Welcome to Litsy!

These are all pictures from the India Blooms orchid show at the Botanic Gardens. My daughter and I go every year and the theme is always something unique and fun. That‘s a peacock in the middle and lower left is an orchid that smells like chocolate! It‘s a magical respite from the cold and snow. A full day of joy!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone. Let‘s have love in our hearts all day ❤️🌹💝

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

A quiet week thanks to a public holiday on Thursday (May is full of public holidays here in Germany).

I should have added: a lovely cup of coffee and some Christmas biscuits (leftovers in a tightly closed tin) while sitting outside in the sunshine. 😜🙈

It's Friday. 🎉🎉 And someone has to make a start. 😉

I cleaned my honestly tiny balcony on Wednesday, because the cat wouldn't let me do #audioknitting. As soon as I was done, #GhostCat vanished into her tent (pic above) and I could play with my yarn and knitting pattern.

Thanks for tagging me @Chrissyreadit 🙂

1. Fluffy and funny chick lit that doesn‘t take too much mental energy to read! 📚
2. Can‘t pick just one! But silly comedies like Dumb and Dumber, Dodgeball, and Anchorman are faves. 🎥
3. I love streaming old faves like Parks and Recreation, The Golden Girls, and Frasier. 📺
4. Besides reading and writing, I don‘t really have any hobbies. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know many have been tagged already so if you want to play, consider yourself tagged! 🤗

1. Romance books or rereads.
2. Walking on Sunshine always puts me in a good mood.

4. Loom Knitting, Diamond Painting, Baking, Writing Stories

I made a little survey to share some ideas of what to read, watch, listen to this weekend.

1. David Eddings‘s Belgariad series and anything by Neil Gaiman or John Scalzi
2. The Trolls movie—it‘s upbeat & has great dance music (❤️ JT)
3. I just started listening to Ask The Bards podcast by Kevin Hearne and Delilah S. Dawson (https://www.askthebards.com)
4. Jigsaw puzzles! ❤️🧩

Tagging a few people to kick this off.

1. I love most Pixar films, but I have extra love for Wall-E. I was watching it while planning my wedding and it inspired me to choose La Vie En Rose for our first dance.
2. Yes, my first car was a stick, but it‘s been years since I drove one.
3. Cloud Atlas. One of my favorite books but it didn‘t translate well into film.
4. Going to my son‘s last soccer game of the season. Hopefully some reading and knitting.
5. Will do!
#friyayintro

1. I think Brave might be my favourite.
2. Of course I can drive a manual, I was born in the sixties. I prefer not to though as my left knee is rubbish.
3. The Dark is Rising was somehow turned into The Seeker: Christianised and abysmal.
4. I think the stars may have aligned and I can finally have a soapmaking session this weekend. They won't be quite cured by Xmas but I can always gift them with a Best After date.

#friyayintro

1. 5th grade
2. Computer Programming
3. two: 22 and 19

1. The name of this beer made me laugh, and I actually thought it tasted quite good, even though I generally don't like beer.
2. My favourite pun joke
Q: If you weigh a whale in a whale-weigh station, where do you weigh a pie?
A: Somewhere over the rainbow

Hope you're feeling better Jessica
