Macklingirl's journal

Today I finally finished my Pros corner. I bought two new shelves so that I have more room for all the zines I own. Now there is no more zine in a box, they are all out in the open. And I have a place for my wonderful Bodie and Doyle image.

All I have to do now is to make a list of which zines I own and find a way to know which zine is in which shelve. If anybody has any idea how to make it that would be great. I thought about making a list in Excel with the title of the zine, titles of the stories in the zine and the name of the author. And, of course, the number of the shelf and the zine (that is is it the fifth or the twelfth or the twenty-second in the row). Does that sound logical and feasible? How have you organized your zines?

I would love to invite you into my garden again. Since we have wonderful weather, where else should I be?

After sealing the roof of our toilet extension with liqiud bitumen yesterday



we planted some cabbage turnip and peas and pak choi.



And today I can relax and enjoy the day. A day with flowers and sun under the cut.

That's it for today. I'm going to close my eyes now and enjoy the sun. I hope you felt comfortable and welcome in my garden and enjoyed it again.

Once again I would love to invite you to visit my garden and I hope you come and relaxe with me.

Today we were greeted by a frog who didn't have any fear and stayed where he was.

Three colours in our Hibscus

White



Blue



And sort of pink



And sometimes I think that I really should go to the market and sell some of the food that grows in our garden. But never the pumpkin. *gg*



( More food here )

And fresh peppermint, which smells really nice



I hope you enjoyed the trip around my garden. I'm going to relax now and enjoy the sun and a light breeze.

Today we were in our garden when we heard a loud trumpet-like sound. We looked up and there they were. More than thousand cranes in differend groups. Some groups were onyl fifty, others more than two hundred. If you click on the image you can see them better. They were high above our heads.



Not sure if the sound plays, it does on my phone.

We have a wonderful looking evening sky tonight. You really wouldn't think that there is thunder outside.




Time difference only two minutes.

Okay, it's raining again, so have some more castle photos. :-)

There where some funny things too



And a nice cafe with very tasty cake and funny chandeliers





Oh, and the outside was nice too

The weather isn't nice the last days, so we went and visited some old churches. The churches around Hooksiel are very old, the oldes is from the 9. century. It is the church of a village called Hohenkichen (Highchurch)

After that we went to the church in Waddewarden, St. Johannes. It's a church from 1264

The last church we visited in the last three days is in Pakens, a very small village with only three houses, but with a very large church which was build somewhere between 1250 and 1300.







That was my church post. Yesterday we went to Jever and visited the castle museum. But that will be another post, because I made so many photos, that would be to much for this post.

Wednesday we made a boad trip called Jadetörn. It goes to the Jade-Weser-Prot which was build for 2.700.000 container ships in the year. But they only had 6.700 in 2018 and it doesn't look like they could reach the planned number.



I think the cranes look like giraffes.

On Thursday we went to Wilhelmshaven. It's twentyfive minutes with the bus and for guests it's only 1 Euro to pay. So we took the bus.

This is the King-Wilhelm-Bridge near the marine museum.

So, that was Wednesday and Thursday.

I've finishes my latest handiwork. Crocheted sponges in form of a flip flop. My sister wanted some and now she'll get them as a birthday present.
It was fun to make them.
