A short talk

More than five weeks ago i sold my house. I have been spending some money since then. A new camera. A new iPad. A new computer. Today i bought one of the final things. Final Cut Pro. It is a bit dazzling to buy all these things. Especially after the frugal years i leave behind.

I know, i can only live in my house for two more years. But for now, i’m treating myself. Giving myself the good stuff to work with. Giving myself a chance to work more, better.

I will go back to making videos. I have been filming in the garden already. It still feels far away, but it is closer than it feels. I have been drawing on the iPad. Making photos. All these new things. Making walks again. Lovely.

I will move on. I will not give up. Not give in. Not for now. It does feel like a time all for myself. This time. A time to work in. To be happy in.

All day

Home all day. Reading. Watching tv, the Olympics. Listening to music. Making my hair more blond. Going through all the photos i made yesterday. More than two hundred. I picked a hundred and ten decent enough for using.

Sometimes ideas pop up. But these days i do feel a bit more quiet. A bit more here. In Rotterdam. Observing yes, not that much a part of it. But i do enjoy it. Learning something new each day. Even if it is a small thing.

The next days i will start preparing for my birthday. Not a big celebration. I will bake two cakes for Sunday. There is also a fire at the garden Sunday evening. I will probably make some sauerkraut. I still have quite a lot from last November. Together with some apples, onions, several herbs, juniper berries. Yeah.

A quiet day. Trying to get myself quiet within me.

Shhh.

Photographing

This afternoon, early evening, i was asked to make photographs of the Green Debate. Before, i walked past a eyewear shop. I knew they were selling wonderful wooden glasses. Too expensive i’m sad to say. I walked past the Museumpark after that. Made a few photos. Looked at some birds. And the museum.

Cool.
