Just wanted to let you know, that we're back on festland. Arriving home was like the best thing ever. Being on a trip is great, but home is home, that's like your castle, your stronghold. I was amazed how much energy we had after arriving from a tiresome- tiresome drive, while we could only think of getting upstairs and going straight to bed. But we cooked (Martin did :P), filled the washing-machine, twice, had dinner, unpacked everything and, when Juss went to bed, even watched a movie. Wow. We could see that Juss was equally happy to be back; he was like all over the place, going through his toys and running from one room to the other. In that sense i can understand my friends well, who, having been living in France for two years, decided that it's easier to return, than to stay here for the summer, living one week in one place, the next one in another, until they find a new home.
The apples on the tree tops are getting ready. And sometimes the wind brings the smell of autumn. Not yet, but it'll come. We're heating the apartment for the first time this summer,' cos it's been raining all day and the nights tend to get chilly. Only +10C. Our tomato-experiment is doing okay. I guess it's just nice to have the plants around, the amount of tomatoes doesn't matter. It's almost as if they had been waiting for us to return and two turned red for celebrating.
For now: i want to snuggle up in a blanket and sleep. I'll just stare a while into the fireplace, before i go.
Hope to share some of the photos of the island this week too.
