Had this beautiful little camera in a drawer for a couple of months now, and loaded it up for the first time today. Just felt like using it and took a couple of images of my daughters outside. It is super light weight, and while I much prefer the Leica's focus patch (probably because I am so used to it), the Olympus OM-1's microprism focusing screen works quite well. At least I hope so. It will take some time until I have the results.

A couple of weeks ago, I found a (tiny) wasp nest under the roof in the attic (where we usually hang our laundry to dry). After asking a friend who is a bee keeper (and knowledgable about this stuff), we made sure the nest was abandoned, then took it down this morning. We carefully cut it open to let the kids take a look inside. It has a beautiful structure and is amazingly light weight.

Jacobaea vulgaris, growing by the wayside. I pass this particular plant every day on my way to the office, and by now it is almost as tall as I am. My wife just told me that it is poisonous and sometimes mistaken for Hypericum, which is considered a medical plant. There you go!

The owners changed the name of the dog to „Tiny“, which I do not find as original as the… well… original name of „Anne-Gret“. But hey. The kids really enjoy their time with her, no matter what her name is. In other news, Daniel is currently having a great run with his monthly photo journal entries. We met in person for the first time last year at beyond tellerrand in Düsseldorf, so there is two photos of me in his most recent post. Thanks, Daniel!

Feeling kind of uninspired in the last few days. I'd probably have skipped today (and yesterday), if it wasn't for the 366 project. I'll be off work for two weeks, and have all these ideas, what to do during this time, but I guess I need to unwind for a bit first. We'll be visiting my parents next week, which I am very looking forward to. Plus having a change of scenery is always good for inspiration.

Walked past the flea market today. With kids this is dangerous territory, because they always find some toy they really like, and how can you say no to something that's just a Euro. But then again, that's one more toy lying around in the house. I am looking forward to the day, they themselves are ready to sell off their old stuff and I can go back to a more minimalistic life style. (I am well aware that this might never happen as long as we live under the same roof…)
