Since March 30 we have a sudden outburst of spring here. Of all the dead looking trees some are unexpectedly and all of a sudden covered in pink/rose blossom, almond trees perhaps, ‘ falling in ‘ spring?? Even the greyest soviet-style buildings cheer up!
Springs’ energy in the air made Robert ‘s hands itch for a vegetable plot or back yard to do at least something with plants. Luckily I had been introduced by Lily tot the only local market where they sell plants, Oloy Bozori so Robert and I went there on Saturday. His not so high expectations were pleasantly met with quite a variety of home grown seedlings, in between which we found one, yes one, Hibiscus and one Fuchsia.
We are now the proud owners of both, and they are being tended on top of the air conditioners just outside our windows.
On Saturday afternoon we visited the carpet trader we had met at the intercontinental exhibition of arts and crafts, at his home. That is what people do here, they sell from their home as shops are too expensive to rent. Internetsale is coming up fast.
Anyway, we ended up with four carpets that make our apartment look real chique and on top of that do fit in our small Renkum home. Meike sent us the measurements of the only spaces where they might fit, so now we only have to ship them some time in 2015. We’ ll worry about it by then.
