I was checking on the crocus flowers last weekend and have been happy to see that also the white variety bloomed, lovely to see that most have opened. I watered them but after around 3 days, the flowers begin to wither and became dry.

At the same time, my cellphone made a Ping, I opened it and saw that it was the group chat from our apartment complex ..a neighbor from the other end of the building was asking for an assistance because her car did not start and she needs to go out . It was 9:00 AM and I just had my breakfast , after about 15 minutes, nobody replied on her request. So I thought I´d go and help her. We agreed on a meet-up in front of the convenient store, I met them and went to their garage downstairs. She asked me how we would do it with my car entering their garage ..I said I didn´t have the car because I have the kit to start the battery.

Battery was the culprit....

I brought with me a loader kit so I could recharge the battery... It was easy-peasy and I started attaching the loader to the poles of the battery and her boyfriend started the car and that was it. The motor immediately jumped and they were happy that I came by to help so fast. Can you imagine this small power bank starting a car? I also use this to load my cellphone and it is phenomenal and very fast.

The DIY Lamp Repair...

The blue ceramic lamp simply went off three nights ago..the problem was not the lamp but the switch. I went the other day to the hardware and got the switch. It was so tricky to attach the wires, I did not expect the difficulty because I have been repairing such as easy-peasy job.

The switch is not that easy to use, I wanted to return but I still managed to attach the wires on both sides of the switch.

Then I put back the switch cover and screwed it together and tried the switch..... the lamp burned, I am satisfied!

The only thing that is missing to finally finish the repair is the lamp shade which I want to change anyway because it had been too big in a small room. So the search will continue next week... I´ll keep you updated once I have found the right shade.

Until then... keep safe and see you around!

Thank you for the tip @robibasa... Happy Weekend!

Thanks @tipu.

There was also an incident where we were able to help a lady jumpstart her car with this portable jump start cable box. So convenient, no need for long cables.

Indeed, no long cables or another car to start the battery...

Wow! That small power bank is amazing! I want one. And, your diy just showed you are really jack of all trades you can do men's work. I salute, idol. Me, hahaha even holding the wire am nervous already.

Hahaha.... it´s just a matter of wanting to do a thing, I study first whether I can do it, then practice trial and error, lol!

I would wish I could do so much challenges....it´s always the time constraints you know, I had to make life priorities because I am not that young anymore. The last two weeks was set for medical check-up of various clinics since we arrived and of yourse for an "aged". woman that is tiring. I set the appointments while in Andalusia because it takes months before you could schedule yourself for a check-up in Vienna.... Thanks a ton for your lovely comment. Happy Sunday!

The flowers are so adorable. The colors blended well. I admire you for your talents ate. You have a lot of knowledge in different aspects. And you were able to help others.

Everything can be learned, As I said I do trial and error and maybe perfect it by practicing... hahaha
