I admit – a lot of my pictures are of Merlin. But he is cute, willing and always available for photos.
Day 76 – Nose

Day 75 – Samosa factory
Self-made samosas in the freezer are the ultimate just-in-case snack. Stuart and I made another batch today – with just enough fooling around in the kitchen. The problem is that when the in-case moment arrives, the samosas are typically already gone. But we can always make more.
Day 74 – Going to bed
Merlin firmly believes it is his responsibility to lead the way, whether it is in the walk thrugh the park, or – as in here – running from living room to bedroom in the evening. He typically moves too fast for a photo, so I asked him to wait a little to snap this one. Bed can wait for that one extra minute.
Day 71 – Pasta
It’s not the first time I mention pasta as a saviour of a long evening. It’s been busy few weeks at work, and sometimes just cooking dinner becomes a challenge (Stuart is travelling again and thus being no help…) – and I’m not even mentioning the challenge of taking the daily photo. Sometimes you can combine both.
Day 71 – Backyard paradise
Our neighbourhood has a lot of beautiful, mature trees. And they attract a lot of birds. Throughout the year we can listen to an almost continuous bird song – not all of it pretty, but nevertheless.
Day 69 – Peek from behind the book
On a lazy Sunday afternoon (or any other quiet moment really), you never see Stuart without a book or newspaper in his hand. (at least in digital format as in here…) It is OK though – you won’t often catch me without mine either.
Day 67 – Home-grown lemons
Being from Finland, having three lemon trees in my garden has always felt special. Growing citrus tress is not exactly possible in the cold and dark north. Our lemons are nto even ‘normal lemons’, but Meyer lemons – a mix between naartjie and lemon.
The first home-lemons for this year are slowly ripening again. Just a little longer…
Day 66 – Blue and quirky
Some people obsess over bags, shoes, or ties. For me it’s jewellery. One can never have enough of interesting, quirky, and colourful jewellery. Luckily, I don’t really want diamonds – I would just worry I’ll lose them. This helps to maintain some sort of sensible budget.
Day 65 – The reason for coming home
Travelling is fun, but then there is home.
Day 54 – For the love of reading
Me and Stuart both love reading. We both started using Kindles after just a few weeks of living together, as we quickly started running out of wall space. Both of us love buying books and would never sell one – not a combination that works in the normal-sized houses. Nowadays we only buys cookbooks and travel books – everything else is digital.
So today’s photo is an experiment on long exposure photography to celebrate the spirit of reading.
