Took a wonderful morning walk with Brigitta up and down the Mur, into vogelschutzgebiet and beyond. another gorgeous spring day. I was a bit lazy at home. The patented Bath-and-Books time-sink. This time with lots more Magellan... but i read soooo slowly in German. I get impatient! It's really very good.
Felix came home from school having had his versöhnungsfest, which is kind of the first confession, which they don't do like they do in the us. the last two kids did it and there was really a kind of mini celebration breakfast at school and parents were told things. this time, because everything is weird in these corona times, i didn't even really know about it in advance.
I had signed up Henry for a 3-day rollerskating class i took him there and sat in the grass and read Mr. Bowditch. The instructor was very impressed with Henry's skating skills, even more so when he found out neither parent skates, he never took a class, and he's only had skates for a little less than a year. his skates came unglued during the course of the class so i glued them at home as best as i could.
As soon as we got home there was Hans Brinker. Everyone was beat. Felix even fell asleep before we had finished a chapter, and Henry almost did, and asked to be carried upstaires.
Talked to Manuela late in the evening, mostly about books and such, and it was very nice to catch up.
