTY...

When I was done it started to rain softly, good timing. I was glad it was done, hell of a job but happy I was done.  In the afternoon after my lunch and nap I bought my groceries for the coming week, I bought a tiny bit more then usual. I bought fresh beans, beans what I have to cook longer then the regular ready beans what I have to warm up from out a can. I found a recipe in a magazine and I wanted to try it, my first time ever preparing fresh beans. I succeeded nicely, I so gotta do that more often, cooking with fresh vegetables.
