+ | A full week in a new rhythm. Both our kids are going to school in Brussels. It means a very different schedule for them and for us. Waking up at 6:30h to prepare breakfast and lunch for Faust kind of messes up the whole day. I'm not an early bird, you could say. Such an early start makes me feel slow and lost. I guess after a while i will get used to it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At FoAM I am mainly dealing with various rental requests. It looks like this autumn there will be a few longer events using our space. It is great. But I feel I have to put a limit on it as well, because it does consume lots of time and energy to manage it all. I still want to explore a few things on my own. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I bought a new photo camera. Well it is an old Nikon F4. I never had a device with so many buttons on it. I am Spending my days studying the manual and taking some shots. It is very exiting. Can't wait to see the results. | ||

+ | This year i've been investing lots of time in making bread. We have a bread making machine, but I find that bread made that way gets old very quickly and always tastes the same. I like the process of bread making a lot. Even i don't eat it so much myself I find it magic to experiment with different ways of mixing the dough and baking it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This week i found maybe the most favourite recipe so far. It is inspired by Scandinavian so called 'night bread": | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2 glasses of flour (I use spelt but any kind of white flour will do) | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1 glass of warm water | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1 tea spoon of salt | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1 spoon of brown sugar (I use honey in stead) | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2 tea spoons of dry yeast | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1 glass of mixture of seeds, nuts, raisins... | ||
+ | |||
+ | Put it all the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with a spoon until all the ingredients are blended well together ( dough should stay liquidy). Transfer the dough into a bread form ( lined with paper if it is a metal or ceramic one), close the top well with plastic foil and place it into the fridge overnight or at least for 8H. Remove the foil and bake it in a non preheated oven at 150°c for about 1:30h. | ||

+ | Back to Belgium, back to home, back to FoAM, back to the routine of school work home. The intensity of the summer manifested in a new sort of physical pain. As I was very happy to be painless for a few weeks before I left on holiday, as much disappointed I felt now. Being absent for such a long time requires lots of attention to the things that i left " | ||

Living and working intensively with Eisa & co on the new piece that explores happiness in the context of Disney animation films and Disney theme parks. Finally a hot summer week but almost the entire time spend indoors. I really didn't mind. The view from our rooms and studio was stunning. It felt like living and working above a buzzing city and seeing clearly hills on one side and forrest on the other. It was a dream week. Working in what it seems like a busy cultural institution.
