We had a great weekend, full of resting, swimming, knitting, cuddling with Jul (the cat), ending it with our first trip to Kokomo beach in over a year, where our favorite band was playing. Such a great way to gear up for the week! Not that we plan to have a busy week, we’re still…

A good start
Morning tea and a cat on my lap. Such a great start of my day. We’ve had a great weekend, but I didn’t take any pictures. Just spent a lot of time in the pool and ate out a few times. Now I feel up to normal life again. First on the list: give our…
Oh well…
When I started writing that post last Monday, I really thought I’d be able to take some time to rest this week. Well… that didn’t really happen. Yesterday we woke up because one of T.’s clients called really early. The problem was not easy to solve from a distance, so T. decided to drive down…
Recovering
Oh my. Has it really been over a month since I last posted? The whole of July feels like such a blur. I can’t really elaborate about it (not my story to tell), but let’s just say I highly underestimated how much stuff my parents managed to store in that tiny one bedroom apartment. It…
Hard work and much needed rest
These three pictures kind of capture my weekend. On Saturday we packed some my father’s possessions (that sounds so much easier than it was) and stored it in our shed for the rest of the weekend. I took out his nice jackets and ties, because they get ruined after days and days in a stuffed…
July
Well, that didn’t go as planned. I wanted to post more often, but this week was quite the emotional roller coaster. My father got offered a room in a care home, so we were so happy to finally be able to have him live in a place where he can have his own things surround…
A whole lot of nothing
Even though we’re home together almost every day of the week, I still feel like weekends should be a little bit more special. But sometimes it’s just not. We didn’t do much at all. Or maybe that made it special? I was planning on taking pictures, but the blogger in me is not fully awake…
Noticing
We’re in The Netherlands for a few months because my father is not doing so well.This wasn’t the way I imagined to spend my summer and to be honest, I’d rather be home. It took me so long to really feel at home on Curaçao and now I feel uprooted again. It’s quite tempting to…
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…
