Time flies....

.... when you're having fun! That's the old saying, and it sure holds true for me.

Having a blast with my "retirement" and staying as busy as I want. Getting lots of baking done, and re-acquainting myself with sewing. (I am appalled at how much I have forgotten!)

Two weeks from today Norbert and I take off for five days at the North Sea.  If the weather is good, there will be lots of long walks and bike rides. If not, there will be lots of days curled up in our bungalow reading and relaxing! Sounds like win-win to me.

After that Advent starts, and involves lots of Christmas markets and bazaars. So lovely to have the time to go to them, and not have to work on weekends, so I can get to those bazaars. As to the big German Christmas markets, Aachen and Cologne are are "must-do"s this year.

Apart from that, it is time to start rooting through everything in the house and decide whether it still deserves a place in our life or not. How on earth does one accummulate so much stuff, and why is it so easy to just hang on to it?  Time to get merciless!

The last of the fudge brownie muffins has just disappeared, so it is time for something more. Got some bananas on sale last week, so it looks like banana muffins are on the menu. Personally I hate bananas but my two guys eat them.

Also slowly gathering Christmas presents to send to the US -- really need to get a move on with that. Won't be as many this year :-(

No real news here, sorry about that.
