Sitting cat Welcome to my home-cooked journal.
Here you will find my rants about every day life and things that keep me busy.
In the past I have frequently written, but there's no saying if I'll continue on that path. It all depends on how busy I am.
Have fun reading my scribbles.
Picking curtains sucks!

Right what the title states. Leen Bakker and Kwantum have cheap stuff, but it's visible that it's cheap because the back is often just white, instead of the same color as the front. The fancy curtain shops have nothing below 20 EUR per meter. And when searching online your monitor is fucking up the colors. We ordered some samples because the fabrics looked nice brown/copper colored and most of them are actually yellow-ish. Yuck.

We're not sure if we want curtains or so called 'in-betweens'. Vitrage is not our thing because you can see through it quite clearly. Do we want a design, stripes, or uni? Argh!! The current things we have hanging in the living room are literally falling apart so we really need something new. But how the h*ll are we going to decide on something?

Then there's the garden. I made a plan on how I'd like it to be. Matthijs agreed. But when do you actually work on it? In the evenings we're already loosing daylight, it's dark at 20:00, so we don't get much done. The weather won't be improving as we draw nearer to autumn/winter and our weekends are used up right into October and we do need to work on week days. Perhaps I want too much at once, but I just got these itches that need scratching but there's seems to be no time or opportunity for it.
