A Trip to Winsum


Yesterday we were invited to Winsum to have dinner at the Gouden Karper (Golden Carp). Winsum is a lovely place so we did some sightseeing too.

I spotted a windmill hiding behind some buildings.

And don't you just love this beautiful building?

Inside the Gouden Karper.

There were lots of cool things to see in the restaurant, like this lamp.

And these pigs!
I must confess I was less pleased that they were on a sign that lists the menu.

My owner ordered a huge bowl of ice cream for dessert.

With strawberries. Yum!

A view on/out the window of the Gouden Karper.

We got nougat when we left the restaurant!

We did some more sightseeing on the way to the car and I saw this weird statue.



Another beautiful building

And even another windmill!

What a lovely and unexpected trip!

Asian Candy or Cakes

Our downstairs neighbours invited us to a birthday party so we bought them a small gift at the Amazing Oriental Warehouse:
Asian candy or maybe it's cake, but I think it looks delicious. The party was fun and there was lots to eat, but we forgot to take pictures.

ps: Check out my other blog as I did an interview with Carolyn Crane, author of Mind Games.

Offering and Weekend!!


When we got home from work today I noticed this in the corridor that leads to our shed. It looks like someone made some kind of offering, but to what and why? Very mysterious.

After finding the strange offering we went grocery shopping, so now it's time for:
Weekend!!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Cross Stitch Mail


Today there was a package for my owner. She was expecting a magazine send by her friend Jan, but this package was much heavier than just a magazine.

It turned out Jan also send a Cross Stitch Book! She knew my owner was looking for this book and she found it for my owner at a great bargain. Thanks Jan!

There aren't any pigs in it, but I did spot this cool mouse!

Lamp Spam


One of the things we bought at IKEA yesterday was a small lamp as my owner needed a new lamp for next to the bed. It has a really cool colour!
