Update

I just realised I haven't posted for a while... 

One of the reasons is that I've been away. Again :-)

Enjoying some classic Tuscany landscape... and some wonderful Tuscan art.

 

And some classic views:

Another reason is that after successfully avoiding covid for over two years, I now tested positive :-(

Red and red and more red...

No, I'm not complaining. 

We've got about 15 kg of red currant from our garden.

And this year we ended up having a lot of cherries as well...

So red currant jam, red currant-strawberry jam, frozen red currant, frozen cherries, cherry strudel, cherry cake, cherry clafoutis, cherry-red currant jam... 

And we haven't even started harvesting the sour cherries! They need one to two more weeks to ripen.

Pax et bonum

Is there a special club for people whose bicycles had been stolen?

Count me in.

And while I do wish Pax et Bonum to everyone, to you, who stole our bikes, I wish that the ebike battery explodes.

Umbria is still pretty, though.

I've been away :-)

A lot of "aways" recently ;-)

This time to an interesting old town in Austria.

 

 

 I did say Austria, right?

Music

A few days ago I was reminded by a very good friend of mine of Cohen's Anthem. 

It brought back memories...

Yes, this is a T-shirt I painted with the album cover.

But then I accidentally heard Gabriel Bruce's El Musgo. 

And I am happy.

More crazy weather

I wasn't the only one who noticed the huge temperature differences within one day:

Not where I live, but they went from -8 in the morning to 22 during the day. 

Another interesting trivia (and super worrying) is that there was not a single drop of rain in March so far. Likely to remain like this. 

Not good. 

Not good at all.

Update: we finally had some rain! A little bit on the 30th, but a whole lovely rainy day on the 31st. My garden is happy.

Spring!

This is spring in Ljubljana:

And this is spring in Antibes:

Complete saturation of colours, senses and emotions.
