Weekend Post

Hi Everybody! 

Hope you all have a great weekend  with good weather and lots of fun!
Thanks for all the good wishes, I am feeling a bit better, but it will take some time before I'm hopping and jumping again!

I'm glad to say I found the journal page for Chris'  'where in the world challenge' at AJJ. It is a mixed media collage filled with many people and places:



And I painted a big eyed girl, but I'm not really happy with her, I haven't even given her a name! Any suggestions?






Some photos from my balcony garden:

The succulents are growing really quickly, I never thught they would get so huge in a couple of weeks. The 2 'babies' in the middle were broken off, I put them on the soil, and now they have roots and are also geting bigger:





Gilly is the boss of the garden:


Beautiful evening pics:




Snd the flowers again:



So now it's time for some funnies and thinkies - enjoy!










I will be resting, reading and painting at the weekend, I'm sure you all have good things planned.

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

    What a super post Valerie, your Big Eye'd girl is fantastic, you really are too hard on yourself.. she definitely looks like an *Astra* as her beautiful green eyes gaze amongst the stars. The *Hens and Chicks* process of your succulents will keep you busy, when they grow you can just pluck them off and replant them, really hardy plants and very interesting to look at especially when they flower.
    Awesome funnies and thinkies, I've bagged a few hee hee..
    Reading, resting and painting sounds like the ideal weekend.. enjoy every moment!!
    Big Hugs Tracey xx

      Hi Tracey, so good to see you here again! Funnies are there to be shared. I will have to start a new pot of succulents with the babies, what fun. Astra is a lovely name for a star gazer! Happy weekend, ❤️❤️ hugs!

    Hi Val, good morning 🌅. Hope you are feeling better today. Our S is back home, she will have a lot of aches and pains for a few weeks but no serious bone damage, so that's good 👍. We are all very happy. I would call your beautiful blue lady ' Ora'. Have a great weekend, take 😘, hugs from us all, Sarah

    Hopping and jumping, huh? Be sure to take a video and post it to your blog. We’ll all want to see it. I expect that you will have a special suit for that, and bouncy-soled funky shoes. I can hardly wait. Bouncing in Balconia could become a whole new TV fad. People will stand in front of their screens and follow your every move. You’ll get royalties every time the show is aired. As for the name of your gorgeous lady, I suggest Zelda. I have no logical reason for this, except that Zelda has always seem especially exotic to me. I envied F. Scott Fitzgerald having a wife named Zelda. If Miriam were called Zelda, I would call her every five minutes just to say Zelda. Even after more glasses of wine than one should imbibe one could say Zelda and get it right. It slides off the tongue under any circumstances. Tonight I am going to dream of Zelda. That’s my commitment for the day. Hugs and kisses - David

      Slow down, david, we're not that far yet! I will notify you when I can start hopping and jumping and then you can send the journalists and photographers over. I am sure that really would be a sensation! I had a friend called Zelda when I was at primary school, i wonder where she is now? Perhaps if you keep calling her name she will appear. She had red hair and lots of freckles, if you see her say hello to her from me. Next time I go out I will keep repeating a name, and see what happens!
      Thanks for the laugh, David! Enjoy you weekend, hugs xxxxxxxxxx

    Your blog banner is enough to make me drool! LOL Love that mixed media collage and the big-eyed painting which is wonderful! Your funnies today just had me giggling, especially the woman on the bench with her head down - that's just too cute! Wishing you a peaceful and relaxing weekend, and do take care of yourself and feel better soon too!

    Haha, good funnies, Valerie. And such pretty art. I'd name her Daphne. All the Daphne's I have seen/known have huge eyes for some reason. I'm so happy your succulents are doing so well and your flowers. Enjoy them! Ours are literally wilting in the heat, all but the lantana and mint are struggling. Honey's still getting a very few tiny cherry tomatoes but will be pulling the plants out soon. He's pulled the heads off the sunflowers to save the seeds. I hope you keep resting enough and don't over-do. I know it's frustrating! XOX

      Daphne is a pretty name, I had a friend in England called Daphne , and she had big, blue eyes! Sorry everything is wilting in the heat. I will in the heat, too! It's cool and rainy still, but should soon be warming up again. Enjoy your day, hugsl

    That really is a super journal page - love all the colours in the background and all the characters therein. And another lovely lady - I think you are drawn to blue.
    Sorry you are not feeling up to the mark, hope your funnies cheered you up a bit, they certainly did me.
    Hugs, Neet xx
