Don't know if you noticed, but that cleaning of the bookshelves is on the list for a couple of weeks now, but I just couldn't bring myself to take all these books and clean them one by one. Again.

This week's list It was a busy, emotional depleting week. The friend I told you about earlier, the one with cancer, died this week. I'm really glad I've seen her just hours before she died. In this same week I also flied to Menorca to celebrate the birthday of one my best and oldest friends, a surprise party we were busy organizing since January. The cremation ceremony happened to be on the same day I would fly to Menorca, so the days before I was in doubt about what to do because whatever I would choose, I would feel guilty.  In the end I chose to go to Menorca, also because there was a goodbye ceremony on Tuesday that I visited, but the choice wasn't easy.  Anyway, because of all this, I didn't have much time to keep up with the chores I planned for this week.  Baking and Cooking *chocolate icecream cake * make stroopwafels *vegetable plate with dips ✅ *make strawberry ice pops *make strawberry shortcakes *make strawberry jam *make spic...
