In the spirit of trying new things and feeling alive, I joined Eva in the tent last night.
To be perfectly honest, it was also easier than having to cart mattress and duvet and pillows and favorite books
back into the house so that she could sleep in her own bed. We might just move permanently into the tent…
It was
wonderfully cool and disturbingly noisy (crickets, dogs, trucks, rooster, and
the 5 o’clock freight plane to
Luanda).

It was also
rather uncomfortable, as Eva tends to throw her legs all over the place. When
she sleeps in my bed,
I often end up hanging half-way over the side…

But certainly
more memorable than sleeping in the bedroom.
Here some pictures from our last holiday weekend. It was again very very VERY hot, and we
spent a lot of
time in the pool. Or sitting on the couch dripping wet, with pools of water collecting at the feet….

Some snap shots from our zoo:
Oh pretty please help me up:
And another little snooze:
Tomorrow it
is back to work. And because I have decided to enjoy the moment instead of
going off in my head, I am
not going to whine. Or at least not a lot…
And before I now go and hang up the washing, here still a little light for you (in case you can't smell it, it is lavender, soothing and calming):

Loved the Zoo! Chickens look very healthy: no wonder the new addition was looking so interested!
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting back to the new "normal". Thinking of you.

Thanks so much dear Isobel! I will stay in the moment and enjoy the new normal. And occasionally i will probably feel sorry for myself and overdose on chocolate :-)
Deletehugs to you
How wonderful that you embraced sleeping in the tent. Not for the comfort but for the memories I am sure you and Eva created. Your last weekend looked peaceful. I hope that your return to schedules and normal life is an easy and welcome transition.
ReplyDeletewie wunderbar januar sein kann;) bei uns ists öde, grau und kalt - deine bilder haben mich deshalb sehr erfreut, liebe jutta:)
ReplyDeleteherzliebst birgit
wow you!
ReplyDeleteand what a beautiful "superbe creature" Eva is.
You will like your first client tomorrow
unless it is unpleasant, and you will treat yourself to a lovely.......
Someone (you) once told me that I handled a situation between me and my man in a very adult like manner. YOU DO TOO!
I love you!
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig hug!
I love camping out. When we go camping now, though, we take along a nice queen-size air mattress that is extra high.
ReplyDeleteLove that pic of Miss Eva lounging in the pool reading.
An air mattress would be so much easier! At least when you can find the pump... We had to blow up our two big pool mattresses with the mouth, took forever.
DeleteHugs to you
Appreciate your blog postt
