Last weekend I could finally visit a friend who had moved to Switzerland and she planned a perfect hiking trip.

We went to the mountain top with a cable car and hiked downhill past the most beautiful and refreshing mountain lake back to where we started. That may not sound like a hard walk, but actually it was.. at least for me, my untrained legs and my knees.

I'm so glad that my knees didn't stop me .. it seems that the surgery has actually been a success. So now I just need to train my legs so that I can do things like that without my muscles hurting like hell.

And besides all of that.. my cough is gone! Could the swim in a blue mountain lake have cured me? (probably not, but relaxing for a few days may have) However the water did feel kind of magical :D

Sadly I have mixed feelings about the pic of me in the lake.. but I really need to let go of the idea of getting slimmer and become stronger instead.

Another window post.. because I need to calm down and enjoy this views as long as I can. Soon I'll have to move out and I don't have a new place yet. This is stressing me out.

Driving one hour after work to look at apartments in another city is so exhausting. Physically and mentally.. talking to people, texting, arranging meetings, replying, asking all the necessary questions.. feels like a full time job

laying in bed and looking at the sky..

I just like looking out of my window. The sky is really pretty.

It makes me sad that I have to move out of this ancient house with its old white windows soon. They are not waterproof and water leaks inside during heavy rain.. but I don't care about that.

This place is about 100 years old and I feel honoured to live within such old walls, in spacious rooms with high ceilings. Where a wooden stair makes a welcome sound at every step and the lock of the door is so strange that visitors need an explanation for using it. I chose this over a small modern apartment with new heated floors and had zero regrets.

So these days I fear that I won't find a place that feels as good to live in again, while I just have to repress my feelings about not even knowing where I might be offered a job. And since I can do nothing about this situation at the moment, the best thing is to look at this pretty pink outside..

Me waking up in my car after some festival :D

Stealth car camping is fun - especially since I built a wooden construction that allows me to fit a short mattress into my car. I'm actually very proud of it. I even wrapped it in car felt making it look like an "original" part of the car interior, and it's so light weight and minimalistic that I can just store it permanently in the trunk.

That my car is considered too small to be a camper makes about 50 percent of my disguise and the other 50 is all about picking a good parking spot and stealthy behaviour ^^

Sometimes I've felt like a little kid again, hiding somewhere and being amazed and joyful when people pass by without noticing me.

I miss when I could just stay in bed. Instead paracetamol for breakfast and work as usual it is.

There’s one person I’d really like to cough in the face.. just to make him proud.. (and awfully sick too)

Still working on these mountains.

I've painted the sky and the very foreground today. I don't know yet how to make them both look better, but I was finally brave enough to just a lot of paint on.

I may wash parts of it off again to finish it hopefully soon.

It gets mindlessly integrated in so many things and some say it's the future and will solve problems..

I'd rather drink some radium water beverage though (in most there was not even radium, because it was cheaper to just put it on the label) But yeah, it would cure everything:

yey, I did it and I even scored very high.

Much better than I had even hoped.
