Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF

Hi Everybody!

I had quite a busy day up to now, and even had to get up early - that was the worst thing! I'm always awake early, but I like to take my coffee back to bed, and then read, enjoy my coffee (and a cookie) and get up a bit later. Anyway, I digress....Today I had an appointment in Düsseldorf to get my hearing aids checked. I travelled by tram, and then walked the last bit -along Königs Allee and then through Schadow street, a huge shopping mile. And at one time an ice-cream jumped at me, so I had to buy it! Eventually I got to the hearing aid specialist, had a hearing test which showed that my hearing has got worse, and then my hearing aids were re-programmed so that they suit me perfectly. After that I went downstairs to the other department, where all the opticians are. My eyes were tested, and my sight has also got worse, so I was fitted up for new glasses. And I went a bit mad and chose red frames for them. In a few days they will be ready, and then I will go there again to collect them.

Today I have a mix of faces and some fun for FFO and AFFF:

Everything is from 2014:





This is a crazy piece I made just for fun, and with lots of faces:


I always love Pickles:








I had short hair back then, perhaps I will get it done like this again:








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

Wednesday / Thursday Post

 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:

Monday /Tuesday post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine went by too quickly. I went out for a meal with Heike - in Pizzeria Roma again - and as usual, it was delicious. And the weather was on our side, too, and we were able to sit outside, which is always especially good for people watching!  And as a bonus, my portion was so large that I could take half of it home to enjoy today!

Today I have another piece for Halle's challenge at AJJ:


And a few funnies, David Zinn's and photos:

Who has a good caption for this one?


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