Getting stuff in my house
These table cloths are mine. I still like them. 🙂
Twenty chairs i got from the Vredestuin Noord. Marjolein helpt me, she has a big camper where all the things we had to transport fitted in nicely.
Twenty plates, twenty knives, forks and spoons. Some bowls and serving spoons. Cutting knives. A measuring cup and a sieve.
Three planks to make a table with. Daniël will bring along a fourth one on Sunday. He will pull them together with a back plank with a drill. Extremely nice! 🙂
Early beginnings
Cherry blossom i think - way too early for this, a frost period and all these flowers are dead. I do hope it will flower again when such a thing happens.
Little plants growing up on a wall
Moss
... and more moss
Left behind old cans of beer and other beverages *sigh*
An early start
Aah forgotten!
I just was lying in my bed, my mind still a bit messy. Thinking about my drawings, about dinner this Sunday, what i need to buy, when i want to buy it all. And then i realized. Gasp! I had forgotten today’s post! Damn.
So here i am sitting behind my computer and writing this post. Simply forgotten. I know i thought about it yesterday. I cooked a chicken liver pate yesterday. It is for the dinner party. But i had forgotten to make photo’s while i was making it. I also made cream and butter truffles. Which i know won’t make it untill dinner. They are lovely.
I also thought about the pudding. The vegan trifle is a go. But i am changing my mind about the other pudding for the vegetarians and everything eaters. I’m thinking chocolate mouse is a better idea. Easier to make. And it is really lovely. With some whipped cream. Hmmm 🙂
So my mind is full. The post is only an hour late. I don’t think anyone will notice it. But still. I do apologize.
Salute!

Out With A Bang Dinner Party
Vredestuin Noord
The price
Today i put some more old books in the give away cupboard. I walked to the market and bought a cauliflower and fresh garlic. I plan to make some cauliflower rice recipes.
I bought a kroket and sat down and ate it in front of the library. Watching the people walking by. So many people hide the way they feel. A man sat down a few metres away from me. He started singing. I enjoyed that. It was too far away to hear the song he was singing. When i walked away i could hear a siren of a police car and a ambulance coming closer. It made me feel creepy. Like the world was gonna blow up any minute.
Now i’m home. I’ve been watching some youtube videos. Drank a cup of tea with a currant and coconut bun.
My mind is full of fantasies, of dreams, of hopes and wishes. I know it is most likely none of these will ever happen. But still. You never know. I am thinking of one other thing. What will it cost me? What is the price i need to pay? For something most people just get when they are young and don’t know what to wish for. Something which most people will leave behind like it is nothing.
A boyfriend. Someone to love. Someone to chat with. Cuddle with. Laugh with. Spend hours cooking for. Spend lying on the couch together reading a book. Listening to music. Talk about the world with. A true friend. I hope anyway 🙂
I still need to learn. Get to know the world. The people.
Never give up hope. Never.
Two more posts this year. After Friday i will take a two week break. In 2020 i will be back.
Enjoy the Christmas days if you celebrate them. Enjoy the New Year’s Eve!
Salute!
