Radishes ?

Have  you ever seen radishes on a cactus?

Unbelievable where they grow these days.

I grew them the traditional way…… in my garden

a welcome addition to my salad!

It was rather delicious !

Plan for the week

I think I’ll pace myself this week.

I’ll start by being quietly wonderful on Monday

fabulous on Tuesday

brilliant on Wednesday

awesome on Thursday and

then slowly build up to being magnificent by Friday!

 

Why not follow this example and have a great week ahead 🙂

Have a magnificent weekend!

Best Cat Nap Places

Dear wonderful Reader,

Thomas here,

in between my naps a quick post.

I found new places for excellent cat naps.

First, a wonderful basket, I jumped in as soon it was empty.

Second , my mum’s drawer on her Computer desk.

I thought I better look up for a proper picture.

otherwise I just relax on the bin, the sun makes it warm.

All three really comfy places.

Try them out in your house, dear fellow feline friends.

Psst… don’t tell your owner you got the tips from me.

Have a purrfect nap on your favourite place. 

Today is …. #25

…a day for laughter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in the future?
Candidate: I think I will still be using mirrors in the future.

 

 

A group at a MENSA (IQ 150+) meeting were having lunch at a local restaurant when one noticed that the salt shaker was filled with pepper and the pepper shaker was filled with salt.

After a lengthy discussion they determined that they could swap the contents to match the correct shakers. All they needed was a straw and an empty saucer.

They called over their waitress (IQ much less than 150) and pointed out their concerns. Without hesitation she switched the lids, said “problem solved”, and walked away from the now shocked and silenced Mensa table.

 

 

 

Have a fun day with lots of laughter!

Hello from me – Danny

Hello wonderful bears and non bear people,

I need to check in, in between my mum’s posts.

I have been traveling again to Germany – just a quick visit.

Having a great time eating good food,

Relaxing

 

but also helping with chores.

I used all my muscles to recycle old clothes.

I couldn’t reach so I had to be lifted up.

My mum was very grateful for my help.

At the Airport in wonderful sunny weather

I was treated to my own “Strandkorb” – Beach basket

to relax on the visitor’s terrace watching planes.

 

That was just so cool.

Big hugs from Danny for all my friends.

 

Laughter

Laughter is the pole

that adds balance to our steps

as we walk the tightrope of life.

Laughter is the best medicine:

Why Laughing Is Good for Your Health. An old Yiddish proverb says, “What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.”

A good laugh can be compared to a mild workout, as it exercises the muscles, gets the blood flowing, decreases blood pressure and stress hormones, improves sleep patterns and boosts the immune system.

 

 

so here is today’s dose for you:

Sleep with an open window tonight!

1400 mosquitoes like that.

420 mosquitoes commented on it.

210 mosquitoes shared this.

One mosquito invited for the event. 2800 mosquitoes will be attending the event.

 

Have a fun day and laugh a lot!

 

 

What is it?

I went out by car and did something…

it was so colourful

I took pictures….

Can you guess what it was?????

Punting

A day out works wonders – like a mini holiday.

You come back refreshed and relaxed.

I tried it for you to give you experienced advice.

We went for one day and night to Cambridge, the famous University town.

 

Cambridge is a city on the River Cam in eastern England, home to the prestigious University of Cambridge, dating to 1209. University colleges include King’s, famed for its choir and towering Gothic chapel, as well as Trinity, founded by Henry VIII, and St John’s, with its 16th-century Great Gate. University museums have exhibits on archaeology and anthropology, polar exploration, the history of science and zoology.

Walking along the river Cam are many bridges- hence the name Cambridge.

Bridge

 

 

We came along punters and we signed up for some punting.

 

 

What an amazing experience, what fun!

The Sky was blue,

the weather was hot,

a real mini holiday!

My advice:

Go for a mini holiday,

do something different at the spur of the moment,

enjoy every moment

and have fun.

 

You feel refreshed, relaxed,

ready for the new week!

No Plans Day

How about a

 

Slow down and let spontaneity take over.

Do what you just feel like doing!

Go out with no plan

 

Years ago we went to Germany with our car.

In Germany we had a no plans day and drove out.

The children always told me at a junction which direction to go,

we didn’t know we ended up.

Like that I gave my children a sight seeing tour of the area where I grew up.

As I knew the area well, I could find our way home again.

It was great fun.

A drive out with no plan to go anywhere.

 

Have a no plans day and

enjoy every moment.

 

Changes again…

Hi there , Thomas here.

I am updating you with news from our household.

Things are constantly changing here and it is hard to keep up with it.

One minute there is furniture,

next minute an empty room,

then suddenly more boxes and

then new furniture.

Of course I am the first to try it out.

 

It got my approval, although my mum has now filled it with stuff,

so I can’t jump up anymore.

I guess that is what it is for.

I found a nice space with my friends.

The room has changed and I still find cosy places, so I am happy!

Changes can be hard

then can work out beautifully!
