Snow, you know

...and here it is! the diva that hesitated to show up this winter: SNOW! (schneefloeckchen, weissroeckchen... trallalla... *singing*)

of course i'm not very fond of it cuz my legs are always hurting when it snows but somehow it is just naturally having snow in winter. i mean, in summer i would go mad anyway...

Scorpio in the jam jar

Guess what, we found a tiny scorpio in our flat!

...and of course we immediately quarantined it in a jam jar and are now thinking about what to do with our little "pet"... you're very welcome if you have any clue!

There's even more paradise!

Yes, you may have already asked yourself, whether this were all photos of my trip to Asturias. - No, i still have some up my sleeve ;D (yeah, Veronika!)
And yes: i love the sea (and seafood *yummie*), and therefore i took loads of pictures of it... so, i have about 500 photos of it. O;)


that's at the port of Gijón:





still Gijón, even if you don't believe it - besides you should note that it was late December...!

that's the lovely village of Llanes:

There's a paradise...

Someone told me of a strange place to go...


a mysterious place...


a celtic land - "hay un paraíso", they said...


and I was ready to go there:


first we had to find the right way:



...and close before giving up...


...we found the promised land: Asturias, in the north of Spain

Farewell to the sun

sunlight is getting rarer these days, soon we'll have winter solstice - the longest night of the year! but remember: after that day, days are getting longer again ;)))



this was in ancient days called "Yule"




In ancient days the folk of old
When chilled with fright by winter's cold
Did kindle up a great Yule fire
With leaping flames in its great pyre;
So to entice the waning sun
To rise again and wider run;
It's fiery course across the sky,
To warm them so they would not die.

So we, whose minds now sense a chill
Of anger in the evil will,
The human conflict, hate, and strife,
Which hold a menace over life;
Would kindle up a flame of love
That we within our hearts may move,
In Yuletide joy, with love embrace
And thus abide in peace and grace.
John G. MacKinnon; 'Yule Fires'

Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
(Corinthians 13:1-13)


Stefan, I love you!

Time for celebration

Well, i have to say it: 25 years is a hell of a long time *ggg* a quarter century, just imagine! yes, and to come to the subject, it's ME who just lived to become that old! i mean, if i was a company, i would have organised a great party and been very proud of existing that long. but since i'm just a girl (yes, still!), i actually keep pondering, what i have made of these 25 years and if this could be a significant turning point in my life... but since i have a couple of really good friends, i decided to not brood anymore but have a beer instead... =^+^=








Thanks again to all my dear friends for being ones (and for coming of course) and most of all to my love Stefan, who organised all this and invited everyone! it was a great funny evening! thanks folks, i love you all ;))

Luv, Ingrid
