T sTands for Tuesday on Monday!

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend was good! Now have a great, new week. Monday here is a holiday, so it's a long weekend. As a pensioner I always have weekend every day, but I'm still happy when weekends and holidays come round!

Today I have a royal fish in silver and gold in honour of Queen Elizabeth's 70th Jubilee, a great achievment!  And I am linking to Mia's fish challenge at AJJ. I scratched the gold when I was putting on the 'diamonds', but I have repaired it now. The text is part of an old song which we used to sing at school. It was originally written more thn 4 hundred years back for Charles ll, and is still sung from time to time. The melody is often played by the Coldstream Guards during the parades. I altered his to her etc in my version:



Here's a health unto her Majesty,
With a fal la la la la la la,
Confusion to her enemies,
With a fal lal la la la la la la.
And he that will not drink her health,
I wish him neither wit nor wealth,
Nor but a rope to hang himself.
With a fal lal la la la la la la la la,
With a fal lal la la la la la.



Today is also Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit here.
Here I had a cappuccino in the bakery department of a supermarket while waiting for my neighbour:


And here we went to the TonHalle again for a meal and an alcohol free white beer:


We both ordered the same, a mixed salad with mushrooms, fried turkey breast and sweet chilli sauce - yummy!

Sorry, not much text or photos today, I have been very shaky again over the weekend and it's hard to type. Actually, its hard to do everything, and I am rather exhausted.

Have a great day, take care ,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

TGIF

Hi Everybody!

Just a very quick post, had a lot to do today, and then went out with a friend this evening, so time is not on my side. And to add to it all, my computer is playing games again! For Mia's fish challenge at AJJ I painted an A3 lady fish, looks like she's got love on her mind. And of course, I had to add some spots. I am also linking to Nicole's FFO:











Have a great Friday, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at Art Journal Journey - fish

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ. Thanks to Michele who was a wonderful host in May with her lovely theme of birds. This time the lovely  Mia  of Craftartista is hosting and has chosen  🐟🐠fish🐡🐟 as her theme. All are welcome to join in, but please read the rules on our blog.

I got a bit carried away and made a huge scene (20" x 14") with fish under water and birds in the sky, strange mermaids, floating eyes and everything merging together. I used some tissue paper from Jane Davenport to liven it up, and really had fun just going a bit crazy with adding strange things:







Today and Thursday Rain has her challenge, this time the theme is  colourful June /pink. I found some older journal pages with some pink on them, and I will also be linking to Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd tomorrow:














And 2 funnies/thinkies:



Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
