I don’t know why I thought these roses would be yellow, but I love this dark red color they are turning out to be instead.It’s always fun to get to know a new garden! (no, we didn’t move again, we bought a vacation cabin in the Netherlands to stay in when we’re visiting family). PS:…

Harvest
I know… that’s not what you’d expect from a tropical garden. But that’s what we’re at right now. Some papaya fruits and a few tiny tomatoes. Tomatoes and me… not working. In the Netherlands I struggled with it being too cold and too wet and I had a lot of diseases. And here… too hot…
Progress
I didn’t knit much these past few weeks. Last time I posted about my knitting (4 weeks ago!), I was pretty optimistic about finishing this sweater soon, but I didn’t feel like knitting a lot and we watched an awful lot of series and movies at night (I don’t knit while watching something that I…
Hi there
Oh, oops! I really wanted to post something today, but the day just slipped away (it’s 4:30 PM already). They all seem to do that, lately. We’ve been in full lockdown for over a month now and it’s wearing us out. But the numbers are going down fast, so it is working and we hope…
Slow down and notice
Moving to this island with it’s totally different climate and flora has really taught me to notice the little details of the plants and trees better. Everything is unfamiliar. I do have a lot to learn…
Black
We have another stray! Poes (our other cat) brought her in. She’s slowly learning that she doesn’t have to run away each time we come closer, though she still doesn’t want us to touch here. She is confident enough to come inside and ask for food though…
Right now I am…
… happy that my ear infections seems to be over (well, almost) … annoyed to have to admit that I now have a headache though. A real three-day one, I think. I woke up with it yesterday and it’s still there. … kind of pleased with myself that I haven’t taken any painkillers yet. Even…
A cast on!
I finally cast on for that sweater Julia directed me to a few weeks ago. Why did that take me so long? I was sort of dreading following a pattern. My brain is overloaded these days, so I thought it would be too much. Guess what? It was really easy and actually quite calming to…
In my garden
Oops, fell off the blogging bandwagon already… It’s been a weird week. Haven’t been feeling so well, T. was sick too and we’re in full lockdown again on the island (only allowed on the street to for necessary errands twice a week). Also, I was (am) a bit stressed about work. I have a really…
In my garden
I almost didn’t post this picture. I found it a bit disappointing and not just because the resized picture is kind of blurry (the original isn’t). I have this vision in my head of how it will look someday, but you have to have a strong imagination to actually see it, I guess. But it…
