On our last holiday Monday together we drove off to “aperitiefconcert” in Zelzate. Rony Verbiest played with his band in a hot white tent. In the break we bought some cds – 2 of the new one and one older where he plays saxophone – all signed. I’ll send one of the new cds to my father (as we couldn’t find any in June before our trip to Finland).

The rest of the day was just chilling in the garden.. for once it did not rain.

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…
