Life should not be a multi-player game. Game-playing means that we are tirelessly competing, stressing, and trying to guess and react to what is behind the next corner till it is GAME OVER.
Life should be a story we tell by loving, laughing, planting and building till our last breath at THE END.
My father-in-law has this new obsession for mustard vinaigrette these days. While D’s parents consume a specific brand of store bought vinaigrette, I made my own using a handful of pantry ingredients. This way, I know what goes in and may easily make a small amount for myself.
Automatic conversion is an essential financial tool. It has made walking to the ATM, to perform currency exchanges, a thing of the past.
This morning temperature was around 20°C, which was fine. By the time D and I left the house at around noon to the parents for a barbecue lunch, the temperature was rising rapidly. After our meal outdoors, we had to go indoors because it was becoming too warm for comfort. By mid afternoon, the temperature hit the 31°C mark.
It is crazy and worrying how warm it can get in just a few hours. Will human beings be able to adapt and fare well to temperature fluctuations like this in the long run?

I have just spent the entire morning cleaning ALL the windows, inside and out! The cleaning can no longer be put off because the windows were so embarrassingly filthy. 😛
Next up will be the two rooftop windows. And because I need the extension ladder to reach those, the task of cleaning them will be for another time. Also, the stars need to be aligned for that one…
You are two years older. We spent a lot of our early childhood together until you moved away in the 70s. We did what kids back then do and had so much fun. Oh the crazy hide-and-seeks we played in grandpa’s house!
You are only two years older. How it is that you are gone so soon? Farewell my dear cousin. You will be missed.
D and I biked to the Gavers yesterday afternoon. The event was called Gavers Dag previously. I have no idea why they changed the name.
The weather was not so great, so like last year, the turn out was pretty low.
D and I did enjoy ourselves though. We watched some people snorkelling, then saw wild birds getting freed, went to little stands to taste leftover rescue food, listened to bird songs, and checked out some world class taxidermy.
We did not stay to drink at the café this time. There is always next time. The Gavers is so close to home it is literally our backyard…
When D and I started watching Pantheon, I thought that it will be just another science fiction animation series. Well… I was quite wrong.
The story went almost seamlessly from awkward teenage geeks to creation of universes. There were so many science fiction elements and human emotions packed into the two seasons, I needed a couple days to mind-digest the whole thing! 😛
Definitely not your regular science fiction.
Two days ago, I made gazpacho for the first time in my life. It was tasty!
Today, I used up the rest of the tomatoes I got from the in-laws and made a pot of tomato soup.
Cold and hot soup, a simple step in reducing food waste.
