Today, the #grandma recordings were a real struggle, I'm tired and sweating, my neck itches from small hairs after having my hair cut some minutes ago. The first record was only three minutes and not particularly special. The second one revisited the story of Kunigunde #Schindler's revolver (see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schindler-1413#Revolver for details). I stopped after the mandatory about 100 lines, because the second recording is almost an hour long. Let's hope next week gets better again.

Edit: Probably, wanting to continue watching #MoneyHeist didn't help either 😉

I pulled myself together and managed to transcribe all five #grandma recordings of 7th of June 2022. The result are almost 300 lines of notes, where the weekly goal usually is about 100. This leaves me with 127 total recordings left.

Today's highlight was grandma trying to clean feathers from a pillow. Somebody had told her that one could put them in a pot* with a bit of fire below and to steer constantly, in order to the dirt to remain at the bottom. The fire wouldn't burn, so she went out in the garden to do some work there. At one point she smelled something weird and discovered that the whole kitchen was filled with smoke, when the fire then finally started burning properly. She decided to put the feathers on the dungheap and to cover them.

I have no clue, if there was any water involved or if the feathers were just dry in the pot. I guess, they wouldn't have started burning with water, so probably there was none?
