| Sarah's view |
During our family chat on WhatsApp yesterday morning, Sarah sent a photo from Sydney. It was sunset and this was the view from her balcony.
The conversation then became a bit silly with all of us (including Rick and Buddy) sending shots of what we were looking at right at that moment.

What are you looking at right now?
My laptop. Otherwise, Lady Magnon wearing a grey beret, and lounging on her sofa speaking with our son in Amsterdam. Similar ball under similar table; all dog owners have them.
ReplyDeleteMost dogs seem particularly fond of yellow tennis balls. Rick has indoor ones and outdoors ones.
DeleteSo does Inca !!
DeleteI looked at the nightly Briefing with my laptop on my lap and answered some comments. I am currently looking at Escape to the Chateau DIY (just for a change).
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to those Chateau programmes. I wonder how some of them are going to cope this year with no wedding bookings.
DeleteMe too. I would say that almost all of them will go under. I imagine Angel and Dick will be ok because they have other strings to their bow but who knows abnout the French chateau dream even for them.
DeleteWe watched some of that programme too. We were wondering why there are no English buyers of Chateaux who have the means to live without weddings, antique shows, or simple lets. It's the same with buyers of ordinary houses; they all want to make money from them.
DeleteIt's one thing buying a chateau but I really think some people underestimate the amount of work and high costs of maintaining one. Their dreams soon turn into nightmares.
DeleteAnd their knowledge of practical matters is laughable. Several of the ones featured in the most recent series have poured their life savings in before they start any work and then they play around with construction and renovation; talk about naivity. One lot the other night made me wonder whether the place would ever be safe to stay in.
DeleteIt does make good television viewing though!
DeleteMy computer screen and reading everybody's comments and trying to spread it out as much as possible as nothing of note has happened today to write about. Buddy's view takes some beating!
ReplyDeleteIt's not the most elegant of poses!
DeleteMy neighbour's forsythia bush just coming in to bloom. It's right opposite my office window,
ReplyDeleteForsythia is such a cheerful shrub, ours is just finishing.
DeleteI am looking at the laptop screen in order to read your blogpost but if I look to my right there is a can of "Perlenbacher Pils" which until very recently was cooling in our refrigerator. And if I raise my head above the laptop there's "Democracy Now" on the TV. Guess what they are talking about?...Yeah, you got it.
ReplyDeleteCareful you don't spill that can over your keyboard.
DeleteMe too, I enjoy watching the Chateau programmes, and have wondered how they are all going to survive this year. Some of them have taken on such huge financial investments, and there seem to be so many of them now.
ReplyDeleteIf I look above the computer screen there's a blank white wall - very boring but keeps me focussed on the matter in hand!
Surely that's not Buddy's best feature!
I don't suppose we will ever find out what happens to them all, I guess filming will be suspended for a very long time.
DeleteAs well as the computer screen I can see to the left my array of house plants. ...about 25 pots of various shapes and colours. 3 orchids in flower and a pink streptocarpus. ( Cape Primrose). The dog's bed is there on the floor below them. ( Dog is in the garden at the moment)
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of house plants, I bet they look lovely.
