Apple breakfast under the birches – memories from August.
I'm back what feels like from the dead and forgotten ones.
We have been at the beautiful Croatian island Hvar for a while. Unfortunately Ronald got sick, so we left earlier and I got infected too only a few days later and have been tucked to bed again for over a week now with high fever and everything unpleasant that one can imagine. Today, when I stepped out of bed after another feverish night in the morning to open the window, I saw that the forest hills in the distance are covered with a thick, almost white blanket of fog and the birches show some yellow spots in their foliage suddenly. It's finally happening, autumn has started! I can not wait to feel like a human again, to be able to use my senses. I lost my sense of smell completely and it burdens me more than the additional loss of taste. I can fill my stomach anyway, but not being able to smell, feels like being taken away a whole dimension.

Oh weh, ja es geht einiges (nicht nur neue Corona Variante) um. Und Ihr habt laut hier geschrieben. Den Geruch zu verlieren (temporär) ist wirklich hart. Ich bin auch ein absoluter Duftmensch und verstehe bis heute nicht, warum es kein Parfum gibt, dass diesen wunderbaren Geruch von alten Apfelsorten hat. (Nicht die Shampoo Variante bitte, ekelig) 😄
Kommt schnell wieder auf die Beine. Weiterhin gute Besserung.
Ganz liebe Grüße
Nina
Danke, liebe Nina! Es ist nicht nur der Genuss, den Düfte bringen, es ist auch wirklich schwer dann für jemanden anderes zu kochen, wenn man nicht abschmecken kann oder zu erkennen, ob Lebensmittel nicht mehr gut sind! Beim letzten Mal hat es sich wieder rückentwickelt, aber bei manchen dauert es sehr lange, ich hoffe, es wird bald besser. Oh ja, alte Apfelsorten riechen fantastisch!
I hope this new week finds you feeling stronger. It's awful being ill. Though it's only been mild, I've had the first of what will be many colds this past week as Ed has now returned to the classroom for the new term (he's a high school teacher) and so whatever is circulating at school, comes home too! I get so frustrated sometimes, particularly since he seems to not get the colds too badly but for me they linger. I'm sorry to hear your holiday was cut short, that's a great shame. Lots of love to you.
Thank you, dear Stéphanie, I feel better again, it was really a nasty one! And I can understand you so well! It is the same with me and Ronald, he always tends to get a lighter version and I struggle so much longer!
