three wishes

i thought i'd share three wishes with you - who knows, this might even turn into a series.

1. go to the lake for a walk sometime soon
2. wake up in the morning totally carefree
3. a 6 x 6 medium format film camera (i know, this one is a bit immodest)

what are yours?

more from the sea

an old lifeguard tower in heringsdorf. the days were mostly overcast. but the sound of the sea still is one of the most calming noises i can think of.

have a good weekend!

p.s.: two days ago i found an old table on the street. a neighbour had put it out on the pavement with a sign 'please take' attached to it. it has a lovely wooden top and will be my new kitchen table.

the sea

so much to do. i'm really tired. for now, i'll just leave you - if i may - with these photos from my weekend at the baltic sea.

oh, one more thing: i had a lovely visitor this afternoon: outi came by. hooray for blogging friends!

apples

my friend eva convinced me to come and join her on usedom (an island in the baltic sea) last weekend by texting me: 'it's wonderful here, the garden is full of apples. you must come, we can cook.'

and so i went. a four-hour train ride later (it's not that far really, but the regional train stops just everywhere) i was there. i love that garden. we picked some apples and gathered others that had fallen off the tree and made apple cake, apple jelly and a savoury dish with apple and onion sauce.

as you can see, eva is not only very convincing but also a mean hand model.

morning!

i was wondering why i am feeling a bit funny and realised i had forgotten to have breakfast. (i bet this never happens to jen, who always records her morning meals so beautifully.) but i am a bit like that. there seem to be so many things going on in my mind lately that there just isn't enough room for everything. i remember when i was ten or eleven, i once when to school without my schoolbag. i had to walk 15 minutes to get to the schoolbus stop, then a 45 minute ride to school and i still only noticed when the teacher asked us to take out our books. little miss head in the clouds.

anyway, these are some more pictures from my weekend at the sea. i love that old garden. and the weather was so beautiful that we had breakfast out on the terrace every morning. bliss.

have a good day!

a bit of beach

i'm a bit tired tonight, so there'll be just a bit of beach for you with not much writing to illuminate it all. pictures taken last weekend at heringsdorf on usedom, on the german baltic coast. lovely it was.

let me just say i really enjoyed that there were so many real people on the beach. none of that size zero nonsense.
