A boring view


Short days: At 3 pm the light starts fading and is gone until 4 pm. Now, we have a little sunshine, very low. My little prayer flags are hardly moving. A faint sun is shining through a veil of clouds.
Now I want to get back to my work. The little rug for my mother in law has to be finished until Christmas.

The 3-D-effect is quite visible, although I don't do anything on purpose. It just happens.
Hope she will like it.
"No, she won't", said my man, deadpan face.

Flu of the year award

I applied for it, and I'm working hard, leaving the bed just for meals and bathroom. Thank you for your good wishes!

A romantic place in Lower Saxonia

This is where my husband grew up and where I feel quite at home after having a relationship with him for almost 12 years. This small town once was bigger and more important than Hamburg, I think in medieval times. In the 17th century, after the 30-years-war, it was unter Swedish administration. This baroque store building on the first pic is called "Schwedenspeicher", "Swedish warehouse."


I don't know if we'll have time to go downtown. And if the weather allows a walk and taking pictures. At least I'd like to share the beauty of this place with you!
