Hanging with my Folks

It is the last day (last hour!) of my Summer Holiday and I've been with my parents in Friesland. It was a very nice day.
On the way home I saw the design that I made for a restaurant. I made it when I was about twenty years and lived in Friesland.



  

Having a Drink

I spent the afternoon with colleague/friend A in the pub for a drink.
We talked about the future and the changes to come. She will be leaving the hospital (were we work) in november. I have to go through some assessments in January 2013 to see if I can stay.
I now have only one day left of my Summer Holiday!!!

A Day in Germany

So today we (A and I) went to Leer, a German town. Just for fun. We were here earlier in August 2009. With a rented car we made our trip. We did a little bit of shopping, eating and walking by the waterfront. It was very nice and quiet near the water (the Ems). We had some rain, cloudiness and later on some sun. 

New Sandals

These are my new sandals on which I have already walked a lot and which caused me some big blisters under my feet. 
But they are nice, aren't they?

Happy Birthday...Mr. President

               


Barack Obama celebrates his 51th birthday today.
I wish him many happy years and another four years of presidency.

Holiday in Friesland

Yesterday and today I visited my brother, his wife and daughter in Friesland. The weather was fine apart from some rain. I walked the dog and prepared dinner, because my brother and his wife had to work a part of the day. With my niece J I had a lot of fun and we stayed up late to watch the olympics and we slept in today till about half past eleven.
Tonight I came home and had pizza with friend A. When we had a walk afterwards we saw the full moon rise above the water. It was a beautiful day!

Hot Summer Day

Today has been a really hot summer day! 
I had a picknick near the water and a long walk. 
So long that I now have blisters underneath my feat.

Passe Partout

Last night around midnight I found inspiration to try out my new mat cutter and I made two frames for my photographs.
All went well and the frames made my photo's look a lot better!

Natural Remedies

                        



I'm having a couple of days off. 
So today I have been shopping in the second hand shop around the corner, just for fun.
I found this book about natural remedies for all kinds of illnesses. 
My parents also have this book, so it is familiar to me. 
I'm happy to have it myself; it's very interesting.

August Edition

Today you can find some new photographs on www.modelsandfriendsgroningen.nl.

Opening Ceremony Olympics

Wow! What an impressive opening ceremony of the Olympics 2012 in London last night! I enjoyed watching it. Music, design, people, history, enthousiasm, happiness, creativity, sportspeople of 204 countries, royalty and celebrities and much more.
I went to bed about two o'clock.

Style by Diane

Diane von Furstenberg is a designer who is able to create a look for women of all ages. Even mine...
Here are two outfits from her Resort 2013 collection that would look good on me.

My colleagues

Now while the weather is so beautiful I and my colleagues are having our tea and coffee breaks outside in the sun or in the shadow. Wonderful!


Yesterday the regional television visited our hospital and filmed one of my colleagues: you can see her above in her African dress.

Tan

In the two-three days that Summer is here I already have a bit of a tan. Don't you agree? With a little help of a self tanning product....
Today's temperatures are about 28 degrees!

Medicinal Music

Last night I was a little depressed. When I watched the movie 'The Last Waltz' about the last performance of The Band on November 24th 1976 in San Francisco I felt quite happy again. All my old musical heroes were there: singing and playing and talkin about their lives.
Music from my younger years is always my best medicin!

Little Walk

I had a little walk in the neighbourhood and took a couple of photographs of the Ikea building with the stairways and straight lines.
The weather is beautiful today!

Going to the Movie

Intouchables

I've been to the movies today: Intouchables.

A lovely feel good movie with beautiful actors.

Summer Style

By Jil Sander

I found this photo in a fashion magazine today: a lovely two piece in white by Jil Sander. Now that Summer seems to be really coming I would like to wear white. Funny thing is the knitted sweater with the face: I had almost exactly the same one about twenty seven years ago - I wish I still had it!

Mail Problems

Today I'm having trouble with my mail and facebook account.
On the other hand I succeeded in doing some other PC activities that I never tried before like sending large photo files via wetransfer.com.
Let's see what tomorrow brings, digitally.
