T. woke up singing “I wanna go home” (from Sloop John B. by the Beach Boys). I didn’t really know that song, but goodness, that jukebox in his mind is always spot on… Today we were supposed to fly to The Netherlands to see our kids and our family. Our flight has been canceled for…

Random three
1. I am so tired! I try to work in the garden at least an hour a day, but my body isn’t as strong as it used to be. Or this is harder work than I’ve ever done, that could also be the case. I’m still in the phase of cleaning the grounds. Need to…
DITL :: look what he built!
Last Friday I didn’t know yet that I’d decide to keep doing the day in the life blogs, but to do combine Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a Monday post and do Monday through Thursday on Friday (um, does that make sense to you? – doesn’t matter, it does to me). So I didn’t really…
In my garden
More garden content… I’ve been thinking about starting another blog for my garden and things related to that (herbal medicine) because there may be a lot of that in the nearby future, but I decided to just keep it all together and go with the flow. This blog has always been very personal and changing…
Three in the garden
Before the lockdown, I had big plans for the garden. I had some work to finish and then I’d spend most of my days doing what I love most. Well, that sort of backfired. First of all, that work took a lot long longer than I thought (still not done). Then I started to feel…
DITL :: 4.8-10.2020
Good morning! Trying to catch up again (though I have a really hard time to find words today). This was Wednesday. I decided to be done with that headache and went shopping. I did it! And that was all I did that day. Just a headache (no cough, no fever), but it keeps going a…

I wasn’t feeling well these past few days. Headache. Not Covid-19 (I think – no other symptoms). Just a normal cluster headache, that lasts for a few days. I didn’t feel like blogging or taking pictures, but I hope things are back to normal now (Wednesday), so here’s some catching up. Saturday morning it was…
DITL :: 4.3.2020
Good morning! Yes. Every. Single. Day. It’s sweet, but I wish he’d learn to retract his nails… I had an off day. It took me hours and hours to work through my normal bookkeeping chores. I was not interested in the news either, though I did watch the daily press conference to check if there…
DITL :: 4.2.2020
Good morning! Actually, I had been awake for about half an hour before I took this picture. Made some coffee and tea, knit a bit until it was light enough to read (yes, we’re outside on the porch already). This is after breakfast and after cleaning the kitchen, making the second pot of coffee for…
DITL :: 4.1.2020
On my Dutch blog, I started posting “day in the life” blogs last week. Don’t know why, but I felt a pull towards documenting the normal parts of my days as well as the things that are so different right now.I decided that I might as well copy those posts and translate them for this…
