Maine's Coast Lobster Hat and getting ready...

Here's a pic when days were lovely, bright and easy: hubby and I in Berlin in front of Wrapped Reichstag, July 1995. We had just become a couple about a quarter of a year before! We even were so fortunate and met accidently Christo and Jeanne-Claude later that day... now I am getting ready to pack my things for Berlin again; only with complete different suppositions...

My newest hat out of the Faroer yarn is done. I used the colour Fauna and washed it in hot water. It is ever so lovely and soft now! Put a little lobster on one side - and found some more lovely lobster samples to show off... Enjoy!

...see you next week!

Travelling....

This pic I borrowed and it shows the mighty clouds forming a tornado that caused a lot of damadge and injuries on the North Sea Islands belonging to our district. Think it is really impressing! Last night we had another warning out, but problems occured only elsewhere, but not here. It is cooler though today, what is nice and there is still a good breeze going....

Will be on my way to Berlin for a few days soon. This time the pets have to be in a hotel; the first time away from me....wonder how they will like it....?!!!

I like Berlin! And I am looking forward to a few off days. I would have liked to take the dog again as it seems he loved to be in Berlin, too. Normally he is more a country dog, but he liked all the new smells and adventures in such a big city...

...I am invited to see Blue Man Group.....

☀ Molesting Heat ☀

This is great! I very much welcome my new followers, who also sent such friendly and sweet mails to me - I hope you will follow for a very long time and will always enjoy yourselves here...

Many years ago, when I was still a teenager such a waterhose came towards me while sailing on the Baltic Sea. Short time later I saw another very small tornado on land, but never again in all those years. Only quite, just about 4 or 5 years ago while walking the dog. There was a tornado raging over the harbour, in great distance to where I was, and killed two men. I just saw the heavy clouds. Actually they were really rare, but since a few years we do have them more often. It was dramatic the day before yesterday! We had a storm raging just upon us! We were warned though.

No wonder in this heat we have....things like this occur.....I find summer quite molesting by now and for me it could turn right into Fall now....

When I saw such a waterhose I was not able to take photos; just had other things to do then, but it looked just like those on the pix shown here! Enjoy!

Cancer - go home.....!

Circle of Life continues - even in these many thousands of polliwogs!

Cancer in my ex came to a halt; it will never completely disappear or even be deleted, but it is under control. CT turned out super!!!!

Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow.

Almost 100°F is much too much for me - I am suffering! The pets are suffering! Who enjoys this? We tried to be at the beach, but it was even too hot there. See the nice beach at River Elbe with the island Hanskalbsand in the background.

60! Finally....

Two days ago it was finally my (ex) hubby's birthday - 60 he turned! A day we still some weeks ago thought he would never see.....these days he is feeling quite fine, hair is growing again and he is still busy with the arts! See above one of his paintings.....from his many kids he got a bass guitar for his birthday; when he was a young man he played one in a band....he was very touched!

Tomorrow he has to be back in hospital to get report from last CT; wish him luck that the cancer did not spread again and that he can stay without any further chemo!

It has been really quiet inhere recently! I am really sorry for that, but have been too busy. I only kept on with my other blog www.northatlantic-wool.blogspot.com! You are welcome to have a look inthere as well......

It is so muggy today; temps again up to almost 100°F - gets on my nervs; summer is defintely not my time of the year....we had a hard winter, now a hard summer!

“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it is better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.” Have been into some lyrics and poems and this one really fits me....

* Viking Days * Medieval Lair *

We had Viking and Medieval Days in town last weekend! Yes, Northern Germany is (or was) Viking area and so it lives on somehow. There are quite a few families that live just as about 1000 years ago. Sometimes they give a little expression about their households. Same place, same site as the lifestyle exhibition I showed in my post before - and yet completely different! Both were lovely to have a look at....see also the beautiful dogs that joined one of the ancient families. Loved this huge black dog with shiny blue eyes; obviously a Rottweiler with a tiny breath of a Husky...

Got some more wool from the Faroer Islands! They are also still Viking area, so I think this yarn matches really well in this post! They still speak and write a quite Viking-like style there on the islands, even some letters are still a bit runic. And the sheep also didn't change much in all those years. So the wool also gives an ancient impression!

A medieval travelling household! Enjoy!

This is already my post 350 - how time flies by.........

.♥. Lifestyle .♥.

♥It has been a little quiet inside here recently, but today I would like to share this cute items with you! There has been a small lifestyle exhibition by the lake over Pentecost and this here was my fave booth: Danish design from GG and others and I just loved this very old trailer used at a part of the booth. Weatherwise it was quite ok for some time; it looks a bit like summer somehow on these pix; but it is still too cool. See the Lab pups playing when you look out the trailers window! Nevertheless, strawberry time started for me - I had this heartshaped one in my basket the other day, cute isn't it!!? ♥

Enjoy! ♥

I registered myself on Facebook yesterday! I m not sure how it really works and what it really is good for, but I had the feeling, I should do it. If you use it, what do you do with it? ♥
