Carnival costume: Bilbo

I realised that I haven't posted this year's carnival costumes yet. And it's been over a month! Oops.

The initial idea was to make Bilbo and Gandalf. Halfway through the sewing, Gandalf changed his mind and he decided to be an (improvised) mobster. Oh well.

So I only had to make Bilbo: too short brown trousers, green vest, golden ring and ... well... feet. We had the shirt and the coat so I didn't have to make them as well.



And the final result:
:-)

Really, Penguin, really?

You know I've got a soft spot for penguins...

And I usually like Penguin books. 

But this (taken from Life in Space):


Really? Really?!? This is what you're teaching our kids?

Updates

Just a brief update to my two recent posts.

- adding one more song to my playlist: Laibach's The Wistleblowers

- and adding another wonderful win by Roglič, this time in Catalonia. Brilliant!

Cycling!

What a lovely day for cycling enthusiasts!

 

Roglič winning Tirreno-Adriatico and Pogačar winning Paris-Nice race.

 

Totally different from last year, when Roglič won Paris-Nice and Pogačar won Tirreno-Adriatico ;-)

Music time!

The music I'm currently listening to:

Måneskin - The Loneliest (I've gone commercial)

Gayle - abcdefu (really commercial)

Syts - Redemption (more piano music)

Claudio Capeo - Si j'avais su (beautiful, but almost too sad to listen to)

Paul Kalkbrenner - Feed your head (because I'm back on my bike suffering 😉 and need something to keep my cadence high)
