I found my old Polaroid camera which still had film in it. 7 shots left after I took this one.
And then ofcourse I took one with shakeitphoto of the real Polaroid. Maybe I should take another Polaroid of that. To infinity….
I love that mirror.
And the hat.
Especially the hat.
I love the grainy old look. Have to admit the light in the lift has had a role in how this photo came out, still love it though :)

My mom commented recently about how many digital cameras I have. I have my trusty [Canon Powershot A620][1], an older [Canon Ixus 400][2] and a [Minolta Dimage 5][3], plus ofcourse the [Sony Ericsson K810i][4] phone…
I have no idea when my love for hats started, somewhere before my teen-years for sure. I never did really wear them, my head was usually too round to fit them properly. I wore baseball caps, and that was about it. For a very long time I wanted a black top-hat, almost like a magician’s but a bit shorter. Too long seemed a bit impractical. For years I’d browse hat-stores every once in a while, and when I got internet I googled them. Up until this week I never found (perhaps I lacked the google-foo) the hat that I wanted. Either they were too high, or too expensive. I wouldn’t dare to go out on the street with an expensive hat, so it had to cost a fair amount, not a ridiculous amount.
And this week, I found it. The perfect hat. With a feather. It arrived today and it is awesome. So very awesome. I never want to take it of again.

For a long time some (most) of my kitchencabinets have annoyed me. I cannot imagine why today, kitchen-makers still default to shelves for the bottom cabinets. Shelves below the waist, so if you want to…
Denzel is a couple of months old now. I took this (terrible) photo a few weeks ago at sister's birthday party.
Somewhat over a week ago sister, her boyfriend and their two dogs went out with the dogs to play. They found a spot where another guy and his dog were playing (throwing a stick, bring it back). The dogs happily played together and the guy happily threw the stick. At some point he swings his arm back, ready to throw the stick and just as he swings it low, Denzel jumps in front of him and gets the stick full in his face, knocking him out.
Sister cried, guy cried, emergency visit to vet. Denzel had blood coming out of his nose, his jaw swelled up and his eye got 'bloody' as well. Pretty bad all in all (combined with going KO). The vet thoroughly checked him out (and gave him medication) and sister had to wake up the dog every hour that night. He had a pretty bad concussion, and swelling / bruising, but should make a full recovery.
The good part about this story, apart from his recovery (it still happened recently, but I expect the worst has passed and hopefully he won't have any permanent damage): the guy paid for the veterinarian costs and kept in touch about Denzel's health. Last I heard they were going to visit him (or he would come around) to make sure the dog indeed got a bit better.
Can only imagine what that guy felt like, and certainly can relate to sister (a little bit, Nano has had minor incidents so far knock on wood). It shows some people still take their responsibility and don't hide behind 'but it was an accident!'. So, bravo, anonymous-guy!

Over the weekend I planted some seeds for plants I eventually want to plant outside on my balcony. I started out with [courgette][4] (zucchini), [sage][5], [thyme][2], [rosemary][3], [Tropaeolum][1], [mustard][6] and several types…
I installed a rack for my empty pots and to put my herbs on.
Perhaps I can put some plants that like shade on the middle layer.
This afternoon we hiked over a small artificial island (it’s a Dutch thing). We saw a very weird larva there.
Bf said it eats through wood so I told Nano to sit and stay away from it so it wouldn’t jump at her and bite her.
Ofcourse she didn’t listen and attacked it, tossing it in the air. It did seem unhurt, I suspect she wanted to toy with it because we paid more attention to it than to her.
Still need to fill those with soil and plants, but it’s starting to look good :)
I’ve just not uploaded much.
I did have things to do, like my brother’s wedding and checking out my new baby nephew. He’s soooo adorable!
