Travelling is fun, but then there is home.
Day 65 – The reason for coming home
Category: 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.
Day 53 – Glass and carafes
After I moved to South Africa, wine automatically became a big part of my environment. After I met my husband, I even learned something about it. (Although I still let him to choose our wines, as his knowledge greatly exceeds mine.) Our bar at home is always filled with good bottles, big glasses, and little gadgets.
Day 52 – Home decor
I’m starting run out of ‘easy’ targets in the home for these weeks when I get home late and tired. Some still remain. This picture highlights the main colors we have in our home – white, black and red, with some orange thrown in the mix.
Day 50 – Paw of a sleepy pup
50 days down, 300+ to go.
When it’s cold, Merlin loves to snooze snuggled up in the blanket. Luckily he doesn’t mind sharing. The closer he can snooze to the humans, the better.
Day 49 – Spice up your life
Passion for cooking comes with a lot of spices. A lot. Especially when one enjoys different cuisines, each with their own flavour map. When we moved to our new house, one of my favourite things was to get a drawer just for all of the jars. It makes them so much easier to find.
Day 45 – Benefits of working from home
I try to work from home about once a week. I don’t live very close to the office, so working from home gives me quite a lot of extra time to the day. I spent a little bit of that extra time today to make myself a great prawn salad for lunch – and to eat it outside on the terrace in the sunshine. Tough times!
Day 43 – Pasta for dinner
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 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.
