Enjoying the Weekend@home// lifestyle

HI everyone! Well its nearly the end of August ,  I can't believe it!
A few projects we started during the lockdown and prior to, organizing is top on the list.
Then a few garden goodies to enjoy over the summer also was a nice treat.

So what were some of things you have been enjoying this month´?


GARDENING, and other things.....


The last few weeks have been so hot here. The idea of doing anything in the heat was not appealing.
So decided to gather up some of the vegetables that are growing , tomatoes galore! So many can't possibility eat them all. So decided to make soup.  A nice treat to have though I eat it cold , more like a juice really. I love tomatoes and most vegetables really.

The neighbours have an apple tree ,bags of apples which we get  to make apple sauce .

Yes a home garden can really make summers delicious with all the produce and vegetables to
partake of .



ORGANIZING ....
this has become a very  good or bad thing, depending on how i look at it. Its also great to get somethings cleared out . My dearest is a big techno and audio fiend , so there is always something
laying around. wires cables,magazines etc. We finally replaced his old dark bookcases with some modern  white units. So it really lightens up the space.  One room  I have named the NASA  room because of all the computers , it is also suppose to be a guest/exercise space. . In that space we changed  the shelfs also , with birch units and a tall storage unit. Can never have enough storage!! But there is still plenty to do, a lot more actually.  ; ((   An ongoing project.

DREAMING  OF......
after all the months of the pandemic, I am sure most of the world is praying that the vaccines will be
available soon. I sure am! Even though I can't complain, I am getting really bored of the daily grind,
the lack of close contact with others, going places.  Once this craziest is over, a trip somewhere is on my list! Maybe even a road trip.  The best times I have had was when we drove through parts of Europe! Going to places not on the usual tourists list.

  1. Lovely post! I resonated with your words about the pandemic. I enjoyed hearing about your projects especially related to your fruit and veg cooking as I’ve been growing some this past year or so. The weather has been very mixed near us but gardening had been a nice activity during this time. :-) xx

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui
