Sonniges Frühstück. Und wieder neue Blätter im Frühbeet. Dieses Jahr werden wir hoffentlich mehr als 2 Radieschen ernten. Bestimmt.

Sunny breakfast. And again new leaves in the mini “glasshouse”. I’m sure this year we will harvest more than 2 raddish.

running around

rockthathorse_running_01

Ohje, ich hab mich für einen 10 Kilometer-Lauf angemeldet. Nur noch 18 Tage Zeit, um in Form zu kommen! Also laufe ich. Um den See zum Beispiel. Vorbei an diesem schönen Rietlager, welches ich vorher noch nie gesehen hatte… So erkunde ich endlich mal die Gegend (wird auch höchste Zeit nach 8 Jahren!).

I signed up for a 10k run through one of Amsterdam’s parks. Only 18 days left to get in form. Now I have to run around. Around the lake for example. Where I discovered this beautiful reed storage. First time I saw this in 8 years! Exploring the area by running…

Temperatures are rising

Wie lang dauert’s noch? Grad mal eingesät, aber schon wird jede Minute geguckt, ob “die Blumen” schon gewachsen sind. Vielleicht zur Sicherheit doch nochmal giessen?

How long does this take? Checking every minute if “the flowers” have come out yet. Giving them loooooooots of water to grow.

First weekend

Erstes Wochenende im Sommerhaus. Die Heizung blieb nachts an. Vor ein paar Jahren war’s um die gleiche Zeit schon so heiss, dass wir in den See gesprungen sind… darf gar nicht dran denken!

First time in the summerhouse this year. Heating stayed on at night. Same period a few years ago we went swimming in the lake, can you believe it?

Not long ago it was Kira’s birthday and when I asked her what she wished for she said that she wanted a big and yellow gift. Uuuh, pretty difficult one…Last minute I bumped into this inflatable giraffe. How big and yellow can you be? The perfect gift! Did I tell you that I just love giraffes? Turned out that this one was designed in the 1960′s by Czech designer Libuše Niklová. She developed a whole series of inflatable and sound-producing toys. Read more about her work here.

I’m a big fan of crystal shapes. 3 dimensional they are even better! Find more of Ben Blanc’s work here.
