Looking back at the last time I posted about my one word for the year, I can hardly believe how much has changed in just one month. My word, “accept”, has a whole new meaning now. Things I (we) have to accept right now: :: rules. No matter what we think of it, I do…

Knitting & Reading
Reading: finished another book by Janet Evanovich. I love her writing!And I started a more serious (thick) one. In English, it’s called The Bible of Clay and it’s one of those thrillers that revolve around ancient texts (in this case the stories of Genesis as told by Abraham). I’m not sure what I think of…
On a lighter note
Hm, that was a depressing post, wasn’t it? I don’t want to delete it, but we could use something else to think about. So here’s a bonus post about something silly.The cat brought a blau-blau (a blue lizard, about the size of a big mouse or a small rat) with him to play with. He…
Taking shelter
Well, that was a weird weekend…I was going to try and ignore Covid-19 a bit more on my blog, but that’s not really possible. It’s all that’s on my mind right now.On Saturday we had 9 infections (there are only 160.000 people living on this island) and they announced an evening curfew. It’s not allowed…
Right now
Right now I am… :: tired. I have felt really tired for two weeks now But I slept quite well last night, so maybe I will feel better soon. :: excited to mention that I finished the yearly taxes as far as I could yesterday. It’s not that much work, but it always weighs me…
Grateful

(almost) Wordless Wednesday
I can come up with so many captions for this picture and I could connect it to so many thoughts about feeling safe and cozy and things like that, but I thought I’d let it speak for itself…
Let's talk about the weather
I can’t find the words to talk about things today. (As for my family, no facts to share, just going back and forth between hope and fear.) Looking at my pictures from this weekend (I was trying to do a day-in-the-life, but got sidetracked after a few hours) I thought these three made a nice…
Knit on
Hey, look! I’m knitting!I still have to work around that cat, but I solved my “don’t know what to knit” problems by casting on for a very simple asymmetric shawl. I had so many ideas for this beautiful soft cotton, but I need mindless, simple knitting right now.And well, a shawl is good for many…
Three supermarkets
(random iguana picture) Yesterday I went grocery shopping. When I (finally!) got home I realised that I visited three supermarket where things were all very different. So now I have something to blog about for Carole’s Three on Thursday 😉 1. I started at Van den Tweel. That’s an hour drive for us, over the…
