Late summer walks
These past few last summer days were good ones; sunny and warm enough to wear a shirt and flip flops, so I decided to get my lazy behind outside and walk around town. Admittedly it bores me to walk alone, but then I'm used to being alone and it's better to be alone outside than alone at home.
I try to be more active on my own during the week, to decrease the pressure on hubby to "entertain" me on the weekends. He needs time to relax too.
So I walk around, enjoy the sunshine and take too many photos.
Bike hunting
I've been obsessed with the idea of buying a new bicycle lately. One that is more comfortable, more relaxed, less sporty. A dutch style city bike, in a fancy color of course.

Happy Sunday
Three months till christmas, yikes!
I'm so lazy lately, can't bring myself to do anything. I wasted way too much time on Instagram, fighting the algorythm, trying every possible thing to get seen by my own followers and gain new ones, real ones, not those crap companies or super bloggers who follow today and unfollow tomorrow.
Instagram ruins itself by adding stories. Of course it's easier to just swipe from one story to the next, rather than endlessly scrolling down a chaotic senseless feed cluttered with ads.
I switched to a business account in order to get stats, which seemingly made my low visibility even worse. Now I give up.
F*#@ you, Instagram!
And back to blogging, which is waaayyyy more work, but worth it. Probably. At least it feels less like a monologue than Instagram.
So August is gone, and here's a little recap.
Happy Sunday
It's no secret that I absolutely love stripes. Couldn't resist ordering these beauties from Joules. The sweater was a catastrophe, unfortunately. Never ever have I seen such poor quality on a piece of garment. Needless to say I returned it, as well as the white dress. It made me look as pale as a ghost. With a coupon and free shipping, I only paid 15€ for the blue striped dress. Bargain numero uno.
Sunny Summer Sunday
After four days of non-stop helicopter noise and police/emergency sirens, we were rewarded with the finest ( and quiet) summer Sunday as a compensation for that insane G20 madness. So we finally took our bikes for the first tour this year.
What's growing?
My "Grow your own" obsession continues. The latest project is a pineapple. It's so easy ( at least in theory): cut the crown, put it in water, wait for the roots to grow, then plant in soil. We'll see if it works.
Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday and a June recap.
Hubby surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of 25 roses for 12 1/2 years.
