Whahahahaa..... yes I agree wholeheartedly ... totally ridiculous innit? In a restaurant! Wow! Duck .... in a restaurant! Who in their right mind would eat duck in a restaurant? Nah, duck you eat in your kitchen, after cooking it for about 4 hours and then doing all the other cooking to turn it into that scrummy thing that Chefs do to duck. But eat it in a restaurant! Wow, how unusual!
Tartank! Thank you! Now that is what I call an interesting read ...... DETAILS. Sounds great. Doesn`t matter how one decorates, the question is ... The person living there must be happy with whats around them ..... huh?
I always had this fantasy of having an Arabian style decor ... you know .....big cushions on the floor for seating, everything in rich exotic colours, tasselled lamps, a hookah in the corner, draped fabric on the ceiling ...... incense burning .....everything low - and wood furniture all painted black. Well I getting there .... I got the Persian carpets now .... I just waiting for the building renovations .......
MORE DETAILS FROM MORE OF YOU .............. please?
Oh, take no notice of this "Renowa" character - he wont be here for very long - same guy, same modus operandi - gets kicked off the site regularly - reurns regularly too - with a different exotic sounding name ....... Likes to get nasty with men, and palsy with females.
You shaking hands, or your hands are shaking? Tis quite strange to see ...... the hands go out, but they don`t touch!
I guess one should have one of those little tiny bottles of disinfectant and then after shaking hands you disinfect yourself?
Ja ja, the Swissies are very good with Preventative Medicine! Now the school kids have to look the teacher in the eye and say "Grüetzi", and at home time the same procedure with "Adieu/Aufwiedersehn"..... The teacher stands with arms folded DO NOT TOUCH!
Right now, at this point in time, I am going away from CS! I have to go take a shower, put my comfortable big baggy stretchy clothes on, then pour another wee whisky, roll a looooong smoke, go stare at the sky awhile, drink, smoke ..... heat up my dinner ... maybe eat it, or maybe not, depending on how scintilating CS is .....I may be back, or I may not be back, all depends .......... Maybe I get all respectable and responsible and go to bed at a decent hour so I can get up in the morning ..... I`m supposed to be in charge of the house!.... while the parents are away ......enjoying themselves ......
All you gotta remember Elley ....... is ...... WASH YOUR HANDS! You gotta keep washing your hands, like Errol Flynn did shortly before he got all senile and dementia-d.
No-one touches anyone anymore here ... the Swissies have even given up shaking hands!
I am alone at home with the small kids - and its just great! The parents have gone off for a short retreat into the Black Forest ...... and LEFT ME IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE!
Funny how things run so smoothly without the parents here?! .. Everyone is in bed at the right time .....the cats are fed .....the kitchen is still clean .......we did some great shopping this afternoon and found everything we were looking for ........ and now I relaxing with a whisky and CS .....
And we even decorated the entrance with some cute newly purchased Autumn stuff, and a big "Wilkommen" sign!.. and a new pot plant...... ... Oh okay, so we spent most of the housekeeping money - but who cares?... That`s what parents are for .. to work and make money ....... ... I`m not a parent anymore - just a granny!
Only if a particularly good movie is brought home, and HIGHLY recomended to watch will I grace the area in front of the set.
Oh, sometimes, if bored (bored?) I may watch a wild comedy if it makes me laugh. .... >or sometimes a documentary may catch my attention ... if its about animals.........
But I never believe anything serious I hear on TV - its all "La-la" land stuff ....... you can invent anything with a camera....
Yes, you gotta live with clutter first - to appreciate minimalistic, I think?
Minimalistic is my ideal ..... lots of space .... for the energy to flow!
To me - something has to have a FUNCTION - not be merely ornamental..... Like windchimes ... I bought 2 this week, for only .50 euro cents each! .... they do function .... my excuse was ... nah, I can`t say it ... you know what windchimes are for, hey? .... like my two little ceramic tortoises that cling by their claws to the side of the pot plant?
Robert 007 ... you are SO facetious! Thongs on the chandelier and wine cellar in vehicle!!!!!!
I know you have a magnificent villa on a tropical island .... lace curtains waft in the breeze of the open floor to ceiling shutters ..... balconies off every room ...... magnificent views of the ocean from the roof-top garden .....
You even have an automatic LIFT and dont have to use the stairs!!!
If I win the Euro Lotto this week may I buy your villa?
So - you forgotten, sort-of, whats in the boxes? I lived like that once, and to open each box and find "myself" was a wonderful eperience. Amazing how we define ourselves by our things we own/have colected/made.
Furniture ..... do you have furniture? Do you like the furniture you own? Or you want to buy something different now?
Men! Of course your surroundings affect how you feel!
You got old gloomy stuff with historic memories?.......
So ... when you sell one day ...... what do you invisage you gonna live like...? Bright colours..?... or Austere Lawyer style...? You gonna live in a rented apartment? Highrise? Ground with a small garden?.... Bungalow style lots of lawn to mow? You need a workshop area? ...... Beach Cabana no garden maintenance...? Bellhop to fetch the Lamborgini...?
Tulefel .....WHAT do you want to change? What was your "look" before?.. and how you gonna change it? I want details! We all want details!.... it`s inspiring!
So .. you gonna unpack your sacks and boxes..... You got any furniture stuff you kept?..... shelving? bookcases? sitting on stuff..? Lots of wood? or covered furniture...? Colours? whats your favourite decorating colour scheme?
You like Chintzy? Arabic? Minimalist? Eclectic?.......or you just gonna Go With The Flow of Your Heart..?
What`s your style of indoor decor? Do you have a particular style...? Are you happy with your way of decorating where you live ....?... or you just happy to have a bed to sleep in, something to cook on, and a roof to keep you dry?
Have you actually gotten around to satisfying yourself with how your home is decorated?... Or are there things you would like to change?
Never let the details of life hinder you. You are doing great here - and small details of writing do not detract from what you are saying..... At least you are here participating, and its good to see you
So ... I think we have a Welcome Party for you...?
Ja, I also saw it ...... maybe his computer is still alive somewhere...?.. and Weddy is up in the hills persuing his dream of farming and painting......
The third village from mine - Wasterkingen - is having their anual street party tonight .....Earth news shattering aint it?
AND I chose to stay at home to be with you tonight!.. well, sort of - I also got a juicy home-made hamburger to eat, and a good book to read, and its cold out.......
That`s the basis of Life here on Earth ..... We may think we wasting our time .... but there is a REASON for being here! (we may not even know it ourselves!)
When last did someone else cook for you......?
Whahahahaa..... yes I agree wholeheartedly ... totally ridiculous innit? In a restaurant! Wow! Duck .... in a restaurant! Who in their right mind would eat duck in a restaurant? Nah, duck you eat in your kitchen, after cooking it for about 4 hours and then doing all the other cooking to turn it into that scrummy thing that Chefs do to duck. But eat it in a restaurant! Wow, how unusual!
