Today is officially my first day of moving!  I am terrified.  My packrat/hoarder tendencies make for a lot of junk to go through, and even more stuff.  This heat isn’t making it any easier.  Starting is always the hardest part, so I am starting by clearing out some of the stuff where I’m moving, which is not mine, and thus much easier to handle.  Hopefully the wind outside keeps up, as anything above 25C is death to me without a stiff breeze right in my face.

Just as I punctuated that last part and was about to hit ‘send’, a giant airplane cruised over the house.  Like, right over.  Looked like a war-era transporter, doing a sharp turn right over the hill.  I got a couple of pictures as it sped away, but I wish I could have gotten one of the view from where I was sitting, it was eerily close.

Managed to drag myself onto the floating dock, even without any stairs. (They fell off yesterday). Have only been on one of those a couple times before, when I was a kid.

Seems odd that I should manage to swim out there on such a windy day, when the waves were taller than I am.

img_6372Made myself some delicious veggie sushi rolls!  I’ve never made anything with nori seaweed before, so the whole experiment was really all about figuring that out.

I used lots of carrot, paprika, some green onion stalks, fried eggs, and various green herbs from the garden.

What the first roll lacks: Soy sauce, celery, radish (from the garden) and maybe some white onion.

Note for the future:
Do not prepare rolls when the rice is still hot.  The smell gets a bit strong.

The second roll has less rice in it, but also a bit more of everything else. Plus the radishes and soy sauce. I also added some sausage on the side to taste. It was all quite delicious, but I still wish I had any kind of celery, and could fit even more carrot into the rolls.

I wonder if portobello mushrooms would be too much at once. Or if I could roll the whole thing without using rice, and rather have that on the side.  To be honest, maybe the whole thing should just be made into bite-sized side-dishes with rice.  Or just a salad.

I am doing well enough.

Just got back inside from my morning sunrise picture escapade with fingers so frozen I used hot water to warm them AND BOY SHOULD I HAVE NOT DONE THAT.  Sometimes I tend to forget the hard lessons learned in childhood. Pro tip: When you’re really cold, be careful with warming up too quick. It is incredibly painful, and can be harmful in extreme cases. The pain is usually enough of a deterrent, tbh.

 

I am very hungry. Decided that I would try to make oatmeal for breakfast today… if I can remember how, beyond the very basics.

One of these pics were taken with a cat purring on my shoulders.

Jeg prøver bare å holde skrivingen gående.  Never mind at det tar ca. en uke mellom hver gang jeg får kladda ned en setning av gangen.  Det går fortere å skrive enn å strikke, men allikevel er det sistnevnte jeg foretrekker å bruke tid på.  Det er en smule mer monotont å strikke rundt og rundt, og selv om det gjør veldig vondt i høyre skulder noen ganger så er det også svært avslappende.

Dagens prosjekt er det samme gule evighetsskjerfet som jeg starta på uka før jul;  Det har liggi på vent siden da, til fordel for to andre skjerf som hadde jule-prioritet. Jeg ble eeendelig ferdig med det siste blå igår kveld. Det neste i rekka blir sannsynligvis mørkt grønt, muligens i dobbel tråd  (Mohair + Alpakka).

 Last time I checked, plums were not supposed to be larger than peaches.

And these things are the size of APPLES.
