Watercolour painting

When you casually paint something.

And MiniMojcek Nr. 2 says 'it looks like a kid painted it'.

You accept the challenge and start practicing. 

 So here I am, practicing watercolour painting :-) 

Holidays

More family holidays. 

Enjoying the summer, 

 

kayaking,

visiting some great adventure parks,

 

renting a cosy cottage,

 

hiking the bogs,

 

admiring the architecture,

and the history.

Latvia.

And a day trip to Lithuania. 

 I've still got over 3000 photos to sort!

Music!

Call my musical taste eclectic or whatever you want. Because ...

I love Mika. 

And I love Nick Cave.

Indeed.

Away ... again

A short break at Lago di Garda. 

A bit of climbing, a bit of rain, a bit of swimming, a bit of history...  

I always like to go/return there.

Hooded Microfibre Poncho

Decathlon's got great hooded beach ponchos and we've been using them for years.

But they are quite big and get super-heavy when wet.

 

So I made a lightweight microfibre copy :-)

  

Of course I got the material from Decathlon: two large towels and one medium. And the elastic part was reused from come old cycling shorts.

Very happy :-)

Summer wreath

When I took down the Christmas wreath a while ago, I felt like there was something missing. A cosy welcome for all our visitors. So I made a summer wreath :-)

Welcome!

And we've been away

When temperatures hit 35+ degrees, it's time to go someplace else. 

 So we did :-)

There were also 35+ degrees, but we had this wonderful sea to cool down. 

And plenty of shade. And ice cream. And granita :-D
