Quote

'On nights like this when the air is so clear,

you end up saying things you ordinarily wouldn't.

Without even noticing what you're doing, you open up your heart
and just start talking to the person next to you -

you talk as if you have no audience but
the glittering stars, far overhead.'

- Banana Yoshimito, from Goodbye Tsugumi

'Tijdens dit soort nachten, als de lucht zo helder is,

zeg je dingen die je normaal niet zou zeggen.

Zonder door te hebben wat je doet, open je

je hart en begin je zomaar te praten met

de persoon die naast je zit - je praat

alsof alleen de glinsterende sterren,

ver boven je hoofd, je kunnen horen.'

Thrift Shopping

Every now and again I feel the urge to go thrift shopping.
When I came across this cabinet I just couldn't resist (smile).
The beautiful colour and the grain of the wood dominated the state.
Without even measuring, to make sure it would fit in the back of the car,
I found myself at the cashier when I started thinking again...

(My last bigger purchase at the thrift shop was a waste of money.
Initially it seemed a really good idea, the quality of the painting looked pro.
It turned out it was probably produced by a painting factory and therefore
it was an overpriced purchase. No way I could make a profit on this)

Thankfully the cabinet fitted in the back of my car, pffff (sigh of relief).
Then I started asking myself how the kenderman would respond.
The kenderman liked the cabinet despite the current state.
It's still in a bad state and craving for some TLC...
but it's already providing space to some kender treasures.

Winter's Day

What do you like to do on a grey winter's day?

We love a nature walk with good friends.
