Webcam Failure

Today I discovered we have a webcam on our computer. I of course had to try it out, but I couldn't get the sound to work. So here's a screencap of me that I took with the webcam as all movies I made just have me moving without making any sound.

Teaser Tuesdays - Legacies of Talimura

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: - Grab your current read - Open to a random page - Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) - Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Luccia suddenly pointed ahead. "Look!"
Astanyx followed her gaze to two men who bore a striking resemblance to-

Jane and Jules

I got another beautiful card from Beanie.
He went to an expo about a woman named Jane Avril. I will have to find out more about her.

Thanks Beanie!

Today I visited the yearly comicbook fair.
I spotted this suitcase which was turned into a Jules Verne diorama. My owner tells me we'll be seeing this suitcase (and other suitcases) again later this year at an expo.

Another Fair

Yesterday evening we went to a fair together with a friend.
They had an all American CakeWalk! My owner doesn't like CakeWalks, so we didn't go in there, but cheered on our friend who does like CakeWalks.

We did go in this ride: The Thunderdome.

We also rode a small rollercoaster called Super Mouse, and a ride that was called Snow Crash or something with Snow in it anyway, but my owner forgot to take pictures of those. I had a great time!

A Meeting with Presents

Look who I met up with today!

Hammie was in Groningen together with G. and Har, so we met up with them for a chat and Hammie brought me presents. He's been to France and he brought some souvenirs back for me.

He brought really yummie cookies, lollipops, two really cool keyrings and a piggy! Wow, what a surprise to get so many cool souvenirs.

We had a fun time catching up on news and telling each other stories about the trips we made. Much too soon it was time to say goodbye again. But we made plans to meet up somewhere in the (near) future.

A close-up of one of the keyrings.
This is a small replica of a gargoyle that's on a cathedral Hammie saw while in Brittany. Isn't it cool?!

And a close-up of the piggy.
His tail can wiggle!

Thanks Hammie for these really cool souvenirs.
I 'm very happy with all of them.

Electronic Pigs

We visited a store with lots of electronic devices today and they had piggy loudspeakers!!

There was a flower loudspeaker as well!

It would be cool to have a piggy loudspeaker, but my owner told me they were too expensive, so if I want one I'll have to save up for it myself..... Hmmm, better save my money for a trip however cool these piggies are.

Jam

Rosehips

Yesterday the weather was nice, so we went out to gather rosehips so we could make rosehips jam.

A rose still in bloom.

I saw a bug on one of the rosehips!
We didn't pick that rosehip: bug jam isn't very tasty.

All in all we managed to get 3 and a half kilo of rosehips that we could use for making jam. That's lots of jam I can tell you!

Flipping Zombies

I got a zombie book in the mail!
I received this book as a RAK surprise gift from ALMYBNENR
Guess what my next read will be!

Thanks ALMYBNENR

Pizza

Today I got a pizza with 4 kinds of cheese on it.
Yum!

Waiting

We went for a walk after work,
but the bridge was open to let boats through.

So we had to wait......

And wait some more.

When finally the bridge closed again we could continue on our journey.

Temptation

One of our co-workers had home made muffins for lunch today.
So tempting!!!
I must bug my owner into baking some for us soon.

Mail and Clouds

After a boring weekend today finally something fun happened:
I got a card from Hammie
He is/has been in France. Looks like a place I must visit some day as well.
Thanks Hammie!

When I went grocery shopping with my owner we saw lots of beautiful clouds.

More clouds.

A Sunny Day!

Today it finally was dry and even a bit sunny.

We celebrated by going into town for a delicious meal.
I had mushrooms and potatoes and bread with all kind of tasty things on it.

Yum!

Beautiful clouds.

On the market square we spotted a seagull.
He was enjoying the sun as well while keeping an eye on the fish merchants.

Here Comes The Rain Again

Yup....
Still raining.
It must secretly be autumn already.

Teaser Tuesdays - Native Star

There's rain and more rain over here at the moment, so nothing fun to show you. So that's why I'm double posting my Teaser Tuesdays post.

"Digest faster," Emily said. "Unless you want your sister wading into the middle of a bunch of ruffians!"
He was clearly appalled, though he tried unsuccessfully to hide it.

Notice Board

We now have a notice board in the livingroom as well, so now I can put up cards there too!

Squished Mail

There as Beanie Mail for me today!
I always love those colourful and crafty envelopes he makes.

There was beautiful card inside the envelope.

And in the card was a small gift!

It's a penny that's been squished and now had King Henry VIII on it.

Thanks Beanie!
I love my squished penny.

Things I Saw During My Walk Today

My Weekend Just Started

My weekend just started, so first it's time for a nice glass of Dropshot (Liquoriceshot) and then I'll bug my owner until she promises me we're going to do something fun.

A Good Day for a Picnic

After a lot of rainy, grey days it finally looked like Summer today.

Time for a picnic!





I hope we'll have more days like this.
