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.

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.

My now feeling does pop up occasionally. Over the past few weeks, at certain moment during the day, i feel it. Now. Today, while i was walking to Superbra, i watched the birds on the water. I saw ice floating. I heard the sounds it made. All now. Then.

I bought two new bra’s. It was two and a half years ago since i last bought a new bra. The first time i was in this special bra shop. Very enjoyable.

That is it for today. A short post. Nothing special.

*grin*

The photo made of me last Tuesday. Sitting in the garden on the Hogbogen, making an aquarel, a watercolour drawing. Still learning. Very enjoyable to do.

Today i went out and got me a bread and food for my cat. In the Gimsel i also bought bags for vegetables, fruit and bread. I wanted to make them myself, but i couldn’t resist getting them already made. Expensive. Yes. But still very nice. I’ll make many uses of them! I will make some myself. I will look in the attic room once again to see if my old sewing machine is standing there. If i can not find it, i will look for a second hand one. Sowing by hand goes so slow.

I am also thinking about a job vacancy for Rechtstreex. This is for 8 – 12 hours a week, giving out the vegetables and fruits and cheeses and meats people have ordered online. This actually sounds like something i will enjoy doing. I still have time to think about it, i need to write before February 18. I might actually try this.

I hope you will have a good weekend. Salute!

Traveling today. With the train. Listening to music. Moving quietly with it. Happy. As someone said, while i waited for the bus in Amersfoort.

I did check if the music i listened to today was recorded in last.fm or spotify, but no. I don’t have internet access on my phone, so nothing there. Too bad, i would have loved to post a playlist of the music listened to today.

I visited my mum. Talked with her about my house and the events in my life the past few months. It was alright. A bit scary, but i felt really really happy. Like, over the moon. I love my mum.

That is it for today. I will try to quiet down. Watch some Buffy. Try to get a bit more sleep tonight. Hopefully.

Salute!
