Stuart is away for the week, so my dinners are a bit more simple. Pasta with good pesto is a weekday savior. With some good parmesan.
Day 43 – Pasta for dinner

Day 42 – Rest
While I went shopping today (not something I was not very excited about), I dropped Merlin off for a ‘playdate’ at friend’s house (Remember Merlin’s best friend, Jozi from day 21?). The main benefit from taking Merlin there for a day is that he is exhausted afterwards and requires no attention, thus leaving me to read – or edit photos.
Day 41 – Yellow and pink
While on a walk, we came across these massive flowers – every flower was almost as big as my head. As it often happens, the photos I took were no match for the reality, so I’ll just post this one with an interesting focus effect. I’ll go back and try again.
Day 38 – Few of many
Ever since the Kindle entered my life many years ago, I have been able to reduce the amount of (additional) shelf space I need in my house. The only books I still buy as printed editions are travel guides (you never know how good Wi-Fi you are going to have) and cookbooks. That being said, we’ll soon need a bookcase for the cookbooks alone. What are your favourites?
Day 36 – Anything left?
Merlin loves food. With passion. His favourite times of the day are the mealtimes and not a second is wasted in gulping down the food. He has also developed a very accurate internal clock for the mealtimes, and is diligent in ensuring we don’t miss the right moment – at least not by more than 10-15 seconds.
Day 35- Dent in the water
Getting back into the habit of taking photos has made me much more appreciative of little things. For example, I am not sure if I’ve ever before looked at a straw closely enough to realise it actually makes a little dent in the water.
Day 34 – Splot in a jug
The weekend becomes quite uneventful, when your husband is sick (it’s not quite the man-flu but the next worst thing…). Thus I spent my weekend reading and playing with some shapes in the water.
Day 32 – Mortar and pestle
With all the fancy trinkets in the kitchen, there is still nothing that quite brings the same joy of cooking as a good mortar.
Day 31 – Tea and fire
While we were on holiday, the winter sneaked in. With the change-of-season flu going strong, cup of tea and fire are the perfect way to end an evening.
Day 24 – Packing, packing, packing
I’ve spent the last week in a trip with no laptop, and no internet – and frankly better things to do than edit photos… So I apologise for the delay in posting these.
Packing is never fun. At best it is quick and relatively painless. At worst it is… well… as if you were trying to try to pack for a trip where the weather can be anything from 5-30 C, you are not sure what you’ll be doing, or where you’ll be going. But you know there will be no possibility of buying anything you may have left behind.
