corner view ≈ out on a mobile limb [or... whatevva]

whether walking 

the streets 

of brussels, 

ghent,

ninove 

or geraardsbergen, 

adventure is at arm's length, 

surprise at the ready, 

solution at hand.

scribbles on an indian summer

i left a scribble for son before i set off.
into the sunshine, i dare say. 

the indian summer keeps on pouring on us.
m. had it all planned. 

we decided on mussels for lunch,
a splash of golden delicious and
the cake to be made. 

the one cake: the nigella cake.
it'd been a while, but it came out sound,
and delivered.
oh,
my precious oven that i miss. 

m. wanted gingerbread billy bunters.
we made them.

by jove, we made them. 

i even cracked her cookie mold! 

this morning i did go and pick up the bicycle i left behind. 

the walk through quiet landscape felt invigorating. 

on my way back i bumped into alice.
just to top up the day.

so.
i would like to know.
how about you's?  

drawing | development

development makes me wonder whether possible progress always and automatically leads to something new. whether development perhaps serves as a deserving tool to (self)reflection upon life and its circumstances in general, and from the dawn state of a project to its finishing point in particular? are we talking constant re-creation, re-development? does our circle of challenges, ladies and friends, reflect well upon the eternal (re)turn of life and death,

like e.g. the snake biting its own tail? ariane gathers the others on development.

corner view ≈ october

almost one year ago, i moved in at l's. that was after one hectic october, in which i both tried to manage renovation going on (or rather stagnating, and thus pressing builders) and plan an akward house move.

to this day, most of our furniture remains in limbo. we kind of live from boxes (and therefore lead a diluted, sparse if you like, daily life). oi, it can wear the most optimistic soul down.

october last year, and october this year therefore leave me well stranded, trying to make sense of it all. i should really put on this, and give october a well deserved kick up the --- (whilest keeping the spirit up though.)

october on kari's mind, on jane's corner view, hosted by fuoriborgo.

drawing | family

it's been a while (library school to be exact), when i came across a less obvious definition to family. just as much interrelating as the family troupe we commonly know, but alot, and alot bigger: the family of nouns, the gathering of terms, the sharing of definitions, the organizing of things. let's also think amoebae.
let me assure you, back then, i grew pretty desperate on the subject. trying to grasp it, i cursed under my breath. for there's a system to work yourself through, there's a one and only way to do this properly. i only just passed the test. and forgot all about it by the time we left thesauri behind. still thinking amoebae.
since family as we know it comes a little akwardly to me anyway, i would like to grab the bigger picture. of course, one could also argue i just felt like doodling about in organic thoughts. greta thought up family for this week's theme.
