About Me

Moonwaves
Fortysomething living in Germany since 2008. When not struggling with depression I'm trying to get rid of the last of some stupidly incurred debt and move my way towards a more independent life. One in which I know how to do most things for myself and am not reliant on paying others/shops just to cover the basics of life. Yes, I blog anonymously. No, I don't always reply to comments - not because I don't appreciate them, just because sometimes it's too much, sometimes I just have nothing to say, sometimes just because - please don't take it personally.

  • Strawberry + gooseberry jam (1 lge., 6 sml. jars)
  • Strawberry + rhubarb jam (1 lge., 6 sml. jars)
  • Tomatoes (8 x 1 lt jars)
