Theodora is ready!
Indeed. The girl is getting married. On the 23th of June 2012. And I will be flying to California to shoot the wedding. Whoohhhzee… The parents invited me to do so and I accepted. As it is getting closer, I get more giddy by the day. Inspecting camera’s, bags, suitcases, and how to travel lightly ...

Beekeeper’s quilt. An update. 3 More new skeins arrived from Tall Yarns ’n tales. I ordered some more Koigu, purple shades. I have no clue where this beekeeper’s quilt will take me, I let the yarn do the work. I knit every hexagon with a different wool bit. Also making sure that I use up ...
Share on FacebookPluto or Mars and tshoo-tshoo’s
South of Deming, driving on that small road to American Standards, still considerable to UK norms, all of a sudden I have landed on Mars. Well, it could have been Mars. Or Pluto, or wherever in our solar system…. Hmmm, New Mexico is famous of course for Alien extra terrestrial phenomena, am I in Area ...
Share on FacebookA patch in Hatch
Sounds lovely doesn’t it? Having a patch in Hatch? The chile capital of the World? Even if you need a magnifying glass to find it on the map. Leaving Socorro I drove South on I-25. The main artery going from the top of the map to the bottom. As ever I am in awe for ...
Share on FacebookBelgian boxes, russian books
Boxing day. Sunday. We managed to get my boxes from the attic that had been there for 10 years. They came with me from Belgium. THINGS I NEEDED IN MY NEW LIFE… but never got to use should have been an appropriate label. I opened box after box, amazed at what silly things I wanted ...
Share on FacebookTuna in the desert
Wet in England, if I want to see blue skies I have to grab my photo album from our trip to the States in January of 2012. Blue skies there. While I was driving South on I-25. Taking a break at the rest area where a couple of years back where I did not see ...
Share on FacebookSun: drop it all and go out
And I did… Dropped everything in the house, grabbed camera and took the road to Norton Coneyrs again to see whether the peonies were blooming. Those 3 rays of sun were obviously not enough to get the whole garden rockin and reelin. Yet it had changed by last week already… substantially I might add. Thanks ...
Share on FacebookBoob till you droob
Attachment parenting. Dr Bill Sears created a brave new world for children who want the boob till they are 18. I sure hope this kid is not going to school or playgroup tomorrow where one of his classmates brought the cover of Time for show and tell. What in God’s name are people thinking? This ...
Share on FacebookNeed rain?
You can get it! Don’t rain on my parade with sayings so sunny they hurt my ears and make me need sunglasses. It’s raining in England. Yet the hose pipe ban is still in place. It’s raining heavily and constantly, the problem is the level of the ground water. Water coming from snow and mountains, ...
Share on FacebookAlien Life Forms
Please tell me that there is another way of cleaning a bath mat. We live in England. Which means that our showers are more then ten times the average humid factor. It means that if you are not careful you have new life growing under your bath mat. Icky mushroomy low life forms. If you ...
Share on FacebookHappyness can be a Schlager
From the years 60. A schlager is a special kind of song. Mostly frowned upon, but hey, I like it. They are simple songs, good ritm, a bit of early Volendam Sound – another Dutch invention – AND they are perfect for performing chores. For one thing. Besides chores the music is also good for ...
