Weekend Post

 Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! I'm happy to say that my computer is now behaving better after working on it for several hours it started to behave normally again.  I still need to re-install a few programmes and hope that the drama will then be over. Sooner or later I will need a new computer, but I would like to keep this one as long as possible, we have grown old together!!

Today I have another hybrid piece for Matilde's numbers challege at AJJ:



A walk through our little town, including shop windows and reflections::

















And there has to be a coffee:


Some funnies/ thinkies:








Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

    I am glad that your computer problems have been resolved, Valerie. I can't say the same about my iPad, so I have to leave comments on my desktop, which is not a big deal really while I am home, but next month we'll be away for four days and if I haven't resolved the problem by then I will be out of touch. It's all a mystery. Miriam is quite savvy with computers and similar devices but it mystifies her too. Lovely series of pictures here, but the one with the flowers growing in the wall is my favourite. Seeds will find every tiny bit of soil available and set down roots. Such is the enduring power of nature. I know that your face today is a woman, but it reminds me a little of John Lennon. The cobbled streets of your town look very inviting, but I am sure that would not be true for a woman in high heels. It's past the time for women to abandon such nonsense anyway. Enjoy the weekend. Hugs and kisses to you and Heike - David

      Hi David, sorry about your iPad, and hope you get it sorted before you go away. Are you doing the same tour as last time with another group? It's always wonderful to see how the castle ruins have come to life with flowers, plnts and trees growing from the stones. Nature finds its way back. High heels are not suitable here, not that I have any. I need 'sensible' shoes! Have a great weekend, take care, hugs, Valerie xxxxxx

    So true: What were we thinking? I'm now going through the final phase of my life. I wish I could extend my life another 50 year. Not going to happen. I love your flowers and shrubs.

    Your hybrid piece is great Valerie. That face is really interesting, and it reminds me of something. But my brain isn't registering what it is right now. I like it. And I like seeing all the pots of flowers in bloom about town. Hurrah for summer and flowers. I hope you are having a lovely weekend and enjoying some down time as well as more of your favorite coffee. Hugs-Erika

    Pretty hybrid piece and I love that quote, Valerie. So glad you got your computer back up, I'm impressed with your prowess as well! I hear you about making it last, mine is 12 years old I think! Hope your weekend is nice and relaxing for you after that trauma! I'd need a Valium or 2, lol. XOX

    Oh Valerie, I absolutely LOVE your beautiful journal page. It looks like you, too. I like how you included the bird and the numbers, of course. It's a great entry for Matilde's theme at AJJ.

    Although I enjoy peeping in the windows and seeing the reflections, my favorites are the beautiful flower boxes in the windows. they brighten everything.

    Loved the kitty, the coffee, and the last one about growing up. That kitty is adorable.
