it's raining. by which i mean: pretty much non-stop. i find myself looking at the calendar and thinking: weather, are you out of your mind? it's august! perhaps you have exhausted yourself in june and july with that heatwave, instead of pacing yourself a little. and see what good it's doing? learn from it!
only, that doesn't really change things.
and so. even though i'm refusing to utter the name of the coming season just yet and stubbornly hold on to summer, i will tell you (and myself) what to look forward to:
plum cake (will try nath's recipe pronto)
dramatic skies
wind
socks (really? not so sure)
a new scarf
a walk by the lake (any lake will do)
bill evans
the new, tiny farmers market on seelower strasse
what are you looking forward to? (northern or southern hemisphere, i want to know it all.)
p.s.: do you think you could help me with something? i'm compiling a list of nice places to see in sydney and melbourne for a friend (wish i could go!). think great neighbourhhods, cafés, shops, galleries, parks. if you left me a comment or emailed me with ideas that would be so good! thank you!

we have the same weather here and i'm doing exactly the same as you. clinging on to what has been a surprisingly good summer, weather-wise. i'm looking forward to making bottled plums this year.

oh lord. after years of complaining about it, i crave the english rain now. the heat and humidity in zagreb has been overbearing! coats and wearing my new brogues is what i am looking forward to, and walking just after rain on an early autumn evening...
ReplyDeletep.s. that dessert is killing me and i don't even like cake! so pretty.
I lived in and loved Coogee beach. It was my favorite of the Sydney beaches! I hope I can back there with my wife one day!
ReplyDeletei just made an apple pie... or shouldn´t have i told you that...
ReplyDeletep.s. hi girlfriend!
OK I am your girl for Sydney and I might even have some Melbourne tips, I shall compile a list and email you. I wish you were coming too !!!
ReplyDeleteWe are just about to go into spring here in Australia, must say I can't wait !!!
I have been working with a store called INCU (Sidney) and they just opened in Melbourne. The team behind these stores are the nicest and I can really recommend their taste. So if I had the chance to go over seas I would go there.

ReplyDeleteOh! Bill Evans...one of the best! I'm looking forward to making soup.
ReplyDeletelovely photo ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree August in Berlin hasn't been very peculiar. I'm looking to long bike rides in the fresh Autumn air, lots of homemade soups and wearing boots.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture this. You are so good with food shots, I find them sooo difficult.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to watching films with family/friends in the sofa, light candles and listen to the rain - all at once.
And clear skies, as clear as they come only in fall.
And finishing my granny square blanket!
