a bandage on my arm by BLOGitse

What a mess my life is now!
Our stuff from Casa arrived and we have too much of everything.
We’ve recycled this and that but not enough. sigh!

The weather is beautiful, at the end of the week it’s going to be hot, +30 C / 86 F!

Why my life is a mess?

No shower for two days…you see why!

 

mosquito bite was here by BLOGitse

An old mosquito bite encapsulated and it’s going to be analysed. It should be “clean’, just an old bite…
Stitches will be removed after two weeks…argh!

Don’t ask me why I didn’t change the operation time…

autumn would’ve been much better time for this!

From our back yard it’s only 1 minute to a foot/bike path.

Only a couple of minutes more and you can choose

from many directions where to walk/bike – woods, beach, city center…
