Hello!
My days and weeks are very fragmented at the moment, and the only thing I can think of to do here this week, is post a few of those fragments.
Sunday
No workmen today. Ah, sigh of relief. I’m very grateful to them for all the work they are doing, and they are really nice guys, but I’m also grateful for a day without them. It isn’t just the upheaval. It’s also having to dance the distancing dance that we have been performing in shops and in the street this past year at home now, too, that is stressful.
After breakfast we’re escaping the house for a walk in the wood. Many trees are still bare, and in some places it still looks very wintry, but the amelanchiers are in bloom. Although torrential rain on Friday has made them look slightly dishevelled, they’re still worth photographing.
I enjoyed reading your post very much. After all, it speaks of real life with its everyday ups and downs. We’re going through a similar renovation, and the thoughts of a thorough clean when it has been completed is causing me stress! I love the linen stitch piece that you are knitting… what will it become? Also, it’s so wonderful to know that you are celebrating the end of WWll during this time each year… my uncle’s name is etched upon the monument at Margraten, as you might remember per our earlier conversation. Thank you for sending such an interesting post!
Of course I remember your uncle! We owe a lot to men like him. I’ll write about the linen stitch project sometime during the coming weeks. Wishing you lots of luck with your renovation!
Thank you… it was lovely to hear from you!
I think you are holding up really well in all the chaotic surroundings. I enjoyed the read, and can relate to the fragmented feelings. I admire that you keep a positive focus.
Cheers! Cynthia
It’s been a struggle now and then, but taking pictures and writing a daily blog portion has helped me focus outside myself and see things in perspective. We’re almost back to normal (inside our house, I mean. Outside everything is still far from normal.) Thanks for visiting!
