This week, I found something back that I’d thought was gone: to be lost
\nin a story. The last days,\u00a0 I found myself in another time and another country,
\nfar away from here. Now and then I woke up as if from a trance, because there
\nwas coffee to be poured, or food that had to be\u00a0 cooked\u00a0 – but I was only half
\nin this world. In my mind, I galloped with daring knights or I sailed on a boat
\non a lake where – behind the mists – Avalon waited for me.<\/p>\n

I was Druid, Goddess, Knight and Minstrel.
\nSorry dear ones, I wasn’t in this world.
\nI sat in the Spring sun and I read.
\nI got a tan without noticing it, and I found a long-lost treasure:
\nto travel to other times and places and be gone from this world.<\/p>\n

I am back to the one I once was – a reader.
\nReading was a big part of me that I had lost and now it’s back
\nand I feel complete again!<\/p>\n

Here’s the evildoer:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t be afraid – I have not forgotten you.
\nI left my book downstairs on the table.
\nIt’s Friday, and as a faithful and brave knight – I won’t forsake you.
\nHere are some list-pages!<\/p>\n

List 17 – Words that are hard to spell<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m very keen on spelling mistakes and I’m pretty good at writing correctly
\n– in the Dutch language that is. Therefor, writing in English keeps me humble
\n’cause I know I make a lot of grammatical \u00e1nd spelling mistakes.<\/p>\n

There are lots of words that I have trouble with writing and my list would be
\nendless, but this one word seems to really haunt me! Misc E <\/strong>ll A <\/strong>neous.
\nI just keep on forgetting where the E and the A are supposed to be…
\nalthough I looked it up a hundred times; it just won’t stick to my mind…<\/p>\n

List #18 – Road trip must-haves<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of you know: I don’t like ‘going on vacation’.
\nI don’t take road trips for fun, but I did a lot of traveling years ago.
\n“That was long ago and far away” – and a complete different story,
\nbut anyway: I made my list with those trips in mind.
\nI always had at least the above things with me, and I still find these
\nthe most important things to take with me when I unexpectedly should
\ngo on a road-trip…<\/p>\n

List #19 – Recipes I want to try<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I gave this a little twist \ud83d\ude09
\nIt’s clear that cooking is not my hobby!<\/p>\n

Today is the last day that temperatures will be high enough
\nto sit outside in the back yard.
\nToday is the day that I will finish my book.<\/p>\n

My paint and brushes are sadly weeping when I pass them by…
\nbut I’m planning a party with them this weekend.
\nThey will have to wait one more day.
\nI can’t resist Morgaine’s call that comes to me through the mists of Avalon.
\nI want to know – No, I HAVE to know what happens with Arthur and Lancelot.
\nI’m under a spell. Another afternoon of reading, and the spell will be broken
\nwith a big sigh.<\/p>\n

see you next week dear ones!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
