  1. Today's #grandma recording started with how annoyed she was after her little sister was born. She had hoped for somebody to play with, but that one was crying most of the time. Her sister wouldn't sleep at night, if the lights were out, but their mother was too scared to use the stearin candles she had bought for this occasion, until somebody recommended her to use something like an altar lamp at church, an oil lamp with a small wick and only a small flame. That did the trick, the child slept.

    Later, grandma "told" me about her plans of mounting some hooks to a closet in her living room/bedroom, so she could hang her trousers there, instead of putting them on top of it.

    Ultimately, she would ask me, if my life is ok and if I'm generally happy with it. Then she started ranting about two divorced relatives and how they had been spoilt at home and never had to take care of themselves, only to end with how she overtook her grandma's farm with age 21 and how scared she was every night. Since then, she wasn't scared about many things anymore, except thunderstorms and lighting.

    When looking at the file name of the next recording, to see if I'd do another one, I discovered that this recording of the 4th of September was the last one for 2022. This year had only taken me three months to transcribe, as opposed to the five, four and eight months the previous years took. But those also only were 27 recordings, while 2021 were 47 already.

    So this it: next week (maybe with a little delay, since there is #July2026ConnectAThon at #WikiTree), I will start with the remaining 124 recordings covering the last ten months of her life. So far, I have been feeling pretty ok when hearing her voice, but I'm already terrified of how it will be to listen to her exhausted and broken voice towards the end.

    Thank you so much for those extra characters, @david

    Auckland, Auckland 0626

    "Come hang out, trade your coolest homemade stuff, and meet fellow makers for a fun afternoon of swapping and chatting!

    The Maker’s Swap

    A cosy little gathering for #creatives, #HobbyMakers, #bakers, #artists, and #crafty people alike.

    Each guest brings 5 #handmade items to swap. This could be anything from #BakedGoods and #candles to #crochet, #sewing, #preserves, #ceramics, #art, #SelfCare products, and more. In return, you’ll leave with 5 unique handmade treasures created by other #LocalMakers. There will be structured swap rounds to make sure everyone gets a fair chance to choose pieces they love.

    Alongside the swap itself, there’ll be time to browse, chat, meet fellow creatives, and enjoy a slow, cosy atmosphere filled with thoughtful handmade things.

    This isn’t about perfection or professional selling, it’s about creativity, connection, and celebrating the joy of making things by hand."
