Na maanden van niet mezelf zijn, veel reflectie en behoefte aan lichtpuntjes, bedacht ik dat ik het toch wel heel fijn vond om de weekoverzichten in foto’s te hebben. Daarmee zag ik voor mezelf dat er veel leuke dingen waren gebeurd die week en door die naar boven te halen voelde ik me ook weer beter ipv dat alles een grijze blurr van meh was. Dus, hier zijn de weekoverzichten weer! En omdat ik geen behoefte heb aan al te veel pottekijkers, met een wachtwoord erop. Voelt toch fijner dat niet iedereen het zomaar kan lezen en ik mijn wereldje even weer wat kan afschermen. Afgelopen week zijn we bezig geweest met de logeerkamer op te ruimen en te veranderen. Zoveel herinneringen en ook heel veel troep! Meerdere vuilniszakken vol hebben de kamer inmiddels al verlaten 😀 Met onze katten gaat het nog steeds goed, lief en vooral plakkerig bij tijd en wijle! Ze liggen erg graag op mij te slapen nog steeds, zeker bij middagdutjes. Maar ook als ik eigenlijk wil breien en dan vooral even je tong uitsteken 😉 Boeven zijn het ook, want mijn blocking-mat wordt elke keer weer door Binx uit de kast getrokken om op te kauwen 🙁
