Hello lovely peeps,
It's Friday Smiles where we share the smiles and silver linings we have experienced this week. My week has been excellent. Lots of smiles, although I must confess I usually forget to take pictures.
Let me start with my postcard for this Friday:
It comes of course from Bremen. In the right hand corner there is a small map of Germany where you can see where Bremen is on the map.
Bremen is an interesting city. It is a Hanseatic city A centuries old trade agreement. Click on the link if you want to know more. In modern times it means (for me at least) that the car number plates of Bremen inhabitants have HB on them (Hansestadt Bremen).
Bottom left you see some farm animals on top of each other. They are called the Town musicians of Bremen. It tells the story of four ageing domestic animals, who after a lifetime of hard work are neglected and mistreated by their former masters. Eventually, they decide to run away and become town musicians in the city of Bremen. Contrary to the story's title the characters never arrive in Bremen, as they succeed in tricking and scaring off a band of robbers, capturing their spoils, and moving into their house. Full story here.
The stamps on the card are very cute:
The large stamp shows baby raccoons. And the smaller stamp is clearly labelled 'phlox'.
What have I been up to?
I've been busy in the kitchen and this week I managed for the first time to make a traditional Spanish tortilla! I made it in the pan and successfully flipped it too. I got the thumbs up from my Spanish friends.
The local photoclub, of which I am a member, organised an exhibition in the little hermitage in the village:
Someone took my picture as I was looking at the photos:
Then the local priest came to officially 'open' the exhibition. Here he is (with blue scarf and leather jacket) with the photoclub members:
That is all from me. I have some funnies though for you at the end.
Enjoy your weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca
