Session 28:   'Now we are in the middle of winter'

7/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Jetzt sind wir mitten im Winter.  Der Winter dieses Jahr bringt viel Regen und in den Bergen liegt viel Schnee und das bedeuted viel Bergwasser fließed in die Stauseen und füllt sie für die Sommerwasserreserve für die Bewässerungsgegenden. Jedes Haus hat eine Heizung, um es warm zu halten. Die meisten Menschen brauchen eine Zimmertemperatur zwischen 20 und 22 Grad C, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Manche Menschen machen den Fehler  ihr Haus bei 25 Grad oder mehr zu überhitzen  und leicht bekleidet im Haus zu sein. Das kosted mehr Energie and das heißt mehr Geldausgaben. Das kann man vermeiden indem man sich etwas wärmer anzieht, zum Beispiel mit einem Wollpullover anstatt T shirt oder Bluse. Es ist gesünder für den Körper Kalorien zu verbrauchen und  selbst die Körperwärme zu erzeugen und es ist gesünder für die Energiekosten wenn man sich mit 20 Grad begnügen kann. Electrizität, Gas oder Holzkosten sind im Winter am höchsten. Im Garten sieht es sehr winterlich aus. Die Laubbäune sehen ohne Bläter sehr kahl aus . Die Rosen verloren nun ihre Blätter und können führ die kommende Saison beschnitten und gedüngt werden. Der im Herbst gepflanzte Kohl und Blumenkohl ist nun fertig für die kommenden Mahlzeiten. Der Nachtfrost färbt die Geranienblätter braun und auch sie müssen bald zurückgeschnitten werden. Winter ist Fußballzeit und diesen Monat ist Fußballfestzeit für Fußballanhänger. I m nächsten Monat wird das Finale gespielt.

​
Now we are in the middle of winter.  Winter of this year brings a lot of rain and there is a lot of snow in the mountains, meaning that a lot of mountain water flows into the reservoirs and fills them for the summer water reserve for the irrigation areas. Every house has a heater to keep it warm. Most people need a room temperature between 20 and 22 degrees C to feel good. Some people make the mistake of overheating their house at 25 degrees or more and being lightly clothed in the house. That costs more energy and that means more money spending. You can avoid this by dressing a little warmer, for example with a wool sweater instead of a shirt or blouse. It is healthier for the body to consume calories and generate body heat and it is healthier for the energy costs if you can be satisfied with 20 degrees. Electricity, gas or wood costs are highest in winter. It looks very wintry in the garden. The broadleaf or deciduous trees look very bald without leaves. The roses have now lost their leaves and can be trimmed and fertilized for the coming season. The cabbage and cauliflower planted in autumn is now ready for the upcoming meals. The night frost colors the geranium leaves brown and they will soon have to be cut back. Winter is football time and this month is football festival for football fans. In the next month the final is played.
