Thursday, 19th of November, Part One

Today, Thursday

Early morning
I woke up
Showered
Looked out the window
It was really dark
The rain had continued
All through the night
Went outside for a while
Snapped a few pics

Worked, worked, worked
Meetings and then some
Had a snack break
The sun appeared
The flowers on the table
Had started to bloom
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Afternoon
It was time for a
Splash in the pool
Left to take the dive
Had a few minutes to enjoy the nature
Snapped a few pics

Back home
More work
More meetings
Urgency
Finally,
Working day ended
It was really dark outside
Put out some Christmas decor
Snapped a few pics

Much later
Posted some blogs
Went to sleep
Dreaming of tomorrow…

It will be Fabulous Friday!

Bleu Blanc Rouge
No time to sing the blues
It is the time to choose
Freedom

Blue, White, Red
The colours for which
So many have bled
Freedom

The three coloured symbol
In its presence we feel humble
Even though very simple
We can only think of
Freedom

Tuesday, 17th of November

Today, Tuesday

Really early morning
I woke up
Showered
Today, home office day
Looked out the window
It was pouring and dark
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Had a snack break
It was still raining
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Had a coffee break
The weather cleared
Snapped a few pics

Working day ended
Drove to water aerobics
The sun was setting
Painting the sky red
Odd, it would show up
A little before disappearing
Snapped a few pics

Drove back home
Posted some blogs
Went to sleep
Dreaming of tomorrow

It will be Wednesday…

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-11-17

“I quote others only in order the better to express myself” Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

quote 1

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-11-17

For today’s quote, I actually have two for the price of one. And with my personal twist of course 😛

Usually it is nice to get feedback, especially the positive kind. Unfortunately sometimes (read more often than usual) you get feedback or opinions from people, who need to voice their own point of view for anything and everything.

For myself, a “like” is sufficient and indicates someone enjoyed your offering. If you have something valuable to add, then make a comment, hopefully the positive kind. But in this writer’s opinion, if you don’t like what you hear, read or see, just move along 😉

 

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, move along”

positive

“Opinions are like voids in the derrière; everyone has one”

opinions

 

Keep calm and keep on quoting!
