I now am going to tell praise to myself for being such an excellent person. Because today, drumroll!, I slept until 13.00 sharp. I won! I won, if there ever was a competition on ability to sleep night and day. I surely won! Winning is always a good feeling. I remember it from the days I was competing in either light athletics or truckracing. I also win bets. For instance I bet that Trump will win for the second round. I won. I see things. But not the things I want. Just random things. Today I only woke up at one o’clock because I opened my eyes for some moment at 9 too but then was just dark, as dark as if it was still night. Then I opened my eyes at 11. It was still dark. It was just too damn dark to wake up. I closed my eyes and kept on watching the dream about my soon to be life in southern France. It was very nice dream, I must say.

So here we go, the praise for myself!

I do everything right, fair and honest (that’s no irony there). 

I work hard both mentally and physically. 

I keep order around and within myself (that’s pure exaggeration. To prove: I lost pair of jeans just few months ago and I have still not been able to track them down so I walk around with jeans that have very little material left on some parts. For that reason I put underwear on…. if you know what I mean)

I have raised some mean kids. To prove that:

I started to make pancakes for that thing called “breakfast” at about 13.20, a true time for any proper breakfast, that’s for sure. So my kid, who also is winning at sleeping day in and day out and woke up a whole twenty minutes before me, put on some music to my speaker. You know, for me to enjoy while I prepare the breakfast/ lunch/ and maybe even a dinner…. which brings me the thought that he wants something, why else would he be kind like that…. suspicious, that’s for sure.

So I was whipping up the eggs for the batter. I always make the pancakes in french crepes style. I think mr Pepin would approve even tho I don’t sautee them in cognac. So eggs, now, sugar, some salt and then whisk away. Flour, milk, olive oil and melted butter. All in and ready to go. During that time the music was playing and I kid you not, that’s what was playing, in this order

Guns’n’ roses, Welcome to the jungle

The White Stripes, Seven nation armyRammstein, Dicke Titten

Andrea Bocelli, Con te partiro

Richie Sambora, Harlem Rain

Giuseppe Verdi, Nabucco, Va, pensiero

Rammstein, die Sonne

and yes, I sang them all with all my might. You might want to look up the Dicke Titten translation as it’s in German. Enjoy 🙂

Did you know Va, pensiero was suggested in 1980s to become Italys anthem for several times but with no luck!? Extraordinary work, really. And, if I am not mistaken, then almost 200 years old piece too this magnificent piece. Would be quite funny if italians now decide to take it on as their anthem and then many people would have very curios question to me of why on earth do you know the italian anthem by heart LOL

So, all my favourite music all in one go. I must say I only got one crepe myself, that’s not what happens usually. Taking notes here means I will have to upgrade my receip from four eggs to five. Othervise I will just continue being unvoluntary weightwatcher. Which of course, ain’t that bad but I make mean crepes!! Roll in vanilla icecream or whipped cream and then “sprinkle” blueberries, oh, to die for. Trust me!

Today I made some shopping! Dreadful it was, indeed, but I survived. Took some Christmas deco for my family, will deliver it to the island some time in December. We have had our first snow already but it disappeared immediately. So for now the temperatures are still in plus side. I was searching for some gigantic flowerpots in four shops but as it turned out we are not the market for anything in scale. So no success there. Once in shop I had to use the “being” in there and do some shopping. Actually pretty pleased I survive. Useful, got some presents covered and had some great prices too. Tho it looked suspicious them having 50% off sign up and it’s not even December yet. I am pretty sure they just put double prices on and then graciously gave you the discount :). The shop happy, customer happy. Or as we say: wolf full and lamb alive.

Gotta run now, it’s what we call early Sunday morning. I will have workday today, doing flower arrangements in bulk 🙂

Stay warm and cool
