It has suddenly turn into winter here, I caught a cold which I hope to cure by tomorrow to be able to enjoy my gym class. Other than that it will be just editing photos and catching up with friends. I hope you are not working over weekend, Mark.
🙂 I was in Rome only once and despite many obstacles on our trip it was wonderful, so wonderful that I am afraid to go back in fear it would spoil my earlier memories 😀
This is a great take on the challenge,Paula. You bridge looks fabulous! Love the music and the rhythm, what am I listening to?
Hope you get rid off your cold very soon! Bonn is very warm at the moment, sending you warm regards and sunny spells,
Dina Xx
Hi Dina, thank you for the wishes. I will recover in a jiffy – it is justa weather shock, just a few days ago we were in Lisabon at 36 Celsius and now it is 11 Celsius in Zagreb. You are listening to Biagio Antonacci – Ti penso raramente. A catchy tune, isn’t it? 🙂
Hi Jo, I am a bit overwhelmed with all the backlog at work, and touched that so many co-workers needed me – makes me think I won’t lose my job any time soon :D. Both hubby and I suffered a tremendous temperature shock and are with cold now, but I plan to be well by tomorrow morning – to many things to do to be lying around. How are you?
That’s a good feeling- to have been missed and needed. Family crisis ongoing with my daughter which I’m powerless to help with but otherwise fine. Get well again soon. (incidentally- have you been nominated for the 5 photos/5 stories challenge, and would you want to be?) Hugs, Paula!
No, no, I don’t want to – it would be flattering and you are the only one to think of nominating me so big thanks – I am a bit overwhelmed with my chores now. What’s going on with Lisa? I hope it is not the health issue? I won’t pry, but you got me worried.
When you say a sandy day, are you implying that you were in a sand storm, or just desert as the one you sent me? 😀 What do they use as a strong drink over there?
Black Smirnoff is 80 – some countries have limits not all – the home made stuff in Norway sometimes close to 90 – we have to know not drink to much and not to fast – we have to remember to enjoy it… 😀
You are right about that – “after-biking” is always to remember to stretch – and most mountain bikers do breath slowly otherwise they go ‘dead’ very fast.
Kaysersberg in Alsace is close to places for ski or snowboard – I’m not a fanatic but loves good food and wine – but still want to be the one who doesn’t get out of breath on the stairs – that’s the reason why have my bikes and my snowboard… 🙂
Très bien merci Paula. Moi j’ai voyagé par l’intermédiaire des films que j’ai vu au festival du film à cannes ! une trentaine depuis le début et c’est pas fini encore demain…
Fatiguant oui un peu pour les yeux ! autrement il y en a pas mal qui m’ont plu mais là faut que je me remette tout en mémoire j’en ai trop vu et je mélange un peu tout (hier 5 films dans la journée !)
A far more complex image than usual Paula, showing so much detail in every dimension, reflecting the long history of the subject. It’s still very much there.
I remember your brave endavour cycling in Rome and in heat moreover 🙂 That broken bridge is what touched me most while I was there. I was happy to share this with you, Sue.
