coco is my family’s german short haired pointer, and if you know anything about this breed it’s that they need a lot of exercise. and i mean a lot.
unfortunately for coco it’s been raining quite often & will be for the next few months (ah, love those cape winters)
so inbetween down pours she gets to go for walkies and doesn’t have to look so sad all the time. yay!
hello tuesday! it’s always nice to see you, monday is so crap.
this mountain goat could probably stare down marina abramović, hey? here are some more silly photos to get your tuesday rolling in the right direction…
♥ my mom as a kid, with her beloved daschund ♥ … happy mother’s day … ♥
i’m glad so many people are taking the time to share their old family photos on flickr. these belong to megazord.

that feeling – when it’s so nice outside but you have work to do. man.
my love for old photos never wanes, look at the gorgeous shots of this guy’s mom in the sixties
just had to show you the way my sister-in-law wrapped all the homemade stollen & cookies that she gave everyone at christmas (cut-out reindeer tags!):
i ate those cookies all at once. AT ONCE. more cookies (note the vanillekipferl / almond crescents, my favourite):
and some more holiday pics, just cos i miss it:
ho-ho-ho-holy crap it’s christmas already!
(that’s me, obviously happy with my christmas loot)
i hope you have a lovely day, whether you’re in the snow or the sun… my christmas is going to consist of opening gifts sometime late morning (or rather, watching as my young nieces and nephews tear open their presents, and then ask if they can open mine too).
then setting the table & helping my mom make all the food – which will consist of a huge roast gammon (served cold in thin slices, with the most amazing mustard & condensed milk sauce – it sounds weird but it’s delicious!) - and probably a leg of lamb, a beef fillet or coronation chicken with roast almonds (or all three, yep, probably all three.)
PLUS various salads and other side dishes.
this will be followed by dessert… maybe strawberries & ice cream, or crème caramel or even a trifle (or all three).
and THEN coffee and homemade biscuits made by my german sister-in-laws.
after that? a long nap, followed by a walk on the beach – and then leftovers. oh yes, christmas day is nice.
tearing through presents in my awesome one-sie pyjamas, enjoying the christmas spirit.
happy holidays!
