All your photos are wonderful but the first one stands out for me. I’d love to stay in that lakeside (?) cottage also. Loved the music. The words you chose for this week were good. I hadn’t heard the word nubilous before and it is one I will remember. Mine https://irenewaters19.com/2017/08/10/five-words-thursdays-special/

There are lots of words I don’t know. One reason I like reading on a kindle – so easy to find out meanings. I’m too lazy to go and get a dictionary with a print book.

Nubilous from Latin nūbilus

OK….not in my dictionary, but it appears to be synonymous with nebulous when I looked it up online!!

“nebulous” is used in Croatian as “nebulozan” meaning non-sensical that’s why I avoid it 😀

Yes, easing would be the right thing, but no such luck. Work volume has tripled in my absence, but remembering all the great trips we made during holidays keeps me in a good mood. Thank you, Lisa for being so prompt 🙂
