I have been awarded .....!


....and it is now really high time to pass the awards on.

Just before the end of the year
I received this award....


from Debra

Acquired Objects   here



What an honor!  Thank you so much Debra!

*

Now, to accept this award I should list 5 things about myself, that others might not know;
but what can I say ???


1. I'm not a good writer and to be honest I actually don't really like writing.
It is not because I have no ideas,  it feels like a giant monster of a block
placing itself between me and my story, which is a plague sucking my creative energy.
Thanks god for the .....dots...... What would I do without them....:)


2. I'm hopeless with all the technical computer and web language,
Gadget, interface, html, URL, etc...  A "mine-field" for me, and it took months
for example, to find out how to copy-and-paste, create a link and to insert a video!!!
But I have to admit that I'm rather impatient...sometimes...with some things...

3. I like to act spontaneously
4. I love the animals, they hardly never argue or contradict me  :) :)
5. I would like to have sometimes a 30-hour-day or a 10-day-week or....
just more time to spend

****

The New Year.....




"The new year is looking kindly at me,
and I leave the old one with its sunshine and clouds
 quietly behind me"
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



And my resolutions for La Pouyette in 2012  ???

 

None! 

I'm with   Anaïs Nin  who said:

"I made no resolutions for the New Year.
The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning
and molding my life,
is too much of a daily event for me"

:)  :)  :)

I'll just try to make the best out of this year, keeping our simple life style,
starting each day with a laugh or two....

:) :) :)


Now....

 ...Oskar sends, from his prison cell,
a big New-Year-Purr
to all four-legged and two-legged blogger friends!

....purr-purr-purr....

He still has to live in 'prison' for another ????? weeks,
and - although his complicated-broken leg is improving
and the cell has  :) WC, dining area and a comfortable living/bedroom/space :) -
he is rather "muffig", not very amused!!!
But he's trying very hard to make the best out of it.



"Please, please...

...please, let me  out Mummy,

would love to run around, making decisions...


 ...whether to snuggle up in a nice armchair...


...or...


 ...having my daydreams on a stool or...

...just sitting on a stack of old linen, watching what you bumble about!"

*****


Hope that you all had a very good start to 2012!

A bientôt
