befriending Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word – December
And just like that, She’s back!
Some of you might remember that this mini of mine fell into a hole a couple of weeks ago. For Christmas, I got a tiny parcel with her inside (or possibly a look-alike).
And because they come in sixpacks, I now also have five sets of twins:

The First Christmas Givers
This corner sculpture of the Three Wise Men or Three Kings from the Orient is found in Schwetzingen, on the first house in the Dreikönigstraße.
Season’s Greeting to You All!
I’ve been sick for well over a week and now that I’m better two of the grandkids are here visiting, so I am sending all of you my best wishes for the coming celebrations and the coming new year. Short and sweet.
The photo is from 1999 and was posted in a private facebook group, much to our surprise. Santa Claus came to the desert near Jubail in Saudi Arabia. I remember that there were updates about the approach of the sleigh with the reindeers, called down from the surrounding dunes at half hourly intervals.
Full of atmosphere, albeit unusual to us at the time.
Our sons are right next to Santa and just a face near the right border.
Have a wonderful time and watch out for each other.
In Mew of Cats
That’s Fritz. I was warned to stay well away from him. He is a mean, old farmyard tomcat. But I still think he’s beautiful.
That’s Louis and Charlie, both are natives of Saudi Arabia who have settled in Northwestern England.
I don’t know this kittie’s name, it was a chance encounter while I was out and about.
She’s just called Klara although I think she should be named something like Lady Klarabelle Chasseuse de Souris von Maushofen.
And the best comes at the end, of course. Henry – his mind and his eyes fixed on a singular purpose.

I’ve got the colours but not the species.
I’ve got the species but not the medium.
I’ve got the medium but not the colour.
We just like to hang out.

A wish I can wholeheartedly subscribe to – may we all stay safe and come out safe and sound at the other end.

A Tale of Two Nations
Having a passport of two different countries (not by choice, to be honest, but not sorry about the fact either), I offer two different collages: German and South African The Black, Red and Gold of Germany. The rainbow colours of South Africa. When it was … Continue reading A Tale of Two Nations
The Epitome of Relaxation
Cats are definitely the champions when it comes to relaxation. Anywhere, anytime …
I’ve shared a photo of this “potted cat” before. It had settled down in this old stone flower pot, next to the walk way on a busy street, completely relaxed and not bothered about the surrounding commotion.
Louis, on the other hand, had a whole living room to himself where he felt so secure that he could completely relax, without shame or decency:
