Hi Everybody!
Time is flying and I didn't manage to do anthing today. Nothing, zero! I got up this morning as always, made mysyelf a cup of coffee and sat in my armchair to read the newspaper. Then I took another sip of coffee and it was cold. I looked at my watch and it was 6:30 in the evening. I had slept in the armchair for more than 8 hours. I was totally shocked, this has never happened before. Now it's evening and I need to at least put a post together....Lucky I always have my work done in advance!
This tag is meant for Michele's theme of 'Celestial' at Tag Tuesday. A lady, crowned with the sun on a background of night and stars in my head:
Some thinkies / funnies:
Yesterday I walked along the Rhine, the weather was beautiful:
The sky was blue:
The Ferry crossing over to our side:
And a barge passing by:
I love this:
Dennis the menace:
Evening mood from m balcony:
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
That must be quite a comfy armchair!
ReplyDeleteLovely evening views from the balcony.
All the best Jan

Thanks, it is! But I've never slept in it for so.long! Have a lovely day!
DeleteThanks for the laughs and photos. Lovely celestial page! Glad you slept well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, that was really a surprise sleep!
DeleteGreat photos and laughs, sometimes our bodies just need lots of rest-hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, that could be! Have a wonderful day, don't work too hard! Hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! I wish I could sleep all day, too. Amazing! You must have been exhausted! Your body took the rest it needed. Your tag is totally gorgeous, I love it. Have a great day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, I was tired and achy, and the sleep really did me good! Hugs to all!
DeleteYou've been spuddling! Seriously though, your body must have needed it. I sleep a lot these days during the day and am often wide awake for hours at night. I cannot break the cycle. Hugs Deb
ReplyDeleteYes, and evidently I'm good at spuddling! I need a long time to get to sleep in bed, but when I'm in my armchair..... Enjoy your day!
DeleteI need you to come up with an answer to that question, Valerie, “How come your beard grows back but the hair on your head doesn’t?” That has been the eternal question for men for years! My follicular disfunction started in my thirties and rapidly achieved its total mission! So much so, that when I first met Miriam her daughter asked whether I had a photograph when I still had hair! Ah, those were the days. I had quite a mane too, but its life was short - glorious, but short! As for sleeping the whole day, I have never done that! Were you able to sleep that night too? Quite frequently when I am at home in the afternoon I take a nap after lunch, but only for twenty to thirty minutes. It’s amazing how the body knows to “wake me up” after that brief siesta. Stay well, stay awake, be happy! Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteMy husband always asked the same question. He was an egg head from early on but had a wonderful, red beard and moustache! I have never slept for so long in the chair 💺. And yes, I slept from about 11:00 pm till morning. I was out with Heike and we somehow ended up in the Pizzeria again. We sat outside and enjoyed our food and cappuccino! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteThat sleep meant you must have needed it badly. I hope you're caught now! I love that you woke, saw the time and scrambled to blog!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was extremely tired, but now I feel better! Thanks!
DeleteCaught UP now. I was sure I'd typed that.
ReplyDeleteWords sometimes sneak off the page.....
DeleteI think as we get older our sleep patterns change. Butt I've never slept for so long in a chair! Sleep is good for us! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh. You remind me of Rip Van Winkle. Kind of spooky, though. Wow. And I liked that bald headed guy joke, too. Always therapeutic to see water nearby.
ReplyDeleteThanks , glad I made you laugh. I love being by the Rhine.
DeleteI call that a day we'll spent 👍Your body must've needed it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place for a walk. The water, the skies... Nice!
I LOVE walking by the Rhine, it's always a delight!
DeleteRest is the ultimate battery charger. I have done that (not quite as long) from time to time. Trouble is that then I don't sleep well at night. I love the secret of genius. My dear wife keeps that child alive and well. The view from your balcony is gorgeous. Your artwork always fascinates me.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Thanks Jim. Rest is indeed what we need - no rest, no strength! Yes, we need to keep the inspiration of our inner child alive and active! Have a good week, hugs!
DeleteHi Val, hope you had a good day and are feeling a bit stronger. I'm sure you needed to sleep that long! Look after yourself, hugs from us all, Martha!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha! When are the kids coming home? I bet they are enjoying themselves! Have a lovely week, hugs, Valerie
DeleteWow I love your tag Valerie, so striking! I hope you feel better after your "nap" you must have needed the rest! Your part of the world is looking lovely at the moment. Take care and have a great evening, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, that was some nap! Have a great week!
DeleteI am forever wondering where the time goes but if you slept like that it's because you needed it. Beautiful collection of photographs and Dennis the Menace, now I remember him on TV. Take care and hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Dennis goes way back! I used to love the comics! Have a great week!
DeleteBeautiful skies. Fascinating face. Your body must have been telling you it really needed rest. Please take care of yourself. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, I'm trying!
DeleteGosh, if I slept like that in my chair I wouldn't stand up, ha ha ha, I'd be so stiff and never sleep at night..love your celestial tag, fabulous art work Valerie.
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
I was rather stiff, too, and cold!
DeleteGreat photos asusual VJ
ReplyDeleteLove your lady crowned with the sun that is inside your head. Love your photos too - a walk down the Rhine on a lovely day like that sounds ideal to me.
ReplyDeleteI told my other half about your 8 hour sleep - his comment was "Puts your little naps to shame doesn't it". All I can say is it is your body saying you needed it. Hope it did you good.
Hugs, Neet xcx
Thanks Neet. The Rhine is beautiful in all weathers and seasons, and I sometimes buy a coffee-to-go and sit by the Rhine and drink it. Lovely! Have a great day, hope you are keeping well! Hugs!
DeleteGuess what -- you're allowed. Sleep all day if you need to, if it helps. I love your tag and the photos are great! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's good to have permission! Hugs!
Deletewow Valerie! this tag is extra magical and such a unique take on the challenge! xo
ReplyDeleteWOW! That was some recovery sleep! Hope you are feeling much better now! Love when your heads feature! love the sun shining in this one! Hugs, Chrisx
