i didn´t tell you, but...

...i found a new friend, love at first sight!

Olives, from disgust to delight

It has taken me probably 3 years since I decided I wanted to learn to eat olives, till today where I actually buy them in the store because I am hungry for them.

Really I am not picky when it comes to food, but there has been and still is a few foods I don´t care for at all or find disgusting. Olives have been in the disgusting category all my life, did not care for that salty yuky taste. While watching friends and father devourer them with great delight I could only frown.

Then I decided, I wanna eat them too. Slowly but surely, starting with eating a tiny bit of a tiny olive TOGETHER with something else, I ended up with today in the produce store buying extra nice green olives stuffed with peper. I can eat them alone now and can feel that one day I will love eating them like that, for now I am just almost there:-)

So now I am ready for the next food product I don´t like that I "should" like....not sure yet what.

summer, sometimes sun and a week of sundays

I must say, travelling is adventure, but home is vacation.

This week I decided to stay home, do whatever I want when I want... It´s been the best vacation for many years.

I been going to the library a lot, just getting loads of books (and dvds, dont recommend, they are so damaged that you can only see half the movie) most of them I return again without reading them, but it´s nice to have the choices.

I went to the garden where I have the greenhouse, the cucumbers are going crazy and the blackcurrant and gooseberries are ripe. It´s gourgeous out there at the moment, very SUMMER, the nature when you go there and the place itself, wonderful.

Today I went to the garden store, Plantorama and that´s my new favorite store, I had to restrict myself from buying all the flowers I liked... So all I got was some flowers for our balcony and for the front entrance and then a "peace lily" for my room:-D heheheewe.

Tonight I am debating whether to go to a concert or not, I am leaning forwards staying at home... Maybe start a puzzle that I got from the thrift store....hm, big decisions eh, live love life as grandma says.
