armchair traveling and a blast from the past
i'm sitting here enjoying my morning coffee and catching up on the internets. :) so far this morning i've been to indonesia, far north queensland, victoria, png, japan and tassie (tasmania). i love reading new posts from my blog friends. i've read my emails and caught up on the news. i have no plans for today. maybe some cleaning. i've been meaning to scrub the tiles in the wet areas for a while now. ahhh there goes the coffee machine. i'm descaling it as i type. i love my coffee machine madly but it's very, very needy. fill the tank, empty this, empty that. descaling is one of the many messages that pops up on the screen. i don't like that bit. it takes a while but really all i need to do is fill the tank and add the descaling stuff. the machine does the rest. this is a pic of my sister and me taken way back in the 60s. i think
it's my room coz the desk and typewriter are mine. there's posters on
the wall and a pic of my boyfriend, our next door neighbour, on the
bed. the dolls are my sister's. she had a thousand of them. i only
had two. one was named susanne but i can't remember the other one's
name. my mother was extremely houseproud and we weren't allowed to do
anything that would make a mess. the pram belonged to our cousin before
my sister got it and it was really old then. it would be worth a fortune
today. the walls were painted different pastel colours. yuk. it was
all the rage at the time. i scanned the photo from an old slide.

Interesting the colours of the walls.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to sit and read blogs when you have a few moments/hour or so.
It's a good way of learning is travelling in the Internet, and I am so pleased that I have that opportunity.
Descaling, oh my, I have to do that very soon to our coffee machine. I went off coffee for many years, and now I only like what comes out of my machine and I don't use it everyday, well not through summer/will in winter I expect.
Nice slide there. I only remember having one doll, and my parents could afford more but maybe I didn't show great interest in them, I can't remember to tell you the truth.
That's an ethically diverse doll collection. I love looking at old photos.
ReplyDeleteMe too old photos are fascinating. That sure is a doll collection.
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy a coffee machine because of the cleaning process...I once won an industrial coffee machine and gave it to a friend as a housewarming present as she a) wanted one and b) have a large family and they drank a lot of coffee.... compared to coffee for one and all the cleaning that would have been involved. The good old percolator suits me fine :-)
