I will never run a marathon (or even a half marathon) but I will keep supporting my foolish friends who think they need to it.

Alp yourself
On cannot feel but small when faced with the majesty of mountains. Here, the Arlberg in Austria.
And here the Berner Oberland in Switzerland. The red clad figure is hardly noticeable.
Re: The title – apologies to Groucho Marx who said “God alps those who alp themselves.”

The bee’s and other’s knees
Who has the more beautiful knees?
Peep knees.
Halftime show at a rugby game – no singers or dancers but men with rubber gloves down on their knees repairing the lawn.
A scene my husband tried to recreate at home.

Granny Smith Apple – Falafel
It’s not really the falafel that’s granny smith green. But this sign has me wondering: What’s the significance of the number? Vegetarian falafel since 1818!?!

Golden rod – mouse
It’s the mouse from “The Gruffalo”.

I’m a fan of hearts #2
As promised, the second installment of my hearts. This time upright or portrait-stlye.
A gingerbread heart which was made especially for me (I won’t tell you what the RA stands for).
Rainbow love on a sock.
A multicoloured ballon heart.
Somebody saying: “I have a heart for plants.”, or possibly: “Plants sold here.”
A sgraffito heart on a house front.
Wooden deco hearts. In a restaurant where the landlady has gone crazy with deco – this was the least busy window.
” … I don’t have a wooden heart.” – But the people living here obviously do.
Alternatively, you can carry your heart on your board.
Or carve it in stone.
Or scratch it on crayons. And light it.
Two more hearts form the light show, a reddish one and
a purple one.
And last not least, hearts flying up in the sky on the occasion of a wedding (another custom we should be wary of when we think of the environment.)

Hairy fairy
Forget incy-wincy, here comes hairy-fairy! Or possibly, crossy-bossy.
