Bookish Mail

Today I received another book in the mail.
It was send to me by SusiSunshine, because she knew I was really curious about this book.

Thanks Susi!

Nature versus Culture

Tasting in Groningen

Today we went to a culinary event:
Proeven in Groningen (Tasting in Groningen)
There were all kinds of restaurants presenting themselves with lots of yummie and tempting food.

We started out with trying out some local cheeses.

I was tempted by the chocolate mousse, but my owner thought we had to try some other things. (She ate a snail! Ergh....)

More tempting food.

Some of the booths were decorated really beautifully.
Voodoo Bride fell in love with these blossoms.

Hmmmmm, what's this?
Small chili peppers...

Limes...
What food uses both of those?

They turned out to be for a mojito cocktail!
We had one with melon. Very tasty and refreshing.

The best food we had were these mushroom burgers.

After all the tasting we sat down at a restaurant and had hot chocolate.

I had lots of fun and had some really yummie things to eat.

I'm Walking in Sunshine

Today it was amazing weather!

We took advantage of the sun to go into town to take pictures for a secret project (not these, you'll see the secret project pictures later this month) and to just enjoy the sunshine.

I had a great afternoon!

A New Friend and Lots of Pigs

I made a new friend at work today.
This is Tom and he came from a Cabbage Patch he told me. His owner brought him to work so we all could meet him.

What's this, an army of pigs?

These Piggy Bank pigs were waiting for me when I got home from work. They were send to my owner's OtherHalf because he made the illustrations that are painted on their sides.

See!
These piggy banks will be sold at gift stores, so people can buy them as a present for birthdays and other special occassions, like when someone retires from work or gets married and stuff like that.

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-
