T‘was August

Never saw and experienced such a rain - we sat at our meal the complete family 

 - DH went out to check the situation and shut himself out because water

flooded into the house - we couldn‘t hear him shouting because

the rain was pouring so noisily

and down in the basement water stood already 5 cm high - 

everybody helped scooping as much water as possible

the room with the tanks - everything floating about

Good boys

carrying out



pouring into the discharge 

and when everything was finished, the water out of the basement

I had a terrible fall and could only walk with crutches about 2 weeks

then slowly I could walk with just one crutch and after some time very

carefully without any help. 

Today I take part again in gymnastics in our club - with a slight restraint

when it is about kneeling and squats.

Wrapping with floss

It is a "necklace" - a ring around the neck.

At our last wonderful Friday meeting

Edith came up with this idea from the internet.

Floss is wrapped around a thicker cord.

The endings are a bit fuzzy to make

I am closing it with a button which

DH calls a lamp.

We finally got some fantastic rain - many hours

and pouring down like cats and dogs.

It is our terrace - under water.

 

Mountains opposite can hardly be seen.

Today one day later it is sunny again.

 

 

 

 

 

The frame - crochet roses and basket

I am sure you are interested what became of the hole in the wall

This. --- The frame is made of carved stone.

Now it is time for the window. DH's employment.

It is a north window and the pouring rain

did not come in. It was raining the damn whole day.....

I made roses - to colour my day

After the crocheting is finished it is looking like this.

A spiral made of single, half and double crochet

stitches. Ii is then gathered into a rose.

Published in a German journal, Landlust April/11.

--------

I bought 100 m of clothes line and am starting to use it up.

Probably I used about 15 m. I like the pattern.

I used this fabric and cut it lengthwise in strips but also

tried to cut crosswise which I did not like. No special effect.

So I interchanged the blue and white sides

always with the dark blue stripes in the middle..

 

Hopefully the sky will be as blue as the basket again.

I wish you a lovely Sunday.

Rain - Szigetköz - Schüttinsel

Weather report!

Out of the moving car -
driving through the next village -
We returned to the hotel because of non-stopping rain.
Szigetköz (Schüttinsel) means island - surrounded by the rivers Danube and Moson-Danube, built by the alluvial deposit of the river Danube.

The country is flat

It must be wonderful ---- when it is not raining ----

They say: for lovers of water-tours, for kayakists or canoeists,
quarry lakes as fishermen's paradise - and
part of the international cycle route Eurovelo 6 along the Danube.
And it is true, biking is easy with so many low-traffic dams and side-roads.

Finished our "watertour" by car!
