Hello everybody! It’s a fine hot day outside, 33°C/91°F, and I am siting in front of a laptop, writing this and eating ice-cream. Definitely better than going outside! This week’s theme is “YOUNG” (Children, Babies, Baby Animals, Things that are new,…)  and I chose a picture of a cute baby swan I took in the Netherlands in June 2014.IMG_64231.JPGThursdayChallenge

Hello everyone! I realised I haven’t done a Thursday Challenge in a while, but to be honest it is not the only thing I didn’t do lately. I’ve got a few tags/awards and other memes that need to be done ASAP and tomorrow I fly to Romania, so I’m not sure that next week will happen so much on this blog. (I’ll try to prepare a few posts though) But, to get back to this week’s Thursday Challenge, the theme is “BLACK” (Dark, Night, Shadows, Shade, Gloom,…). My choice was a set of photos of the Sun Eclipse on the 20.03.15. We put aluminium foil of windows so that we can look at it and I decided to take a few photos (actually I wasn’t the only one, more like the ENTIRE school came to the physics classes to see it)

This week’s theme is “MULTICOLOURED” (Kaleidoscopic, Rainbow, Clothes, Toys, Flowers, Paint,…) and I’m very happy to share this lovely picture I took in Clacton-on-Sea, UK on the 17th of July 2015.

This week’s theme is “STRAIGHT” (Lines, Roads, Power Lines, In a Row, Non-stop,…) and I chose this picture I’m deeply in love with. I felt very proud of myself when I saw how it turned out to be, considering that I never thought of myself of being a pro (I’m not saying that I’m a pro, but lucky to have taken a beautiful picture). It was taken in the Cologne Cathedral on the 25th of September 2014.IMG_0620

“Saturday 9” No°1 :: That’s What Friends Are For (1985)

Click on the image below for more information.



Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we’ve committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do “random questions,” so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don’t have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today’s meme!

Saturday 9: That’s What Friends Are For (1985)
Unfamiliar with this week’s tune? Hear it here.

1) This week’s song is performed by an all-star quartet: Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder. You have your choice: which of these four would you most like to see in concert? The answer would definitely be Elton John. In fact he is the only one I really know. Don’t be angry with me. I do listen a lot of ’60, ’70, and ’80 music, but I never came across Dionne Warwick or Gladys Knight (my parents might know them) and I know who Stevie Wonder is, but that’s mostly it, since I don’t listen to his music (never really wanted to, I don’t know why). So the answer was easy to give, though I would truly be grateful to go to one of Elton John’s concerts.

2) Dionne Warwick was Whitney Houston’s cousin. Name a Whitney Houston song. “I Will Always Love You”

3) Gladys Knight owns a chain of chicken and waffle restaurants around Atlanta. When you have waffles, what do you top them with? (Powdered sugar? Butter? Syrup? Fruit?) I love the ones they serve in our school’s canteen with Nutella.

4) Elton John has turned his bad eyesight into a hobby, claiming that over the years he has purchased well over than 200,000 pairs of glasses. Do you wear glasses? If so, how many prescription pairs do you own? No glasses. Although I do own 5 pairs of sunglasses that only differ in colour #HipsterLife IMG_1099 (2)

5) Stevie Wonder has a scar on his nose from a 1973 car crash. Have you ever been in a car accident? So I’ve been told by my parents, but I was 1 year old, so I cannot confirm it.

6) Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager were married when they wrote this. Do you know a husband and wife who work together? I do actually, three pairs in fact, all teachers at my school.

7) This song celebrates friendship through good times and bad. Tell us about a happy time you recently shared with someone close to you. I recently shared this picture with my best friend. And she went: “… girl, are those beavers? Or what kind of unearthly creatures have you found? And where? And how? And why?” So I had a fun time, sharing even more photos with her, although I could not tell her what animal it was. I only know I took the picture at the Cologne Zoo, but don’t remember the animal’s name. (If you know what is called, please let me know in a comment down bellow)IMG_9251

8) Now share a time when you were there for a friend through a tough time. Well, I should be there for her right now, but the 2000 km distance between us make it hard for me to do so. Since I moved to Germany in 2011 it wasn’t easy for me to be physically there for her, so I don’t really remember when it was the last time I was “really” there for her. (I hope she won’t hate me for that, but I do have a bad memory as well) Note: She told me it was last summer 👍

9) Random question: When is the last time you were out of breath? I almost chocked on food yesterday.

This week’s theme is”ELECTRIC” (Wires, Cables, Motors, Radios, Computers, Phones,…) and I have to admit it was hard for me to find a picture that fits the description. I wanted to post a picture I already had, since I have so many I want to share and finally I decided to post this picture. It was taken in Riga, Latvia on the 13th of September 2014.

This week’s theme is “TINY” (Small things, Short, Children, Animals, Insects,…) and this was the first picture I thought about choosing. I love this picture so much, because I remember how much I’ve tried to take a good shot of this tiny fellow. My father was doing some work in the garden and found some baby hedgehogs and called me immediately 😀 It was the first time I saw one and at first I was a little scared, but his cuteness won me over. I took this photo on the 6th of September 2014.IMG_9628(1)
