Project 365 – Week 7

Eine verrückte Woche – aber dennoch nicht uncool – LOL

A crazy week – but still not uncool – LOL

*40/365*

London – British Museum – it was such a weird light that day- but I like this. I love the big courtyard and try to go there just to rest every time I’m in London.

*41/365*

Nothing better than a super fresh Ciabatta – here with rosemary – and then some  drizzles of good olive oil and fresh lime and a bit of salt…this is what my family in Italy loved to eat for breakfast and I always love this as comfy food.

*42/365*

Since my Mojo is missing Niles tries to help. He is a good trooper that day…unlike last weekend then he pied in my husbands suitcase to show how much he dislikes that we are going away….well …at least he knows who bought the tickets! :)

*43/365*

Trouble #3 paid us a visit. Such a funny guy. LOL – look at his flew – heheheh!

*44/365*

I got some Roses on Friday already – ahhhhhhhh :-)

*45/365*

I got my godson a little globe in London for his birthday- his english is quite good now – so he should be ok with the english geographic names.

*46/365*

My friend A. and her baby. Paula is listening to the piano while A. is giving me the usual “you don’t take a photo of me, don’t you”-Look :-)

….

Have a great evening :-)

Hello Valentine :)

Für mich ist ja dieser Tag eher wegen des Geburtstages meines Patenkindes Luca ein Besonderer – ich kann es nicht glauben, dass er dieses Jahr 9 Jahre alt wird.

Actually this day is special for me because of the birthday of my godson Luca – I can hardly believe that he is turning 9 today.

Aber natürlich gibt es noch meinen anderen Valentin – lol –

But of course there is still my other Valentine – LOL

Und einfach so – wenn ich so darüber nachdenke- fällt mir wieder auf, was für ne glückliche Socke ich doch bin – LOL – das wird man doch mal sagen dürfen oder?

And actually just as I think about it…I realize once again – what a lucky trooper I am – LOL – if I dare to say so :)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Ein echt “krasses” Layout. Ich finde es ehrlich gesagt ziemlich beängstigend, wie Medien (die sich dieser Wirkung von Bildern natürlich bewusst sind) mit dieser Macht umgehen. Wenn ich nur an den 11. September denke *schauder*

Project 365 – Week 6

Ein wenig verspätet wegen des London-Trips die Fotos nun von Woche 5 :)

A little bit late – because of my London Trip – the photos of week 5 :)

*33/365*

So funny- on my way to Sylvia this monday morning I spied this – I have never recognized it- although I have lived a couple years right across this spot. (mmmhh???)

*34/365*

Valentines Day is on it’s way – I love this. On my way to work – makes me happy :-)

*35/365*

I love getting our box from the organic farm each wednsday- we also get a yummie bread and eggs in it.

*36/365*

So the washer broke on monday- and to remove it from it’s spot we had to put down our wash basin from the wall – totally stupid. I also was in a bad mood because I couldn’t wash our clothes – mmmphhhffff

*37/365*

And all was good on friday when our new washer- a real space ship…which can ..I think even cook coffee and clean the house – arrived!

*38/365*

London – on our way to our favorite beer bar and restaurant: Belgo.

*39/365*

London – Brick Lane Market – well – Jimmy Hendrix lives, and the 80’s are back too :-) It was so fun!

—-

und sonst…ich habe ein Mojo Problem….blank – nix….nada….:( Na ja – wird schon wieder kommen :)

and other than that…I have a little Mojo Problem…blank…nothing…niente :( Oh well – I’m sure it will come back :)

Back from London :-)

Was für ein rasantes Wochenende. Ein kurzer Trip nach London, Freunde treffen, Museumsbesuche, gutes Essen, viel Regen, viel Kälte, auch ein wenig Sonnenschein, geschichtliche Fortbildung und die Inanspruchnahme aller erdenklicher Verkehrsmittel. Einen Eindruck könnt ihr beim lauten und schlechten Video bekommen- LOL

What a racy weekend. A short trip to London, Meeting friends, visiting museums, good food, lot’s of rain, cold weather but also a bit sunshine, further training in history and usage of all transportation means. you can get a clue of our weekend with this short but loud and bad video – LOL
