Time flies

Everyone knows it, time flies. No really: it IS true. The older you get, the faster time flies by. I do not like being photographed. I always stand BEHIND the camera (not in front of). But someimes I say to myself: go on> say cheese.

Wish I had more pictures of my grandmother. She died at the very young age of 29. My mother was 11 months old at the time. I am reading her letters which she wrote to her own mum and dad (my greatgrand-father and -mother)from the hospital. I treasure those letters, as I get to know her a bit through those personal letters. And then I thought: what the heck> shoot some pics, make something arty and place them on your blog. Because it is MY blog, about MY life and thoughts. See ho time flies: put a photo of me when I was 2 or 3 and one where I was 16 and a few where I am fourty-something. They are taken uhm...just a few minutes ago. VOILA. I enjoy being alive and getting older.

Inspiration

Came across this wonderful work by Rudi de Wet. I just love this! If I would ever own an office/public building, I'd go for this style. Amazing. Get inspired.(just click on each picture to see it bigger)

dream house

In 2006 we spent a week in a fantastic holiday house in Denmark, 20 metres from the beach! I just fell in love with that house, with the interior and the way it felt like "home" immediately. Since then, I dream of having such a house. Someday, somewhere...but it will probably only exist in my dreams (and in Denmark). Oh well, need to book a holiday to THAT house again! Simple as that!

My new wall

A few months ago, I blogged about how I love wallstickers. Well: got one myself now!
My apologies for the bad quality, but I took the pic with my phone and uploaded it to this blog directly! So now I also know how that works...
The shelf with some favorite photo´s and artwork was in my room allready, but the birds make it much more interestng to look at.
What do you think?

That is the cake I want!

This sounds a bit childish. But eversince I got my HTC Desire phone, I am addicted to this game I downloaded. It is called Angry Birds. And I love it. Since I discovered this silly game, I do not mind waiting for Joost soccergame to start on Saturday mornings:). It is such a funny game. If you’re a puzzle game lover you definitely owe it to yourself to check this one out. Anyway, a British guy named Mike Cooper made this wonderful birthday cake for his son. A playable Angry Birds cake! Wow. How nice. Take a look:

A week off

Just one more lesson this afternoon and then I have a whole week off. No lessons, no driving around from schools to private lessons at someone's house. I intend to prepare some new lessons, but also want to enjoy my week off. Usually, we go to Germany in February, to a nice holiday cottage. But Chris has to work (both at the printing office and at school as they have no holiday next week) so we're staying home. My little darling niece is coming for a sleep over and I want to read some more books and watch some movies. Like Inception. Have heard so much about it. But need to pick out a quiet moment for this movie as I am told that you really need to be focussed in order to understand it.
Anyway, I am looking forward to coming week and will start tomorrow with baking SCONES! Yummy. Following is a Haiku about the movie:

Dream within a dream
Itself in a bigger dream
I'm a bit confused.

Time is all messed up
An hour becomes a year
Slow-motion action.

You could be sleeping
but you wouldn't remember
Is this the real world?
