Ice-Cream Machine

Every spring, I toy with the idea of buying an ice-cream machine. As someone who is trying (very slowly) to declutter and to only surround myself with meaningful purchases, I carefully deliberate over every home purchase, sometimes to the point where nothing ultimately gets done (or purchased!). In the case of my ice-cream machine, summer comes and go, and the arrival of cool weather gives me an excuse to put off the decision for another year.

It has been an extremely hot summer this year in Zurich. In fact, I feel like I am in Australia in the midst of their annual January heatwave, but minus the much-needed air-conditioning. Due to strict regulations in Switzerland governing energy consumption, the existence of air-conditioning is quite rare and reserved mostly for supermarkets and shopping centres.

As a mother to two young toddlers, my idea of the perfect Mother’s Day would start with a few extra hours in bed, preceded, of course, by an uninterrupted full night of sleep the evening before 😉 Upon waking up peacefully to a room filled with natural light, as opposed to the noisy demands of a grumpy child who desperately needs her Hello Kitty doll at 4 am (which, by the way, was sitting on said child’s pillow), I think breakfast in bed would be my idea of heaven.
