Day 11 - Paint Your Dragon by Tom Holt

The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance.

Day 1 - Laurins Geheimnis by Christa König

I've started with new Who, and 9 will always and forever be "my" Doctor. Followed by 10.
(which is not to say that the others are bad, it's just a kind of "first love" thing.)

Ich hatte neulich Knäckebrot im Ausschnitt. Ist natürlich gleich ganz nach unten in den BH durchgerutscht, dahin, wo man wirklich mit dem Arm bis zum Ellenbogen ins Oberteil muss, um das doofe Teil wiederzufinden. 🙈

Aww, an Ewok! 😍

Thx for the head's up!

YouTube video by Charles Evans A Charming Old Building in Watercolour

I thoroughly enjoy watching this. Good explanations, the right kind of humour ("and a little bit of blue, and you get... a building with chicken pox." 😂)
Also, the banter between Charles and Gail - they're in rare form in this video. 😆👍

Dear Texas numbnuts,
whatever crawled up your arse and died - it's not the plane's fault.
Do. Not. Shoot. The. Planes. 🤦‍♀️

TGIF
(just needed to be said)

🤷‍♀️Hilft mir den Kopf freizubekommen. Ist aber momentan eingetauscht gegen Stifte und Pinsel.

Ist ne richtige Angebersache, ist viel einfacher, als es aussieht. 😆

It's a bookmark.

Yep.

It was brilliant!

Needed the memory today. What an exhausting week.
