The Ukulele arrived!!!

Hello everyone,

it took almost 2 weeks, but my Ukulele arrived! After some first difficulties ("I think you have to hold it in the other hand!") and so far fruitless atempts of playing "Frere Jaques" which is recommended as the first song to learn on many websites, I figured I make a quick photoshooting with my self timer because I got a lovely blue 50s laundry box the same day and it all goes nicely with my walls!



 And while I was at it I figured I take some "naughty" ones. Well, naughty for me anyway. Those nudies are so implied, you can barely call them nudies!

As it got dark outside the second picture didn´t turn out, but because of the unsharpness due to slight movement it looks like Iam rocking hard, so let´s just pretend I intended it to be this way and it is art...


Trivia... Last week I reposted an oooold photo from one of my self timer shootings and ended up having like 130 Likes on my own site and one that shared it. If you don´t follow me on Facebook and now wonder what marvelos photo this must be.... It´s actually just my butt :-D Go figure!

Must go practice my ukulele now....

Vacation!!!

Hello everyone,

I have 3 weeks of vacation ahead of me! Yay! However for 2,5 weeks I won´t go anywere but the magic country of balconya. In case you don´t know that place of the world, it is situated right infront of my sleeping room! And one week of it I will be mostly by myself because John is working. So I make quick progress on home decorating right now!

I think Iam done with Chippie now.

Lavender and daisies on my window. I love the smell of lavender in the evening.

And I wait for the rest of furnitures for the living room to be delivered and set up. Today we got the dinnertable and chairs. However the table was so heavy I couldn´t carry it upstairs all by myself and the chairs came with no manual,but way too many strange things to use for setting them up. I can´t do it myself. I have to wait for John with it. However I know now that the chair-colors go with the wall-color (I chose brown, lemon yellow, turqoise and light blue for the chairs, but you will see photos soon!). I kept running up and down 3 floors the whole morning trying to get stuff upstairs. Phew. Is it ok if I skip hula hooping tonight?

Yesterday our stove was installed, too so I can pretend to be an domestic goddess right now. Phew.... I should go downstairs once more to buy vegetables to go with the dinner now.... Work never ends - even on vacation

Iam back online!!!

Hello everyone,

Iam back online! REALLY online I mean! I had the internet phone, however typing on it takes forever, I couldn´t read blogs and not really respond to messages either. So if you wrote, messaged, whatever - don´t take it personal that I did not reply. I just couldn´t!!! :-)

Slowly things are starting to look up. Every evening after work there is a lot of things to do. The laundry, that kept piling because we had no wasching maschine previously and either had to go to a wash salon or handwash, is fainally getting less, I sorted my private library by genre and I hope John will get out his driller to make the picture frames and the mirrow hang where they ought to... As the progress goes on here is a picture of my boudoirs current state...

The mirror is still laying on my kidney formed vanity, there are still boxes standing around, stuff on the wondow board that shouldn´t be there, but it starts to get fewer and fewer and the little shelf is still standing around (I consider putting it above my chippendale and store my lipsticks and perfumes in it. any thoughts bout that? More photos will follow when things are getting done! Still work in progress!

While I was gone I received this beautifull pictures from my shooting with Steffi and I hope you like them as much as I do.

That´s all for now!!!

If I had a boudoir....

....I would wear this all the time when I use it. As I don´t have a boudoir I will just play pretend :-D


It´s another ebay bargain of mine. 14 € including shipping. Couldn´t say no!!!
