That weekend

There is one weekend in a year when suddenly all the sour cherries and lots of raspberries ripen.

And the tree still looks full of sour-cherries although you already have 30 jars of sour-cherry jam, a freezer and a fridge full of sour-cherries.

I'm complaining, yes, but eating home-grown redcurrant, raspberries, strawberries and sour cherries all through the year is well worth it.

74!

Today I set a new record.

I've received 74 emails, all but four requiring immediate and precise action... No wonder I'm completely burned out.

I literally do not do anything else but work.

Oh, and last week I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time. I have mixed feelings, a bit too circusy for my taste. But the costumes and the athletes are fantastic!
