sometimes tina doesn't realise when i watch her doing anything funny in daily life. she is a great, first-rate amateur chef, not just since she prepares our dinners with much more blood, sweat and tears than some years ago. on that issue she does not even flinch from surveying the food while it is stewing in the oven, not even if she has to wait spread-eagled on the kitchen floor.

fortunately my nex7 is always ready to shoot scenes like that one.

i know what the saying "living from hand to mouth" rather implies: you are so poor that provisioning isn't quite possible because you need simply everything you can find for your daily ration. fortunately this state isn't appropriate for us, actually most of the people of the first world don't have this problem. everything is available almost everywhere.

nevertheless also in the industrial countries some people still carry on a kind of organic farming and grow products that are obtainable in stores and shops, too. vegetables of all kinds are grown, so for many recreational farmers a hobby is associated with a useful thing - your daily bread. regardless the use of the saying of the first paragraph is also suitable for them: provisioning isn't convenient because garden-fresh, natural products are easily perishable.

the topic is present in the first place because this week tina and i care for the kitties and the great many plants and vegetables of our neighbours because they are currently on vacation. since we are assertively allowed to pick their ripe harvest, i think there are worse jobs on this planet.

today we were searching for a possibility to escape from the heat. although the lake's water temperature is currently well over 20 degrees, a plunge into the precious water is still a pleasure and enjoyment. funnily we've found the nicest places by pure chance. doesn't matter, it's all right as long as the cooling is successful.

furthermore today the absolute highlight of the culture festival in friedrichshafen was due. two ska bands, including the band moskovSKAya from ravensburg, made for a brilliant atmosphere. even the starting rain couldn't keep the people off from dancing. i'm really looking forward to the rock am see festival!
