What occurred in my life this week
In Met Helga (beneath) for espresso on a sunny day. I’m so blessed with so many great buddies.
Below: Thinking it wouldn’t be that sizzling, I wore my black denims skirt. The white cowboy boots look nice with this skirt. Only after I took them off within the night, I noticed that the skirt rubbed off on my boots. I hope I can get them white once more.
I had taken my bike and that was not straightforward with a protracted pencil skirt. I’m afraid there was extra leg seen than I anticipated.
In the afternoon Ron and I had drinks with neighbours Els and Herman throughout the highway and Ron stated afterwards he thought this skirt was too revealing. Oops.
The subsequent day we went to the seaside and I utilized myself to my photograph project once more.

On a Monday Marcella was supposed to return spherical to our home when Ron requested me whether or not I needed to hitch him and canine Watson to the seaside once more. I stated sure, as I had completely forgotten about Marcella. When she referred to as me as we had been strolling to the ocean, I felt so ashamed. It doesn’t occur typically that I neglect an appointment or date however now that I’m retired, I don’t seek the advice of my agenda each day. We noticed one another the following day. Forgot to take a photograph.
Managed to create one other Photo Assignment in Series. This one is known as Sea. I’ll solely present you the collage because the photographs are nugatory. I realized that you simply can not take far-away photographs with an iPhone and anticipate them to be sharp. And I realized that having the lenses on the backside when you put your cellphone on the bottom, creates a great photograph (the one high left). That’s what this project is all about, proper? Learning.
