Placed all my bits back in the cabinet. As some of you know, I make beaded jewellery, and needed somewhere to store it, that doesn't attract dust (my least favourite household chore is dusting 🫣😆), and this cabinet fits the bill perfectly. It also increases the storage spece of the dresser.
Pictured is a recently refurbished cabinet, doors open, filled with personal effects, including perfume, jewellery, makeup, and assorted knick-knacks. For lighting, I used two rechargeable LED "lamp" bulbs that you can either use as E27 bulbs in lamps that don't need to be plugged in, and the screw-in part attaches to the bulb magnetically. You can thus remove the bulb from the screw-in section, and using a metal disk that is supplied with the bulb, attach the bulb to any surface, as the metal disk has a sticky side that you can apply to your desired surface. The bulb also has a handy little hook, so it can also be hung up - I loved the multipurpose nature, and as they are rechargeable, they're also eco-friendly and economical, so a thumbs-up from me!The cabinet is now shown with the doors closed, which helps keep dust off my treasures! I forgot to mention that the lights also come with a handy little remote, where you can set the brightness levels, the light intensity, and also set a timer, so the lights are great for using at night, before bed, when you're about to drift off to sleep, and you don't need to get out of bed to turn the lights off, or reach out of cosy covers - perfect for winter. 😊

If you're an interior decorator, and you enjoy using sticky-back wallpaper, I tip my metaphorical hat to you... that stuff needs to be added to the list of things not to work with!! 😆😂 Not perfect, but heck, I saved this beauty from being taken to the recycling centre, so that's a win! 😁
Pictured is the interior of a large wooden cabinet, with glass shelving and lights. I am not a fan of dark(er) wood, so I decided to wallpaper the back of the cupboard, using stick-backed wallpaper. Quite the challenge and I'm not entirely happy with the result, as I am a bit of a perfectionist, but it will do! The cabinet is in our bedroom, so not going to be inspected by all and sundry! Same cabinet, but with the glass doors closed. Whoever made the cabinet made it with lead-effect glass doors, to resemble old-fashioned windows,with lead cross pieces for decoration.

Guten Morgen from Das Dorf on what is essentially the last Feiertag until *cough* the end of the year. Feels weird to have a Ruhetag on a Saturday, but I'm not complaining! Oh, and happy #Caturday from this floof, who continues to be a delightful addition to our home! 😻😻😻
A view of our purry miss in her favourite play toy, her tunnel, which she is slowly shredding to pieces, it gets so much action! She loves going inside it, sprawling out, and then attacking any hands, or pretend mice we dangle through the central hole, and she has sharp claws and even sharper senses!!Elegantly wasted... 😂😂😂Peekaboo, I see you! The blue trim around the central hole is slowly coming undone, thanks to her constant attacks through the poke hole - I was gifted a sewing machine for my birthday, so I'm going to attempt to repair that at some stage.Haggis lying on her new favourite Sisal scratch bed, which I might have accidentally-on-purpose sprinkled with catnip, to help the bonding process. 🤭

She also has her favourite teddy and catnip gift toys, which she loves occasionally attacking.

Good morning Lieblings... hope we're all well and fighting fit? The first of the -BER months is over, and as if on cue, Mother Nature's dialled down the temps by seven or eight degrees. This was the sunrise this morning - shepherd's warning, apparently! Have a great day wherever you are! 🤗
A photo of this morning's sunrise, with the sun barely visible through the foliage of the trees, but the sky was bright orange, which reminded me of the "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning" rhyme. We are expecting rain today, so I guess there is something in it!

Good morning from irgendwo in Niedersachsen... We're staying with friends, who live near Celle, which has a beautiful and rather picturesque old town, thanks to hundreds of half-timber houses. It is also where we met two young men who are completing their Wanderschaft - an amazing tradition!

Celebrated my Rutsch into my new year with Italian liquid sunshine while admiring my birthday gift from a friend (a cute set of twelve rechargeable eCandles, perfect with a cat in the house). 😻 59 ain't so bad after all, despite the need for a fringe trim. 😆 Bring on the Big 0 next September!

Happy Autumn Equinox to all in the northern hemisphere. 🍁🍂 I love this time of year, as I celebrate my birthday as the trees turn from green to red and orange, and it's such a wonderful thing to see as the sun comes up in the morning, and as a lover of colour, it makes me very happy. 🧡😊❤️

We might have stocked up on some Sanpelligrino drinks while we were in Italy. 🤭 Does anyone else go a little crazy stocking up on favourite things when you're visiting another country, and weight isn't an issue, as you've travelled there by car? We also bought an assortment of pasta and spices...

Back from a week of eating, drinking, relaxing, people-watching, cathedral-visiting, exploring, photographing... and feeling so very relaxed. 😊☀️🍹🏞🇮🇹 Thank you, Lago di Garda (and Parma) - we will be back, and we'll remember to book the Balsamic Museum in Modena before we go next time! 🫣😆⭐️💚⭐️🤍⭐️❤️⭐️🤗⭐️

Thanks to the storm there are several late flights leaving FRA, breaking the curfew... but I guess taking off in a thunderstorm is never recommended! We've had flights to Cape Town, Windhoek, Krakow, Madrid, Dubai and Leipzig just fly overhead.

When the cat finally steps onto the pet cool mat you splashed out for her on... hopefully she'll realise the benefits and use it more as the warmer weather kicks in (again). 🥵 #CoolCat #CoolingMat #Heatwave
Pictured is a cat facing away from the camera, hunkered down on a bright blue-coloured pet cooling mat, that helps your pets lower their temperature when it gets too hot. 

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, and today is the first time I am seeing her lying on it. Yay!

Tomorrow I'm internally celebrating the end of my second month in the new job. It's still going well, I'm still enjoying it, and today, the colleague I work the closest with paid me the nicest compliment while we were in a Teams call (we were both working from home) - he said I wasnt irritating. 🤭😁
Pictured is a German-language cartoon, depicting two mosquitoes in an office, and the one mosquito, seated behind a desk and looking at a computer monitor while typing on a keyboard says, "So you're looking for a summer job. What did you have in mind?", and the second mosquito replies: "Something to do with people."

Last month, when the temps were truly testing my Nordic sensibilities, we invested in a mobile AC unit (currently second best buy of 2026!!). I'm working from home (I have a fab employer) and mentioned to Him Indoors about turning the AC on today, and he said, "Have fun using the Breeze Block." 😂😂
Pictured is a hand fan, with the words "It's fucking hot" printed on it.

Things I'm grateful for... Cutting my long hair four weeks ago. Long hair and hot summers don't mix well! These fancy cooling cloths... whoever developed that technology, bravo! I know they're aimed at the sports world, but I'm having me some of that! Mobile aircon... praise all the gods!!

Today we enjoyed a lunch out in Frankfurt with some friends - gorgeous day, as evidenced by that blue sky, and our meal at Zum Schwarzen Stern was top notch, as per usual! He went for the Schweinshaxe and I opted for their summer offering of grilled octopus with jasmine rice instead of gnocchi.
