Chimney fire

The day started dark and cold with about 7° C degrees and a heavy downpour.

My picture for today is also for the project from Katinka "Schöne Momente im Herbst/Winter" and shows you our chimney fire from Saturday.

It was a busy Monday with many appointments; for example influenza vaccination for three of us.


The whole day was mostly dark and grey, and it was raining again and again.

Building-up a pyramid

The alarmclock was ringing at 5.30 am .... because....

..... my elder son had another international swimming competition - there were also teams from Austria and Czechoslovakia. I brought him to the meeting point for the departure.

After breakfast I went to children´s church with my younger son.

Later I picked up my son at the swimming bath and we enjoyed a sandwich at Su*bways.

We had cold, dark, grey, rainy and stormy weather today. So the rest of the day was lazy; in front of our chimney.




Saturday 10.10.2009 Day 283

Little accident

In the early morning my younger son had his guitar lesson, whilst my husband and my elder son had an appointment at the hairdresser in each case.

On his way out of the garage, my husband hit the car of the guitar teacher...

After playing the guitar my younger son had a soccer match in the neighbouring village (his team won 7:1) . My elder son had a soccer match about 20km away at the same time and his team lost (1:9) despite the goal of my son.

Playing soccer on a cold, rainy and windy day wasn´t much funny...

For warming up we enjoyed afterwards a visit in an Italian restaurant, where I had mussels in wine sauce. Delicious.

Back home again we lit a chimney fire what was very comfortable.

In front of it my younger son built-up the Playmobil pyramid he bought by himself, after saving money for a long time. He was so proud!!


CU tomorrow after work!

Fall decoration from my younger son


It was another ordinary day - today nothing special happened.

The weather was quite nice, mild and sunny.

In the evening both boys had their swimming training.






Thursday 08.10.2009 Day 281

Washing the hair


It was a really busy day with many appointments.

One was in the afternoon with my elder son by the doctor. Beforehand we had the guitar lesson of my younger son.

The mother from the classmate who is sitting next to my son, called in the evening whilst my elder son was at his soccer training. To my horror I heard that the classmate is having head lice, probably.

So I examined my younger son - blessedly NOTHING!! I picked up my elder son from his training, examined him - blessedly NOTHING!!

Anyhow we bought precautionary a lice shampoo.

My husband had to apply it by my son, because I had my pilates course and was in a hurry!

It was a grey and overclouded day. Sometimes it was raining.

Spider outside in front of the window


Not a good shot - I know - It´s a shot through the window - with the "wrong lens" But the spider was really fast

Today I had a conversation appointment with the tutor of my elder son, before that I was by the physical therapist - not by the handsome one - but by the female instructor of my pilates course.

The day was totally sticky and grey with about 25° C degrees.

My elder son had to stay in school (on Wednesdays) until 3.15 pm because of "Jugend forscht" he is working on a skin cream!

In the afternoon we cleaned up the room of my younger son.





Tuesday 06.10.2009 Day 279

Magnetic pinboard


I´m trying to made a magnetic pinboard.

It was extremely windy today - like a real autumn storm.







Monday 05.10.2009 Day 278

Sunrise

No time for pictures today, I had to work, and nothing special happened.

So I show you the sunrise from Wednesday 7th. Isn´t it beautiful?

Later it was raining....

In the evening I had a preparation meeting for childrens church on Sunday.


That´s all for the last days

CU tomorrow

Schöne Momente im Herbst und Winter

Auf Katinkas Blog bin ich über das Projekt "Schöne Momente im Herbst und Winter" gestolpert und fand das eine tolle Idee! Als sie mich nun auch noch ganz lieb eingeladen hat konnte ich nicht nein sagen - und bin dabei!!



Die Regeln:
Jeder, der mitmacht, zeigt einmal pro Woche einen positiven Moment aus der kalten Jahreszeit. Das kann ein Bild sein, ein Gedicht, eine Geschichte oder was Euch sonst so einfällt – es muss natürlich irgendwie zum Herbst oder Winter passen.

Der Beitrag sollte einmal in der Woche zwischen Montag und Freitag gebloggt werden.

Das Projekt startet am Montag, den 12. Oktober und geht zunächst mal bis zum Winteranfang, also dem 21. Dezember 2009. Ob wir anschließend noch weiter machen, können wir dann entscheiden.

Der Sinn der Aktion soll sein, dass wir uns die Schönheit auch dieser Jahreszeiten deutlich machen, sie bewusst erkennen und uns nicht zu sehr `runterziehen lassen.
Es wird sicher eine Herausforderung, wenn wir im November 2 Wochen Dauerregen und Kälte haben…..aber gerade dann macht diese Aktion Sinn :-).

Vielleicht habt Ihr ja auch Lust mitzumachen? Dann schaut doch einfach mal auf Katinkas Blog vorbei!!

Harvest festival wheel

In the morning my younger son and I were in church. It was a wonderful service with our new pastor, his guitar and a children´s choir.

Afterwards my son went to a annual fair with his grandmother in the neighbouring-county.

So I had a lazy Sunday inside!! Outside it was a really uncomfortable, cold and stormy weather, later it was raining.

At 8.40 pm my elder son returned from his swimming competition. He was very very tired.

CU tomorrow!

Departure to the match

We slept in a little bit until 7.30 am - that´s late for us...

Today was an official holiday "Tag der Deutschen Einheit" here in Germany.

At 1.00 pm my elder son departed to a swimming match over the weekend.

After we had said goodbye we decided to went to the cinema. That was a big wish from my younger son - he wanted to see Wickie

Filmposter in front of our cinema

There was many to laugh about so we enjoyed the film and the big bag of popcorn.

Afterwards we went to an ice cream parlour. We had mild autumn weather with a little bit sun, so we were sitting outside with our cup of café latte and ice cream.

In the late evening our television set gronked out. I think it´s not worth to repair it.

CU tomorrow

Vegetables and fruits for the harvest festival

Cloudy and cold day with about 12° C degrees.

In the late afternoon my younger son went to church.

Many children joined up there for collecting fruits and vegetables in the village for the harvest festival service on Sunday. My son got this basket on the picture for the service from his grandmother.

After collecting they decorated the altar in church with the vegetables and fruits. And now my younger son is looking forward to the service on Sunday.

CU tomorrow

Monday 28.09.2009 until Thursday 01.10.2009

Nothing special happened the last days.

It was the normal busy routine. No time and no points of interest for making pictures. The weather wasn´t such as nice as last week. Always grey and clouded, sometimes wet.

Today I had my appointment with the physical therapist and I took my camera with me. So afterwards I walked through the town and our public park, searching for the signs of autumn.

And here they are...

With a little wink to Ralf and Fabella "I used several times the M-setting of my camera and I made plenty of pictures" .... LOL



Lightning through colored leaves

Lonesome leave in town

That´s all for today the business goes on.

Guitar lesson for the younger son after school, soccer training for both boys in the afternoon and parents' evening for me instead of my pilates course.

CU tomorrow
