For her other 5 photos celebrating her 56th year;

The other day I went to the nearest Lidl for groceries. Nothing dramatic: some fruits and… fruits. Would be a usual day and nothing to write home about, but upon arriving at check-out I’ve discovered that I didn’t have my card with me…

…I’s paddling the previous week-end and then I don’t take my whole wallet with me. In order to keep it “lite” I take only my driving licence and my card, leaving the whole heft of the wallet at home. I usually put the plastic squares back in upon returning…

…but not this time. (Any chance I’m emotional?)

So I’m staring into my wallet and see no card, but discover a 100 SEK note. (As an after-thought: if I stared hard enough, would I discover more?) And I tell the cashier that I’ve forgotten my card at home, but I have 100 SEK. And if my purchase costs more, then I’d have to abstain of some of it.

And then… (the heaven should crack at this point) a man, that checked-out before me, says: I pay gladly for you and you can swish me that amount.

A short mute scene… and then I say that I don’t have my mobile with me, but thank you nonetheless.

…I don’t always have my mobile with me. And the last I’ve paddled, I’ve forgotten it in the car (am I emotional or what?) And I expected to meet hordes of seals just lying there staring at me, because I had nothing to take a photo with. (When you have your mobile, they dive into water as soon as you appear at the horizon. They let yachts and motorboats pass “without a turn of their cabbage head”, but get all agitated, when I’m splashing by in my totally ecological and sustainable vessel. Unfair, to put it mildly… and where can I complain?)

…The man stays put while I’m digging up wee coins that’d add to 112 SEK of my purchase and then, when it was obvious that the matter is settled, he just disappears with a light nod and I don’t even have a chance to thank him properly for being there for me.

...cried the whole 35 min on my way home. Am I emotional or what?


There are men on this planet. And I am so sorry, for my own sake, that I always busy with my own emotions, when I should just enjoy the treat that Fortune sent me.

Here the heat wave is over, as temperatures decreased overnight and will not reach 90 F. today.
However, summer is far from over, with more than a month to go.

I hope you enjoyed your morning. My ex and I did.

Either way, enjoy these views of nature;

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others

Beautiful is life when you find the right person for you, he in turn will not leave you, but will stay by your side everywhere and will remove the thorns that are on the way to move forward towards love that is not Never ends

...now even the ueber left politically compromised BEEB is reporting that there is certainly an adequate number of Republican Senators to confirm the next nomination of a new Associate Justice to SCOTUS. Even that Later Day Saints clown Romney, and perhaps a few Dems. Reporters, and many other BBC staffers, are likely tearful. Inshallah.
Sort of gives one a tingle down both legs.
Let them just try to alter the Court in number, or in any other fashion.

How To Achieve Radiant Skin

Skincare and Beauty - Crafting a tailored skincare routine is your gateway to achieving radiant skin.
Start by identifying your skin type - oily, dry, combination, or sensitive - to select the right products. Battling acne and scars requires a comprehensive approach, from gentle cleansers to targeted spot treatments. Patience is key, and consulting a dermatologist can offer personalized guidance.

Anti-aging products with ingredients like retinol and hyaluronic acid combat fine lines and age spots, maintaining a youthful appearance. Never underestimate the power of sunscreen in protecting against premature aging. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF suitable for your skin type and apply generously for outdoor activities. Natural and organic beauty products are favored for their gentleness, absence of harsh chemicals, and eco-friendliness. However, research is vital to ensure these products align with your values.

Your diet directly impacts your skin's health. A well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains promotes healthy skin and hair. Weight management and overall vitality are maintained through balanced nutrition. Foods like complex carbohydrates and lean proteins provide energy boosts throughout the day. Nutrient-rich options, like eggs and salmon, stimulate hair growth, making diet integral to your beauty routine.

Physical activity is crucial for physical and mental well-being. A balanced workout routine includes both cardio and strength training to shed pounds and sculpt a lean physique. Resistance training and a protein-rich diet are key to building muscle and increasing strength. Targeted exercises, tailored to specific body areas, help you achieve your fitness goals. To maintain exercise motivation, set achievable goals, diversify your workouts, and seek support when needed.

Reducing stress and anxiety is paramount for overall well-being. Incorporate mindfulness techniques such as meditation and deep breathing into your daily routine. Effective relaxation techniques, like yoga and spending time in nature, promote mental respite. Balancing work and personal life is vital for well-being, necessitating boundaries and self-care. The connection between mental and physical health is profound, with regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and adequate sleep contributing to holistic well-being.

Healthy, vibrant hair is a vital part of your beauty routine. Prevent split ends and hair damage with sulfate-free, moisturizing hair products. Opt for air-drying to minimize heat damage. Trendy hairstyles that complement your face shape can enhance your appearance. Natural remedies like coconut oil and aloe vera nourish and strengthen hair. Choose hair products suited to your hair type for the best results.

Makeup enhances your natural beauty. Achieve a natural look with subtle makeup - flawless skin, defined brows, and muted lip color. Experiment with makeup styles, such as the smokey eye, for a creative expression. Prioritize quality and safety when selecting makeup products, favoring reputable brands. If you have sensitive skin, opt for makeup designed for sensitive skin types.

Effective weight management encompasses a balanced diet, regular exercise, and portion control. Sustaining a healthy weight long-term relies on maintaining healthy habits. Consult with nutritionists or dietitians to find the most suitable diet for your needs. Boost metabolism through nutrition, exercise, and building lean muscle mass.

Combat signs of aging with skincare products containing ingredients like retinol and hyaluronic acid. Healthy aging involves maintaining a balanced diet, physical activity, and nurturing your mental health. Look for anti-aging ingredients such as collagen, peptides, and growth factors in skincare products. Don't neglect the health of your hands and nails as you age.
You need not rigidly conform to every guideline.

Today is chilly, overcast and essentially a bit dreary.
However, yesterday, ah yesterday, was mostly sunny
and the autumn foliage was near peak.
Indeed, at it's peak, depending upon where the camera was pointed & focused.

Thus, I capitalized on the nice weather yesterday and had fun snapping well over 120 photos
between about noon and 4:30 pm, as I hiked several miles through woods, fields, and along lakes.
Towards the end I noticed that my camera battery was getting low, but no big deal, I had 3 others
fully charged in my pocket.

Most of the photos were of the trees & their colorful leaves.
But, prior to that, I also got some terrific novel innovative Halloween decorations on one property,
and much later on shortly before leaving the woods, I encountered a large patient snake, who posed for the camera as well.

All the shots turned out terrific.
I cropped them all to an 8 by 10 (or 10 by 8) perspective last night.

You eventually may get to see a few of them. I haven't decided on that yet.
I may reserve that for elsewhere instead.

Either way, I hope you had as much fun as I did yesterday.
Happy autumn to you all.
