This flower is from monday before we left the forest for few days. S will be back tomorrow..

Not far from this flower grows a birch. It’s just a twig but survived the heavy winter and I’d like to see it become a tree. We’ve got lots of big trees in our garden but no white birch yet.

Not far from this flower is a shelter for two rabbits. One of them was a free “gift” and we call him Topi instead of Toby. But he looks like marilyn manson used to, with his white face and black smeared around his eyes. He arrived two weeks ago sort of against my will. Two days ago we bought him a friend who’s got floppy ears. It was love at first sight for Topi.

Next to this flower stands a tree that is called shademaster – at least i think so.

Not far from this flower goes the path of forest cows. We can see them pass by our garden behind the greenness and catch a glimpse of golden hair (or black curls) when they turn towards the sunset at the open corner. They always make me think of the unicorns in the end of the world.

Since saturday we have a white mermaid sitting on top of our water wells. Longing to get green from moss..

I’ve just ordered a set of dutchys for the chicken.

Golden locks swinging in the sunset..

After shopping in Lokeren. Parah & black Marlies Dekkers with Swarovski crystal bits..

Storm is blowing over Belgium today. It started to wind real hard in the afternoon and immediately all the windows became steamy on the inside. One of the roof tiles blew off from the top, next to the chimney.

Last weekend we moved the chicken to the other side of the house and they’re doing fine work there. Most of the moss is already loose and they pick all kinds of larvae and insects from the ground that might be bad for vegetables.

As usual we made nice plans to go somewhere in the weekend but didn’t go anywhere further than to visit our neighbors (about 300 meters away) around the noon to check their signal (which was ok so the problem was in the box) and brought them two pulla’s and three twigs of witch hazel as gift.

Yesterday we did some shopping in lidl but were not so pleased with the stuff they got so we probably won’t do it again. I guess we’re spoiled then..

Fatal slip on tuesday morning when turning to left from the river. Face forward to the ground. Smashed my teeth together and lost a white piece. Red woolen glove appeared and lifted me on my feet again. State of shock – it all happened so fast. Left knee swollen and purple climbed on brompton and drove on. Blood on my lip.

The dentist showed a picture of thin fractures on my tooth. White cat sneaked in the operation room but was soon put out. While paying the phone rang and the dentist handed it to me. Got a green paper with wrong name on it (but i didn’t know it yet) and went back to work to get my phone. White cat saw me leaving. Filled in some papers with carla then went back to the dentist to get a new green paper with my own name on it. White cat was playing sphinx in the lobby.

When driving home with S i started to feel pain on my left side. A black cat run over the main street of sint-kruis-winkel. My Valentine’s gift in black lace had also arrived that morning. Again on the top of the mailbox and the wrapping was wrinkled. Hate Belgian post as much as ever. Lacks quality in their services.

Wednesday evening a delicious pizzas (perla di salvatore & quattro stagioni) in casa nostra. S is full of good ideas. :)

Today i’m staying home with geike.

Because of Valentine we had champagne and i baked pullaa. It’s been a while (years) so the results were not perfect but good enough. Should have used more butter, sugar and cinnamon – and real yeast.

It snowed so thickly that our signal got disturbed and that’s why it was not much of a pleasure to watch the afternoon film romeo and juliet. But i had junebug from last night. And yesterday’s lasagne… mmm…

Thought I’d cook something different tonight. I never made pasta sauce with salmon before.

We saw helaasheid yesterday in studio skoop. It was bit of a hassle to find a parking at that hour but we managed to squeeze into a gap within walking distance. S was sitting on my left side and at the same time he managed to flash on the silver screen for a second or two. Someone or something smelled like cat pee in the cinema but i soon got used to it and didn’t smell anything anymore. With all the hype around the film since it’s release and even before there was no way it could possibly match with my expectations. So so.

After the movie we had perfect wok in de orchidee. I chose indian sauce.

The bell for playmobil school arrived this morning. My disrespect towards the Post of Belgium remains unchanged. We were about to leave to work when S heard a car. Sometime later at the gate he found a small package on top of the mailbox. It rains often in this country and all kinds of people live here. We already lost one package about a week and half ago – probably happened the same way but someone else got there first.

My library books are extremely late again.

My last twitter was 100 days ago.

My arm is still not ok.

Today i was planning to remove every piece of seasonal decoration and dye my hair fresh copper again. Instead i started with backing up & updating my wordpress and for the rest of the day i’ve been helping S with wordpress and a new site for DvhS. We had quick and late lunch from the leftovers of yesterday’s spinach lasagne..

Oh, and after breakfast i played Róisín Murhpy’s new song from the internet (momma’s place) and S immediately linked it to ’80s, Farley Jackmaster Funk and Roadblock by S+A+W. His brain makes fast connections when it comes to music.

Earlier this week we met in De Wan after work and some guy there wanted to hear Rod Piazza (and the mighty flyers) so the cafébaas looked it up for him. Makes your feet move to the beat! ;)

We did a short walk on sunny street to bring the new year’s cards to some of our neighbors.

Back home yesterday the pump had no pressure to bring up water. So we’re doing without and it sucks. We need to call someone.

It’s freezing outside again. We never had this cold winters in Gent but here it’s already the second time that it happens. Our street is covered with ice.

I think we need to go to sauna / swimming pool this week.
