Another Thing Which Shouldn't Be...

Found on Cody’s and Maria’s blog:

Hermann's Cake

Hermann made a cake today with redcurrants from our garden (we have lots of them this year). It was so complicated that I was glad I only had to do the washing up – which was a lot of work but at least not complicated ;) Even though he claimed it was the first cake he had made all by himself it was sooo delicious :d

Thank you!

Thanks to all of you who posted birthday wishes :)

Birthday!

I received this lovely gift from my dear friend Annette - thank you :)))

Tomorrow is my 43rd birthday. However, I must say that I don't feel like over 40 at all - I think I'm really just about 25, that's what I feel like ;)

Extreme Shepherding in Wales

I found this on Sayori's blog and just had to show you :)

Family Visit

My brother Klaus and his family will visit us from Sunday for one week. I’m so much looking forward to it, especially seeing my nephew Simon (3.5 years old) and niece Amelie (9 months old). The last time we saw them was by the beginning of this year and Amelie was still a little baby then – and children change so fast at this age! Fortunately it is not that extreme any more with Simon. Almost one year ago he already did a great job as flower boy on our wedding:


Anyway, if you do not see much of me here during next week you will know why :)

Exhausted...

The weather is tropical again here in my little place on Earth, it is hot, the sun is shining, but the air is so humid that the laundry I did yesterday morning (!) is still soaking wet and starting to smell ugly (despite the beautifully smelling fabric softener I have used). So strange! No wonder this weather makes me feel exhausted, even though I didn’t do much today, just the daily routine. According to the weather forecast it is going to stay again for a while – I hope I will get used to it!

My Personal Summer Song :)

This was the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 contribution by Inga & Anush from Armenia. I love to dance to that song :) Don’t know why these two ladies keep reminding me of my favorite band ABBA ;)

Summer Blogging

It is summer now and this means that the blogroll gets slower and slower ;) I will continue blogging, except for probably two blog breaks of about one week – one this and one next month.

New Layout - again ;)

As I was not quite content with the background of the Thy Word Is My Light blog - not colorful enough I changed it again - this time I used a background by Hot Bliggity Blog.

The Fog

I took this photo from our balcony this afternoon after a thunder storm – one of many during the past days. The “tropical” weather is supposed to remain during the weekend, but meanwhile my body got used to it, so I do not suffer much any more.

Talking about health – both Hermann’s and my check-ups today went very well and the doctor found nothing to worry about :)

Blood Test

For me this is one of the worst parts of a medical check-up, because my veins are so difficult to be located. After they have found one they can take blood from they have to be very careful and it is always a rather long and painful procedure for me. Well, it’s done for now and I hope that at least for the following two years until the next general check-up nobody wants my blood!
