My eyes hurt!

Mr Mojcek has been looking for a light cycling vest for quite a while now. The problem being that XL in a Quintana/Roglič/Alaphilippe world is just not big enough for him.

So I made him one.

I've been looking at this bright, almost fluorescent yellow for the past couple of days now and my eyes hurt.


But the vest is nice, windproof and waterproof.

85 grams :-)

The little joys

When you accidentally find yourself using matching mugs and tea tins ...


and they remind you of the time you spent in Portugal and Cambridge ...

and the colour of Le Soleil à Nice matches the yellow of your kitchen walls :-)

and you have this beauty in your kitchen ...


and are always amazed by what these little creatures do for us ...

and you just had a wonderful weekend - one day with the extended family and the other with close friends ...

accompanied by four cakes, five strudels and two tiramisus :-)

and the warm wind that is blowing ...

just makes you happy.

Bernadette Fox

Finally a film I really liked: Where'd you go, Bernadette.

Photo stolen from the web.
A film that I liked and understood on so many levels.

And to everyone who gave this film a bad rating (which is a lot of people), well, you just don't get it.

I do.

I've been away.

It wasn't for long.

But it was incredibly intense and inspiring.

Arizona green tea dress

What do you do six hours before the airport shuttle picks you up?

You make yourself a new dress.

Of course.


A lovely soft jersey. Lovely, but difficult to sew.


And since the fabrics reminds me so much of the Arizona green tea packaging, I'm calling the dress the Arizona dress :-)

Oh well...

Let's say you make an impromptu decision to visit a friend of yours in a place that is famous for its good weather.

But:
Oh well...

A lovely day...

... on the river.


But as so often, life is not fair.

The other three were in kayaks, I was in the car taking care of the logistics :-(
