Hi Everybody!
Where did the week go? Once again it disappeared in a flash, and I didn't get much done at all. That's okay as I am supposed to be taking things easy, and next week I go into hospital again.
Today is Friday, that means Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF.
This is a collage made from torn paper scraps and there are also faces on it:
David Zinn:
Love this precious photo:
And some faces made for a 'back to school' challenge many years ago. The photo in the background is the school I used to teach at in England:

This was me a long time ago:
One of my favourite faces:

Two of my Modigliani knock-offs:

This was my husband at about 14:
And some thinkies, funnies and photos:
These three photos were taken at ALDI on Tuesday. The incoming planes heading for the airport skim over the lights and the the supermarket. It looks scary:
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
I like your paper collage and all those faces on it Valerie. Plus it's fun to see all your other faces too, some that I remember and some that are new. The school you used to teach at looks so classic English-was it English? I hope you have a nice weekend, and good luck in the hospital next week. I hope it's not for anything too serious. Or even a little serious. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. The school was very English, and was once a stately home. They are going to remove the stent from my insides and then we will see how it goes! Hugs!
DeleteI'm partial to collage and really like yours. Perfect for Friday Face Off👍
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Happy Friday!
DeleteGeorge Michael may have been a bit naughty, but he was one of the kindest and most giving, caring of souls. We need more people like him in the world today. I miss his warmth and gentle humour. I miss his voice. As you say, more Christian than many who profess to be.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well for you next week, Hugs, Deb
Thanks, Deb, that's so true. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. Hugs!
DeleteInteressante Papiercollage und all die anderen Gesichter. Ein hübscher Junge war dein Ehemann. Das muss doch so laut gewesen sein wenn das Flugzeug so tief flog...
ReplyDeleteIch wünsche dir ein schönes geruhsames Wochenende und drücke dir die Daumen fürs Krankenhaus!
Liebe Umarmung Elke
Danke liebe Elke! In the meantime the collage has been cut into various shapes to make something else. Uuuuups, ich war wieder bei Englisch! Bei Aldi it immer sehr laut, die Fluzeuge fliegen ständig darüber. Dir auch ein schönes Wochenende, Ales Liebe!
DeleteHi Val, good morning. I'm up early as I have an appointment at the dentist this morning, not nice but necessary! Have a great day, take care, hugs from all! Sarah
ReplyDeleteI hope the dentist is gentle with you! Take care, hugs!
DeleteGood morning ( I am awake in the middle of the night again) I enjoyed your post love the art and enjoyed the photos and memes-hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy. I am awake in the night a lot, too, but then I read or listen to an audible book. Happy weekend, hugs!
DeleteValerie, I need to remember, "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." Thanks for this great post. Be well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. I am a dreamer so I need to remind myself of that very often. Happy weekend, hugs!
DeleteSorry to hear that you are once again making the trip back to the hospital, Valerie. I bet you are fed up with all of this. If I could wave a magic wand and make you well, believe that I would do it. In the nature bubble in which I live, I had no inclination of George Michael’s acts of kindness; I am not sure that I even knew his name. But if ever there was an illustration of acts speaking louder than words, this seems to be it. To hell with religious hypocrites. Good luck with your treatment. I’ll be thinking of you. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteHi David! Yes, I am fed up with this in and out and soething else all the time, it's not really fun! George Michael was a man who helped everyone he could. When I think of some of the 'Godfearing' men in the USA and elsewhere, it turns my stomach. I don't need religious hypocrites in my life. Those who just plain do good without publicity and press, they are the good ones.
DeleteThaks for the good wishes, it will just be -3 days this time (I hope!). Have a great weekend, hugs to you and Miriam!xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am “old people” too. And I would rather hang with George Michael than with many of the “christians” that I know
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right! Have a great weekend!
DeleteSo much to see, read, and enjoy today but I'm completely taken with the article on George Michael. What an amazing and caring human being he was in addition to being a great singer. The press doesn't care to print heartwarming articles like that about celebs unfortunately. Those planes would frighten me out of my wits flying that low! I can relate to the password creation too - been there/done that and this one was really funny LOL Sending big hugs as you have to go back to the hospital again soon. I hope this will all be behind you soon. In the meantime, take good care and keep smiling :) That's the best face to wear :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. I loved that article, too, so good to hear nice things about people instead of only scandal and intrigue. I think we all get used to the planes skimming over, the airport is very near. In the meantime I hardly notice the planes any more, just those at Aldi. It will just be a short stay in hospital this time - I hope! Hugs and smiles!
DeleteLove all the faces and pics-it shows George Michael did it for the right reasons not for publicity! Sorry to hear you are going back in hospital, hope you are soon recovered and back home.
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Thanks Carol, it's always nice to hear about good people and not only those who behave badly! Thanks for the good wishes! Hugs!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you're heading back to the hospital again, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI’m captivated by the article on George Michael. He was not only a phenomenal singer but also such a kind and compassionate person.
Hugs and blessings
Thanks, it's always good to see that some people are all-round good and generous - so many aren't. Thanks for the good wiahes too!
DeleteThat old people joke made me laugh aloud. So true and so me!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I think that describes many of us oldies!
DeleteWow! I love the collage. So many interesting faces. Your art is always to clever and creative. Great shots of the plane. Sorry you have to go into the hospital again. I hope you are just going to rest. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole! It will just be a short stay in hospital this time, they need to remove a stent from my insides! Hugs!
DeleteI'm in a flight path and I know it..not with big planes though like international, but big enough so I know its there, glad to see your post pop up today and hope all is well, loved all the pictures and faces, always a pleasure..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy, I think it's fascinating to watch those planes swooping down! I'm trying to post twice a week just now, when I have more strength I can perhaps do more! Hugs to you and Honey!
DeleteThe airplane photos are quite amazing. Hoping you will feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, have a great weekend!
DeleteGood luck with your procedure to remove your stent. I hope your recovery is fast and total, and you can be over and done with the endless hospital visits.
ReplyDeleteAbout the planes: if you think about the actual size of those planes, they would cover the entire photo if they were flying significantly low. The depicted ones are actually quite far from the camera. If you have flown on a plane recently: think about how big it looks when you are in the terminal looking out at the end of the jetway!
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae. I will be so happy when I don't need to visit the hospital on a regular basis! Yes, that's true about the planes. The biggest plane we see here is one from Emirates, I woud love to fly on it, but not much chance! Hugs!
DeleteQuite a few faces.
ReplyDeleteThere are indeed!
DeleteWonderful collage and art faces. Sending healing vibes for your hospital stay
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ, the greetings and good wishes really buoy me up! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI'm sorry you have to return to the hospital next week. I hope it's not a long visit and/or procedure. I loved the art. I'm behind and will be more behind soon, but wanted to say hello and send good vibrations to you for your visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jeanie! Have a great week! Hugs
DeleteI do like your collage and the faces you've included in your post.
ReplyDeleteIn fact there was a lot of good things in your post, I enjoyed it, thank you.
Sorry to read you will be back at hospital next week, sending lots of positive wishes to you.
All the best Jan

