Blue Monday Update

 This week I’ve:

-          Finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone in French. You can read all about it here.

-          I worked a bit in my home and I shared my experience so far here.

 

Next week I’ll share my renovation story room by room. I’m hoping to finish some more reading, hopefully some classics. I also want to practice my French a bit more and maybe see the first Harry Potter movie in French. I also hope to go on a walk in nature with my hubby, somewhere remote considering the current lockdown rules.

Visiting ‘s-Gravenwezel, Belgium (Schilde part two of three)

Image
Last week I started the trip to Schilde in the Province of Antwerp. You can read all about it here . This week we started the second part of the trip, as the town is divided in two submunicipalities: Schilde and ‘s-Gravenwezel. We visited the other site of the town (‘s-Gravenwezel). There’s one castle there, but it wasn’t accessible, I had a feeling there were people living there as it was all closed off. There was lots of nature, but lots of places were hard to access for people   who are on foot. If you want to visit here by bike, that would probably be more enjoyable and safe. My journey in photos:                                                                                                                         My lunch.

Learning to bake cookies challenge: The lazy ones

Image
 This is part two of the four part-blogpost, you can check out the first part here . This week I made the lazy cookies. Sounds simple?...Guess again, I didn’t do so well this week. The apartment burned down….No just kidding. But it turns out, I’m not going to be queen of the kitchen just yet. I failed miserably at this challenge, even though it was just a baking mix. Lol, somehow I feel so embarrassed to write that... 😂My cookies were burned and hard as bricks. At least, it was a fun experience… The problem was the recipe on the back wasn’t entirely accurate.   At the end, they said to place the cookies in the oven for twelve minutes. I thought that was a bit long and placed the timer for eleven minutes. But apparently even that was too long. It needed nine to ten minutes tops, if I look at it afterwards. There were a few instances were I had to do something different, than what the recipe said. Another thing was they only asked to add 30ml/ 1fluid ounce of water. But you need at

To kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee, book and movie review.

Image
Sorry for the long review, but I now consider this one of the best books I’ve read so far, so I couldn’t help myself. If you don’t want to read all of this, then here’s my opinion: ‘It was very good is an understatement.’ My copy from the library:     One of my book challenges is to read a list of classics. The first one I picked, was To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It’s a book I’ve been looking forward to read for ages. I know this book is often on the to-read list for many schools from the US. I always thought they were lucky, as here in Belgium, I had to read very boring Flemish (North-Belgian) literature to graduate. I still feel like sleeping when I think of it. This book is/was banned in lots of places in the US and I must be honest, that I was curious why that was. I can remember seeing the movie a couple of years ago and I couldn’t remember something worth banning for. But now after reading it, I’m slightly changing my opinion on that. I can understand it, but
