We will open the book
Its pages are blank
We are going to put words
on them ourselves.
The book is called Opportunity
and its first chapter is New Years Day!
Let’s write
a wonderful book together!

Something completely different for this week.
We found behind a gasfire a fireplace
which looks like the Tunnel of the London Underground
right there in our new front room.

Today a picture of my new garden.
Blooming already with beautiful Camellias.
This one is specially beautiful with the shape of its’ petals.

Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. Don Miguel Ruiz
A just finished a jigsaw of the most beautiful Waterfall
in Iceland – Seljalandsfoss
This is one of few places in the world where
it’s possible to walk behind a waterfall;
and we did exactly that when we visited in 2015.
It was amazing and I remember it very well.

Take pride in how far you have come. And have faith in how far you can go!
Here is my post from 2015.
Meet Eleanor Oliphant: she struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding unnecessary human contact, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen, the three rescue one another from the lives of isolation that they had been living. Ultimately, it is Raymond’s big heart that will help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. If she does, she’ll learn that she, too, is capable of finding friendship—and even love—after all.
