July Flowers

 

Last year we established a mini meadow where I planted seeds of wild flowers, and of course later some local plants popped up as well! Here are some of them, from this July.

Bluebells.

Favourite Songs of 2022

Here are some of the songs I'd been obsessing with last year, in no particular order!

光亮 by Zhou Shen (China)

Zhou Shen's voice is absolutely ethereal, enthralling right away and submerging you in its beauty.

醉梦 by Lin Hai, The Untamed OST (China)

Lin Hai laoshi!! The whole soundtrack is a masterpiece, and this is my favourite, so dreamy and soothing.

Chinese Books

 

Long story short: 3 years ago I started learning Mandarin Chinese! :D I've learned over 1500 characters so far, and am almost done reading my first Chinese novel, Saye by Wu Zhe! To help me on this journey I bought two essentials: a Chinese cookbook and a huuuuge dictionary, both from AliExpress.

Harvests of 2022

 

This year's gardening didn't go as smoothly as I would have preferred (it was too hot and dry in summer), but we did manage to grow lots of food, so here are some of the things we had!

Radish from my own seeds.

Snowy December

 It snowed a loooot today, again :D
