out of the office June 29
Thank goodness! I’ll be out of the office for the next week.
Tomorrow morning, I’m on my way to Sweden!
Wishing you all a good week and see you when I’m back…..
notes from a very muddy… June 28
I’ve learned a lot about mud during the past two days. Courtesy of the St. Gallen Openair and a few rainy hours.
Happily the mud didn’t spoil the music and I had a wonderful weekend!
Hopefully you all had wonderful weekend too!
truly a surprise June 27
I found this lovingly made glitter star mask on the sidewalk. It was truly a surprise.
At first I felt bad taking it home with me…..
But my love for it took over and I can only hope that the owner doesn’t miss this lost object too much.
My runaway escape this weekend: Open Air St. Gallen
Music and friends and rain…..
oh lily! June 25
Oh, lily! You’re prettier than ever while you’re disintegrating.
And sending off that heady scent of old sweetness.
we have a winner! June 23
Thank you to everyone who put in their comment to celebrate the 500th post here!

Congratulations Maria! I’ll be sending you 5 photo prints especially chosen for you.

and so a new week begins June 22
Where oh where did the weekend go? Seriously. It was too short.
I’m reluctantly starting this new week. But soon I will realize that there are things to look forward to.
And it’s not that bad after all.
Certainly, I am looking forward to choosing a winner for the 500th celebration.
Last day to enter, is today!
favorite local schoolhouse June 21
On warm evenings, I often like to go and sit under these lovely chestnut trees. They are in the schoolyard around the corner from my flat.
Sometimes it’s nice to just appreciate the simple things.
*Don’t forget: Last chance to leave a comment to win some photo prints is Monday night. Go ahead, leave one!
the gift of silence: 10.50 in your local apothecary June 20
This week’s word was chosen by Jenna, a blogger I am just starting to get to know…and am liking very much.
what to do with old roses June 18
Blow them a kiss as you toss them over the balcony and make a wish….
And then once they’ve all fallen, go and put on some music by Grizzly Bear.
Replies:
Cissi and Lotte: Try it at home, you’ll like it : )
Nathalie: Thank you. I was bored and the camera and dead roses saved me!
Anairam: I love confetti, you too?
Lea: See my comment above. Boredom leads to interesting ideas from time to time.
bits of blue and red June 17
So I went to the Pet Shop Boys concert on Zürich and my ears are still happily dancing.
Love them! Really love them!
The other thing that I love is looking forward to a holiday away from home.
I also like that you’re celebrating with me! So nice of you!
*Replies:
Maria and Cissi: I can only recommend seeing the Pet Shop Boys in concert if they are playing in a city near you soon.
Brit: I’m liking your photos a lot. I’ll definitely stop by your blog from time to time!
Nathalie: The photo was taken just before landing at Zürich Flughafen.
Sulu: You make me blush. You are the sweetest!
Lotte: I should have guessed that you like the Pet Shop Boys too! You’ve got good taste in music, my dear.
Sandra: You won’t be disappointed in the concert, I promise, promise, promise!
