Summery

Yes, I feel summery. Joyful. Colourful. Almost like a parrot ;-)

 

Possibly you noticed (probably you didn't) that the far left and the far right dresses are the same pattern. That is because I bought the right one, liked the fit so much that I made myself a copy of it :-D

Frustrating waves

I've always been a fan of tiny puzzles. The cuteness of the pieces gets me every time.

However, a tiny puzzle needs to be of super high quality. And this one unfortunately isn't. The shapes are repetitive, sloppily designed and probably even badly cut. The contrast on the colours is poor. There are so many false ways these pieces 'fit' together that it's becoming frustrating. I will of course solve it but it is not the fun I was hoping it to be.

Oh well.

Holidays!

 Aaand... we've been away again.

 A family of "cinghiali" crossing our path in broad daylight!

 
Crowds at the Elviscot shipwreck.
 

The wreck itself is impressive. 
Creepy. But impressive.

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?
