TT #46: random things

Thirteen random things I have no idea what theme to choose for this week, so I'm doing a random TT! In this post DK Raymer introduced me to the oldest blogger in the world: Olive Riley from Australia, who is... 107 years old! A remarkable woman, as you can see in this You Tube video. I added her blob (as she calls her blog) to my reader. I want to keep track of her! I have ordered a wonderful Freya statue. I found it on Marktplaats, a second hand selling website. The statue is new though and comes from Mystery Gifts, a store in Groningen I'd love to visit. I can hardly wait until the statue arrives! The coming weekend I'll have a two-day workshop with Marian Green in Amsterdam, this time with a little private group about divination and past life. I'll post about it afterwards of course. The first workshop I did with Marian was in November 2006. What's wrong with Photobucket?? Everytime I use it these days, I get bugged by pop-ups to register or log-in, that make Internet Explorer go crazy and in the end shut down. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I'm a cat-blog fan. I read a lot of them and I love it, especially the pics and videos. For example yesterday I found this splendid picture of Daisy the Curly Cat on her blog and this video & photo of Dragonheart while bird watching. Just a few examples of the joy of visiting cat blogs. :-) Holland is known as the land of flowers. Since May this year we even have stamps with real flower seeds! They are beautiful and have tips on the side. Look here (sorry, text is Dutch). Last Friday it was exactly one year ago that I went to my first Robbie Williams concert. It was fabulous! I haven't seen or heard enough Robbie lately, I really need to get a DVD in the player right now! Wonder is still over here at our home to recuperate from his fall down the stairs. His back is a bit better, but he can't do much. Some days ago he got Tramadol, but that did him no good: he was like a zombie, scary! I was quite worried, but he has other painkillers now and sleeps a lot. This is supposed to be midsummer, but the weather doesn't agree at all. It is cold, wet and windy. I don't want a heatwave either but warm, dry and sunny would be nice for a change! Wimbledon has started this week. My favourite tennis tournament! I don't have personal favourites at the moment so may the best player(s) win! The Tour de France will also start soon (July 7), although without Lance it's not the same. Did I tell you I love to watch sports? ;-) I'd love to go to the Concert for Diana. I don't have tickets though, but I'm trying to win them. :-) I've always been an admirer of Diana, so the cause is close to my heart. And the list of performing artists is interesting to say the least. Rumours are Robbie will join Take That on stage. We'll see... I'm currently reading Rises The Night, the second book of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles by Colleen Gleason. I loved the first book (The Rest Falls Away), but the second is even better! I'm still looking for something to give as a handfasting present. Any ideas? Please let me know! Pfew, coming up with random things isn't as easy as expected, but I found 13 of them... ;-) ~*~*~*~ Links to other Thursday Thirteens! ~*~ Robin ~*~ Dewey ~*~ Mark Caldwell ~*~ Courtney ~*~ PussReboots ~*~ Crimson Wife ~*~ Alasandra ~*~ Sue ~*~ Toni ~*~ Wylie Kinson ~*~ Susan Helene ~*~ Ben Clapton ~*~ Cheryl ~*~ Colleen Gleason ~*~ Tilly Greene ~*~ Chelle Y. ~*~ Daisy ~*~ Gattina ~*~ Lene ~*~ Darla ~*~ Nancy Lindquist ~*~ MommyBa ~*~ Gabriella Hewitt ~*~ Lesley Speller ~*~ Samulli ~*~ Mo ~*~ JennieBoo ~*~ Chris ~*~ Starrlight ~*~ Rowena ~*~ SlipOfAGirl ~*~ Danielle ~*~ Lori ~*~ Julie ~*~ Titania Starlight ~*~ Thomas ~*~ Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
