Better Late Than Never: The Changing Seasons – June 2021

Yep, that’s right, I’m almost 3 weeks late for June’s Changing Seasons post, and here’s the reason why. I was reasonably proud for having completed my doodle calendar for June just in time, and was about to write the post, when I encountered a problem with my WordPress blog.Said problem was, that after clicking on

The Changing Seasons – Spring Edition

First of all: I want to apologize to all of you for staying away from blogging without even announcing or explaining it for so long. I had – what I now know in hindsight – what you might call a digital burnout. All of a sudden I felt I had to pull my digital plug

The Changing Seasons – January 2021

The theme of this month’s The Changing Seasons post is very easy to detect: colours! (And incidentally you’ll also find lots of beautiful colors in my dear friend Su’s experiments with alcoholic inks.) It’s funny, because the world around me presents itself in its rather usual bleaky grey during winter, so maybe I just try

My Year in Books

I’ve always been an avid reader and my guess is, that many of you share my passion for books and reading. And if you happen to follow me on Instagram you know how books make a regular appearance there on my stories. 😉 My friend Lani from over at “Life, the Universe, and Lani” (hint:

The Changing Seasons – October 2020

I can’t believe how fast October went by! And that it’s time again for Su‘s wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons!

“I say let the world go to hell, I should always have my tea.” – Fjodor Dostojevski

My dear friend Su has come up with the fabulous idea to host a virtual tea party each month, indulging us with her wonderful photos of delicious food, beautiful china and great tea. These days I have to admit that I think quite a lot about food. It’s almost an obsession. As soon as I’m

The Raspberry Mystery

  My dear friend Su has come up with the fabulous idea to host a virtual tea party each month, indulging us with her wonderful photos of delicious food, beautiful china and great tea.     It’s a truth universally acknowledged that whenever fresh raspberries are anywhere near me, they vanish into thin air almost instantaneously. Scientists have been

Film Friday – “Don’t call me stupid.”

  Film Fridays is a project initiated by Darren from over at The Arty Plantsman and me. After doing a daily music challenge for a month last year we talked about doing something similar for movies. And the current global lockdowns give us the perfect excuse to start! Many of us are confined to home with only the

Corvid-2020 weekly Challenge #10

  My wonderful friend Tracy from over at Reflections of An Untidy Mind started a lovely new blog challenge nine weeks ago – the Corvid 2020 Weekly Challenge. Here’s a little snippet from her, so you know what it’s all about: “Corvids are birds belonging to the Corvidae family, encompassing ravens, crows, magpies, jays and nutcrackers. So peruse
