Here are a few lovely blooms from today. The summer has been endlessly dry this year and the flowers look rather sad in places. And yet they are so wonderful.
This year's white daisies were so charming that they found a place in a big, beautiful bridal bouquet in the neighbouring village, together with cornflowers and ears of corn. Sadly I do not have a picture of that myself.
Last school year, I repaired my grandchild's violin case. The loops meant for attaching the backpack straps had torn off. She cycles to school, and it’s impossible to ride while holding the violin in your hand. Naturally, the violin and case—which belonged to the school—went back at the start of the summer. Now that the new school year has begun, she has been issued a school violin and case again, but this one is in even worse condition than last year's. So, I undertook the repair once more. This time, I decided to replace the entire back panel—including the piping—and cover the torn section at the end of the case with a leather patch. I used reflective tape for the top layer of the piping. The video condenses six hours of work into three minutes. If anyone finds themselves in need of a similar repair, I will be able to take on a few jobs starting in February 2027, and I can handle a few at a time during the summer break.
