Peanuts

I have a saying I use quite often: he/she has the brains of a castrated peanut. In other words: none at all. I must admit I roll my eyes on occasion while driving (ok, more than 'on occasion'), but today there were some people who must have had a brainectomy, because they were just unbelievably eye-rollingly stupid!

Mind  you, it did get me into some overtime, so not all was lost. I still have to make up for the time I used for traveling to the Netherlands earlier this year. I might even have to do a complete day of overwork (shock horror), but if I can avoid it, I will. I do have some vacation days left, but I want off over Christmas and need all my vacation days for that. 

In other news (and yes, this time there is other news): I received two large packages today. I had been expecting them and was very pleasantly surprised when I opened one. Yes, only one, since the other (same) package is for my sister. 

You may recall my little sister being here not long ago and on our trip over the Hardanger Plains, we both loved this view. And we both wanted it on our walls. So, photo on canvas and hey presto! It looks really good and I will have some more made as well. Different views of course and different sizes as well. I have taken so many photos over the years and I really want to use them for more than just filling on my computer. 

It could even be my birthday present to myself!

  1. Nice to be able to enjoy the photo! Our pawrents have a digital picture frame so they can enjoy their photos cuz otherwise they just rot in the computer!

    1. I've never really liked digital photo frames. They are too small for starters, especially for some really special photos.

  2. That's a wonderful idea!!! It's a great way to keep the joy of that view in your daily life. Thanks for telling us - that reminds me that I should go pull out some of the framed pictures my husband took (he was an armature photographer) on our honeymoon in Ireland and the years we lived in Japan. Thanks Mara!! PS, I totally love the canvas, it looks great on your wall!

    1. I've ordered five more photos now, the Kelpies among them! Different sizes and hopefully they will get here soon. I am so looking forward to seeing them all on my wall.

  4. Printing photos is a very good thing to do.

  5. I do not even have wall space left for pictures! So I just look at them on my laptop.
