Instant colour

I enjoy flowers.  I enjoy gardens.

I do not enjoy gardening nor do I have a green thumb.

But in spring pansies and forget-me-nots are a fast way to fake it.

Stitch witch

I am not normally a prolific sewer but I have a sewing machine and can use it in a pinch.  The pinch, as we all unfortunately know, is now and it is masks.  I have been sewing for friends and family and myself. Then I took on the task of sewing masks for the local hospital and old age home and I had to follow a certain pattern.  I won’t tell you how that went – but it took me a few days to do it without swearing (too much).

Anyway, I’ve come to rely again on the tools above.

And just to make this post a more cheerful one, here is some material I picked up today for – more masks, of course. Shops were closed for a few weeks and now they are open again (the smaller ones at least) provided they adhere to hygienic standards (social distancing, masks, not more than a certain amount of customers inside).

Lightbulb moments

2016 lightbulb

When our lightbulb in the guest toilet broke, I decided to change the whole fitting not just the bulb.  And why not have some fun in this room?

2016 lightbulb 2

Fun fact: In German, a lightbulb is not a bulb but a pear (Glühbirne).

Q:  How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: One.  We are very efficient.  And don’t have any humour.
