-
-
>It was suuuch a nice day, so I thought, I am going to share some piccies.
The coffee-table for the family:
Lots of pressies from Vile!
And another heap by the parents:
And miniature primulas- how cute is that?
Thanks to you all, who made my day so purry! ==^==^==
-
>I thought I’d show how tall part of my daffodils-inna-pot have grown already. Makes you think of spring everytime you look at these!
-
>On Saturday morning everything was snowed in, it had been snowing all night through. With less wind, it would have been even more.
Well, on such a snowy day, I was only shortly outside to get a newspaper and some cleaning towels and used daylight to clean up the mess in my closet in the hallway and to begin to get my flat back into a state of order. Progress is slow, because I am easily distracted, but thorough, which can be seen at the amount of filling litterbags, LOL!!
While I was at it, I hung up my keyrack that looks like an ancient key. It almost took me one year to get it up, but now I finally did, LOL!!
And today there was more snow, so more indoor activities such as cleanings took place. When it looked as on the piccie, the radio guy called it „occasional, moderate snowfall“…aaah yesss..
-
>Well, winter is still here and demands some nice and cosy decoration, thinks I.
So my fake pointsettias are still around and my kitchenwindow looks currently like this, I found the lovely „roseball“ this weekend.
And these are a daffodil variation called „Bridal Crown“
which means that they are supposed to look like this when they have grown:

>..the bird that messes up my balcony, tells me off when I want to be outside, too, and always has the „last cheep“.
Here’s a shot through the window, when it felt safe, mwehehe…
Know that beak from somewhere? I bet that you have at least one such rowdy around your home, too…

>A belated Happy New Year to everybody!
Here’s this year’s piccies of the fireworks in the night when the years changed.
Pictures taken at my parent’s place, where I spent this New Year’s Eve.
-
>Wishing Merry Christmas to all who pass by this blog every now and then!
-
>More piccies:
Look, three flames, LOL!! On Sunday I must try for a reflection of four!
My seasonal window, just because it is so purry.
-
>Time for more lovely and cosy Advent-piccies!
The first ones are by my parents who mailed those to me. 🙂The Decoration normally in Dad’s working corner
Mum can has stars, too:
And then they have been evil- each year they have traditionally this basket to collect the wrapped pressies in- and you never know which are yours- or if any…*g*
Anyway, now today in my Advent the 3rd gift was this beautiful little tealight-holder:
The Swedes celebrate Lucia today – and so does my adorable paper Advent-calendar:
And I wish everybody a snug and comfy Advent Sunday:

>…to the autumny decorations and now getting out the first seasonal things.

>Already at work I was enchanted by autumny views (these first three pictures are taken with the camera of my cellphone).
View from my office:
But the greatest view has Petra (who has the most beautiful office anyway, LOL!!) who looks into the garden and into this great old tree that is now afire with colour:
When I was on my way home from work today around midday and saw this:
I decided to make it home quicklike and get my camera and have a stroll in the Boberger Dünen.
The river Bille:
The swans were looking up all the time- the moment I took the piccie, they started to groom themselves, grrrh!Where does this lead?
Into the fields where the sky was ever so blue and the air so fresh!
Little hidden treasure:
-
>Got some homemade stew handed in by parents on Sunday- just the right thing to eat now with that questionable weather, a warm soup- well, okies the soup part is small. But it is full with carrots, some soup-herbs and a bit of smoked pork chop. I love it!

>I’d like to have anybody visiting my website proceed with caution.
Firefox has just classified the pages www.my-ivorytower.de and
http:modelhorses.my-ivorytower.de as „site contains malware“- and google is blocking them, too.I have just checked the directory and found a script-library that is definitely not mine – it has been deleted and all the pages have been cleaned of some code-snippets that have mysteriously appeared in the files.
It *might* be that these are just hidden banner ads pasted there by the website host as they seemed to be from a toystore, but one never knows.
I have queued the cleaned pages for re-evalution already.__________________________________________
Achtung, bitte besucht meine Webseite(n) mit etwas Vorsicht. Firefox hat die Seiten gerade als gefährlich und „Malware verbreitend“ eingestuft und Google hat sie auch gesperrt.
Ich habe daraufhin das Dateiverzeichnis auf dem Server geprüft und eine fremde Script-Bibliothek gefunden – es könnte also sein, dass die Seiten von jemandem gehackt wurden.
Die Scripts und die Codeschnipsel in den einzelnen Dateien habe ich geloscht und bei den genannten Webdiensten eine zweite Überprüfung beantragt. -
>A while ago, we had a rainbow where you could see both ends touching down. It was still too big for the camera, though. *sigh* Here you go:
My plants now double as pressies! After seeing how cute those jute bag protections really look, I am definitely getting a red one for the third plant, too!
Things that the world does not need. I love it anyway, LOL!! Being a fan for the normal version of these, which look like a smiley:

I really *had* to get the Halloween version, LOL!! And even if that sounds funny, but it looks really good in the toilet.

>…is sadly gone now. Not only have I returned my „holiday cat“ to her owner Eva, no the neighbours next door with „Pepper“ have moved out, so if you ask me, here’s definitely not enough „catishness“ around.
To change it at least a little, here are some piccies of Helena, which I took:
Pretending to be a plush-toy:
New purry-looking rose-mugs on kitchen windowsill:
Yesterday I did a fat balcony clean up, tearing out weeds and cleaning windows and balustrade, now it is presentable again, so I have a few piccies of that now, too.
Very clean gravel now- normally inhabited by weeds:
(And thanks to the parents for the board to close the space under the spacer, so to speak.)The Chrysantenums gave up, so I have already wintery plants:
Sunny autumn splendour on a sunday morning- is there a better place to read a magazine? (Ok, apart from a real garden, that is)
-
>The petunia has given her last and was dying (drying up from the core while the ends were still blooming) so I waited until the last flowery abundance were gone before I replaced it with those two purry chrysanthemums:
A while ago, when hell and highwater came down, I took those piccies:
(On my balcony, there where the overflow from the roof comes down- the water stands there centimeters deep, if that happens)
And the reward after thunders and rainings.And here some piccies of my new deco in my „reading corner“:
-
>Arrrgh!! I always hated those wood pigeons because they so bloody loud and tend to sound their uninspired noises under the window of a room I try to sleep in, but today, they took this to a new stage of escalation. *snort*
I had done laundry of bedclothes, because it was warm and sunny and the clothes would be dry in no time like this, when dried outside.
So I sit there in my chair and see this bloody bird land on the roof. It turns around and I am like „No, you wouldn’t!!!“ and make a dive for the laundry rack – but too late, SPLOT! It landed a big hit on one pillow case.
I think in that moment I did a pretty good „Achmed“ impersonation, LOL!!!
I know that it is forbidden to hunt them, but maybe electrifying a rooftop is legal? (kidding *g*)Apart from that, this is my nice and sunny place, photographed from the inside. When the sun shines, the lavender smells nicely of lavender -duh- and the little firtree smells a tiny bit like a wood on warm days.
