Forecast for next week is a rather lackluster 25 to 30° after which autumn will be there, you can already feel the air changing and then it is a slow agonizing slide to cold and damp and another year.
On one side, I like the hot but I think that the heat has gotten to a lot of people including my landlady, I always thought her to be a bit “strange” but looks like strange doesnt do her psycotic behavior justice…
In the village she has a reputation of being needy and demanding, rings and writes to the Gemeinde to demand this and that, most recently for the Gemeinde to remove some plant that is growing wild on land ownrd by the Gemeinde.
When I talk to people in the village and they ask where I live they commonly raise their hands to the sky: “Um Gottes Willen!” They exclaim “She is your Vermieter? Good luck with that”
Her renters up to now stay for around a year then they get the hell out of Dodge, including the neighbours in the other house, they managed nine months.
Now for this next drama.
I have a little bird house on the railing and I love it, I love watching the birds, never knew I would, but yeah. Amma Birdwatcher… feather not leg.
This sets the stage for last Thursday at 23:30 when I get a long rambling Email wtitten in the most unfriendly staccato “official” German with bullet points that demands me to immediately remove the birdhouse because of damage to property yadda yadda yadda.
It was written in a tone that implies “or else!!!”
By law a little birdhouse is socially adequate and it is to be tolerated even by the owner of the property.
So I wrote back and fired a full broadside…
I have never had a problem with her before, always been polite, offered tea, looked after her plants, I pay my rent on time, I keep the grounds clear including any fallen birdseed and generally take care to live peacefully and quiet.
And now I am expecting a letter from a lawyer over a fucking birdhouse…
