(linking up with Chris’ Tuesday To Do) I guess it’s quite fitting for my crafting these days that I thought I had taken a picture of my knitting and then it seems I didn’t. It wasn’t on my camera and I hadn’t deleted old pictures yet. Weird. So, this is what you get. A not…

Right now
Right now I am… :: feeling a bit restless. So much to do today, so little time. :: nursing an ear infection. Hoping this one won’t rip my eardrum like the last time it got this bad. It’s my other ear now and I fear my hearing will suffer. :: looking back at a wonderful…
In my garden
I was planning to do a garden tour, with lots of explanations and things like that, but… well… my garden is still a big mess. And I don’t really have time right now to write blog posts like that. But I do want to get into a blogging routine again, so I decided to just…
Unfinished business, no more
Joining in with Chris’ Tuesday To Do today! Not that I really had a crafty to do list. Truth to be told, my knitting has been very scarce this past few months. Or maybe even this past year, I don’t know. But I felt like knitting again and I had two unfinished projects. So maybe…
Weekend doings
We had an uneventful, but wonderful weekend. Friday’s sunset. I’m still not tired of these. On Saturday we spent the morning working in the garden. T. mowed the grass. Well, actually he mowed the weeds and the (wild) grass is slowly starting to fill in, but it looks good and it’s a lot easier to…
Blooming
One of the agaves in our garden is blooming. You can’t really see it in the pictures, but it’s about 10 feet high. Which is actually not high compared to some other agaves I’ve seen. It’s fascinating to watch this grow, even though it’s also bittersweet, since it means the mother plant is dying. Each…
Christmas wish
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to post something here again, but it felt like unfinished business not to post a Christmas wish. The last few months have been a blur and the last few weeks even more. We’re in The Netherlands right now, but it’s been a roller coaster. We picked a hell of…
A perfect life
If I imagine how a perfect life would look for me… Okay, let’s just ignore that this would include being able to visit my family and not feeling so scared all the time. Just focus on the things that I can change. If I imagine how a perfect life would look for me, I’d be…
Banana cookies
So, I made some cookies. And the great thing about these is that I can eat them too (I can’t eat sugar and I’d better stay away from gluten as much as possible). The original recipe (you can find that here) is just two ingredients, glutenfree oats and banana. I was feeling adventurous, so I…
What's new?
So what’s new? Well, nothing much, actually. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t been blogging. Not much happened. I’ve been rather succesful at keeping T. and myself reasonably healthy, though we’ve been extremely tired for weeks (months? I don’t know). Covid is spreading here, but we keep our distance. No happy hours, no…