DeleteGreat post with so much to see and enjoy vj
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok, much appreciated!
DeleteLove the Collage and Zin. Great Post as always. I hope your hospital stay is not serious or long. Will pray for you.
ReplyDeleteI will be taking a sabbatical. Not sure I will be returning at this point.
Hugs and Blessings
Don't stay away too long, I will miss your posts! Hugs
DeleteThat school you taught at looks like a castle! Love the Modig knock offs! And your paper collage is so fun. I hope your hospital stay is entirely to your benefit and you come out 10X better! Take care and we will see you upon return, XXO
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Aimeslee, much appreciated. Hope you are doing well! Hugs
DeleteI love your face and your husband was a cutie. I hope your hospital stay gives you much release and when you come out you feel healthy and full of energy. Hugs, Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, much appreciated! Hugs!
DeleteCool collage this week and am sorry to hear you are due to return to hospital and hope you have an easy and peaceful rest of the week before you go in. Sending healing hugs for a speedy recovery. take care - Michelle x
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, much appreciated! Hugs!
DeleteHello Valerie - Sorry, I should communicate more often, but have been out of action for most of our winter. I love reading your blog posts. They are full of beautiful images, wise and joyful thoughts. Hope you are well - warmest wishes, Wilma
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma. Hugs!
DeleteThis is amazing design and stunning colours, very cleverly done x Sorry not around much in blog land, with my f/b group and moving house time is busy... xx Hope you are well
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie! Hugs
DeletePiękne prace. Życzę zdrowia mam nadzieję, że wszystko będzie ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucyna, have a great week! Hugs!
DeleteHubby and I really, really enjoy George Michael. I never not once even cared if a singer, or anyone is gay, straight or both. Some folks like me and Tim, we just don't care about that stuff.
ReplyDeleteLovely art and thinkies -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThat is a great collage of faces and i love the many faces you share from your past work. I can see why the profile one is your favourite.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are going into hospital again, it seems never ending. I just hope it is not long befofre you are out and about again.
Hugs, Neet xx
Forgot to say that I had no idea about the generosity of George Michael, thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteHad to smile at the school photo, it reminds me of one of my own where I always think we look like the Bash Street Kids. not smart like the photos now whre the children are in uniform. Hubby was a good looker.
Hugs, Neet xx
