No room, classmate & Sunday

1-
We spent the entire sermon sitting on a bench outside the church, enjoying a spectacular view of surroundings and the majestic sky above us.
Sometimes it is nice if there is too little room for all people to attend.

2-
My older daughter's classmate has come for ice-cream and a badminton match.

3-
It has been such a lovely easy going Sunday.

Preparing food out in the open.

Friday, twinkling star & proposal

1-
Friday afternoons are my favourite. Because they are followed by two days off work.

2-
My 3-year old can sing Twinkle, twinkle little Star!
Her older sister taught her.
She can't pronounce properly, but she knows it is about a star and that it is in English.
Now nobody can't stop her from singing it at least 3 times a day.

3-
Somebody has offered to be my personal secretary.
A proposal that makes me smile all day long.

Clay, bargain & the same chapter

1-
Moist sticky soil in my hand feels like clay.

2-
One hour invested in shopping kiddy cloths. Good bargain.

3-
I have been reading the same chapter in the book over and over again, every week.
I realize that when I am halfway reading it.
I am not quitting because I like what I'm reading.

Crisp, grateful & at midnight

1-
After a long period of humidy finally an afternoon with crisp air and clear views.
Breathing deep, really deep.

2-
My daughter's ID card expired a few days ago.
I so don't like bireaucracy.
But I had to go... unfortunately, without consulting whether she had to be present or not. I mean... she is only 9. And the last time we had her ID done she was... what... 4? And she didn't have to be there... So why have her come along this time?
Well... I was wrong. They needed her signature. So, off we went, back home. Only this time daddy took care of everything.
Am I grateful.. indeed I am.

3-
It is nice to have the whole house to myself. Everybody else is asleep.
It is midnight.

Massage, cat & little master

1-
I went for my massage today and that is always a great experience - but not just because of the wiping out of all the unpleasant that I have been through - mostly because of the therapist.
She is one of the most positive thinking persons I know.
Not the naive kind of positive thinking type for she has been through a lot in her life.
She knows what things to cherish and what to let go.


2-

The orange house that I pass by at least twice a day has a new guardian: a silky black cat. The cat's silhuette looked like a black paper cut-out portrait on a radiant orange background.

3-
"If you say "please", I will let you sleep with me in the big bed", says the little girl to her older sister.
And so her sister says: "Please...".
And the little one says: "Yes, you may."
My little master of the big bed.

The sky, invitation & irresistence

1-
The sky above me is black and covered with butterflies in purple, yellow, white and red.
My magical umbrella!

2-
There is an invitation to a barbecue at my friend's place in my inbox and in a couple of others friends' inboxes. We just might be a biiiig bunch of people having a great time someplace in the vineyards of Rifnik on Saturday.

3-
A huge chocolate bar with a tiramisu filling on my office desk. Who could resist it? Not me.

Lady, rymes & by the lake

1-
There goes a lady wearing a brown dress with white dots and a wide hat.
So very Julia Roberts.

2-
My little daughter knows a pretty neat ryme about cooking and when her auntie reveals she doesn't know it, my daughter asks her to repeat after herself. Seems sweet to listen to a 3-year old teach a grown-up.

3-
Sitting on a white bench in the shade by the lake and enjoying the view of the castle up on a cliff, faraway peaks and the church on the island.
