SHOPPING SPREE

 In a short while we'll be off to do some wholesome shopping in my favorite country - Freiburg in Germany.
The top picture shows only a small section of the enormous shopping mile in Freiburg.
  A good pair of walking shoes is definately advisable., because there are tons to see and many beautiful sites to visit.
 

 
 Well, that's all for now  -  my walking shoes are rough and ready and so's  my large empty shopping bag.

NO WAYS


Nooo, I ain't mad at anyone - this was sent to me per E-Mail by my dearest Scottisch friend.
                BLESS YOU DEAREST FRIEND FOR BRINGING BIG SMILES TO MY FACE..............!!!!!!!!!!!

My Problem is -  I've been hound dog tired, I cleaned dirt and dust OVER and OVER again - due to our new kitchen that was installed last week.
 I caught myself a Royal flu, and when it   "disappeared"   I carried on cleaning and slaving, oooh  the work was never-ending. Because I never gave my poor Body the Chance to recuperate, the next bout of sickies was Standing right  ouside my front door offering me the next  round of viruses. So down I went for another couple of days flat in bed.  As a  determened Person I have always believed, work it off and sweat it out,,, and usually it worked,,,,,,,, strangely enough,, this round,, the gang of virusses dragged me down into the deepest darkest  dungeons of illness.

Hard for me to accept - - - old Age is definately  the cause - - - although I must honestly say.... I don't
feel a day over 20.    Fact is, the Body is telling me to calm down, relax, and take it easy.

 Nuff nuff moaning and complaining,  I am Feeling on top of the globe and as ever again I am dancing on the brand new kitchen floor to
  the Music whilst I prepare the dinner.

FROM LANGUAGE TO LANGUAGE


Only recently it was brought to my attention when my good blogger buddy could not pass a comment on my blog. Whilst chewing on the problem it dawned on me that my new Windows 8 was installed in the German language - instead of English.
If anyone else has this problem, here's what to do.
At the bottom of my blog entry you will find an open space which says KOMMENTARE//COMMENTS, click onto that and you'll be A and Away
Hope to "see" old and new friends real soon.

WEEKEND GIGGLE

Geeez am I glad this week's lying flat on it's back - I caught myself a stinking cold but instead of taking it easy, I will work the virus to a ground.
To top it all we're installing a new kitchen.
 A brand new ceiling was replaced by an old brown thing (will post pictures soon)
 The walls needed a fresh new colour -  I decided, instead of  a sterile white wall, I needed a soft touch of lemon.
 New bright lamps were installed   -  and today - Saturday -  we decided to rip away the old chocolate brown kitchen units -  because the new kitchen will be on our doorstep by Wednesday next week.
 I have done nothing but CLEAN CLEAN up to this hour.
 I have had my fill of dirt and old dust.
 Before suppertime I took a breather and a well needed break to seat myself in front of my laptop - - and my day was made when I received this funny e-mail from a longstanding friend.
 I laughed and it made me forget about my battle against the dirt and dust (even though only for a few moments.....)
 I am posting this and I do hope you will see the funny side of the Story that made my dusty day.

Prince Charles was driving around his mother's estate when he accidentally ran over her favorite dog, a Corgi, crushing it to a pulp.
He got out of his Range Rover and sat down on the grass totally distraught.
The  whole world was against him and now his mother would go ballistic.
 
Suddenly he noticed a  lamp half-buried in the ground.
He dug it up, polished it and immediately a Genie appeared.
"You have freed me from thousands of years of imprisonment, " said the Genie
"As a reward I shall grant you one wish."
 
"Well," said the  Prince, "I have all the material things I need, but let me show you this dog."
 
They walk over to the splattered remains of the dog.
 
"Do you think you could bring this dog back to life for me?" the Prince asked.
 
The Genie carefully looked at the remains and shook his head.
 
"This body is too far gone for even me to bring it back to life.
Is there something else you would like?"
The Prince thought for a minute, reached into his pocket and pulled out two photos.
 
"I was married to this beautiful woman called Diana," said Prince Charles, showing the genie the first photo.
"But now I love this woman called Camilla," and he showed the genie the second photo.
"You see Camilla isn't beautiful at all, so do you think you can make Camilla as beautiful as Diana?"
 
 
The Genie studied the two photographs and after a few minutes said,
"Let's have another look at the dog."
 
   HAVE A HAPPY AND DUST FREE WEEKEND ! !

MY FAVORITE THINGS

 

Julie Andrews Turning 79 - this is hysterical!
To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:

(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.


When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.


Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

>>>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd
that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores.
