In the village - Day 4

THE RAINY DAY THOUGHTS.
7:00am

Another rainy morning in the village.
It's +14C on the thermometer - hard to believe, as it doesn't cold.

I don't feel bored in the village.
If rain will not stop soon, then I'll be drawing today.
We have enough food and always can to prepare something else, we don't hurry anywhere and not missing anything. Just perfect! Also we have wine, TV, books and table games - to entertain ourselves, internet connection and telephone - to keep in touch with the city ... LOL... look at me! I almost appologize about my comfortable doing nothing! When I went here - I was asked again and again: "What will you do there?", so, probably I'm trying to explain what exactly I will do here. But it's useless try - because one, who asked doesn't understand another being but work or simulation of the work process. And also this person completely dependent of so-called "civilization", when you can buy everything immediatelly at your request and can't accept life with no supermarket nearby.

I will not deny - I'm a city resident and the city is my natural habitat. Once upon a time I had experience of village-being for a whole year, even it was long time ago - I still shudder remembering it: I nearly went mad there from isolation and despair. But it doesn't mean that I can't enjoy living in the countryside for certain period and, for sure, I am able to adapt myself to new environment.

The only thing that really disturbs - there are annoying village flies. I expected the mosquitoes, but fortunately not (touch wood, I have horrible allergy on their bites). We ought to find out how to get rid of the flies, there should be other ways besides fly swatter?
But so what - the flies! Yesterday a wild pheasant wandered on the lawn in our yard.

12:00, noon

The forecast was optimistic, it said the rain will stop at the noon and even will be some sunshine. We decided to go to forest to seek mushrooms. They should grow after the rain, aren't they? And at 11am rain really paused. Until we were dealing with proper equipment - the rain restarted. Oooooh... that sucks. Not that i have anything against the rain, but I'm almost dressed and ready to go out. What should we do now? To lunch?

SMART LITTLE BUDDY
One more cute thing in this house it a cleaning robot. It's a very smart small machine that moving all around the house (need to lock doors leading to the steps down), it sweeps and swirls, collects debris, and when getting softly stick in corners or furniture, it deftly turns around and changes direction. Fantastic! Photos of moving machine were blured, so I stopped it for a while. And here it's - the technical miracle!

Andre said that when robot has low battery it seek for a charger, charge itself and continue the job. Ah?

EVENING

Afternoon rain became light and we went to the forest. It was a bit dissapointing - no mushrooms at all, even no one old and bitten by snails, no grebes or toadstools - just nothing at all! It's understandable, even 2 last days were rainy - but the land under the wet leaves is desert dry. Yes, understandable but still frustrating! It seems for mushrooms need to wait a week or so.

Rain stopped and begun in loop, several times. Rest of the day we spent inside.

Andre was playing with "tangram"- I should try it too, he says it's genius idea. I was drawing. Finally I found time for it.
