Hugs, fabrics, moss, … haptic experiences!
Als vorgezogenes Weihnachtsgeschenk (thanks, baby!) bringt der Fornini Back- und Pizzastein die Hitze optimal in den Teig! Der Stein selbst fällt durch sein stattliches Gewicht und seine poröse Struktur eindeutig in die Kategorie “Haptik”, das auf ihm Gebackene erfreut dann Gaumen und Nase! Muss in jeden Haushalt.
Coloring, as we know (see here, and here), is a fabulous haptic experience and restores the Zen! The latest addition to the family of template books is particularly gleeful: The Big Gay Alphabet Coloring Book! I felt starting with “Ice cream” was a good choice in view of the approaching end of summer:
Grand outfits were on display, worn by grand people at Björn’s sister’s Stina 30th birthday party, which took place at the very fitting Gräfsnes Slottsruin, outside Gothenburg. 1890-1930, light colours, safari, were the instructions for the dresscode, given by the fabulous hostess of the evening, and were followed nicely by around three dozen ladies, gents and undecided with an air of nonchalance. Part of the fun was the week long hunt for suitable garments and accessories which preceded the event, at places like Vintage Berlin, Bonnie and Kleid (ibid.), Herr Judit, Stockholm, or Haben Will, Munich. And yes: ALLA på tunnelbanan i Berlin har ju Monokel!!
… aber bis zum Wannsee kamen wir nicht, sondern “nur” bis zum Botanischen Garten in Dahlem. Dort gibt’s allerlei Erstaunliches, wie z.B. ein Glashaus mit Türmchen (jaja, da war noch Geld übrig!), japanische Magnolien mit riesenhaften Blättern, Ribiseln (Johannisbeeren!) mit ebensolchen Früchten und einen Duft- und Tastgarten!
At the end of her vacation, Uni enjoyed some time at the japanese bathhouse Yasuragi outside Stockholm in order to regain some Zen and balance. She was only slightly disturbed by Björn and me celebrating our 4th birthday 🙂
