Happy New year

julchen11 — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 13:24:29 GMT

Hello my dear friends.
First of all I won't miss wishing you a very happy and joyful new year.
And I want to apologise that I wasn't here for a much too long time.
My account was hacked several times but finally it seems to work again.maby things happened the last year but we're all healthy and I hope 2026 will be good to us.
Days were running fast, work took over, my mother-in-law, my husband have been very ill but now they are both feeling much better. I have to work until the end of June and then I will be free!!! I will retire after 49 years running a full time job and I'm so looking forward to it.
I thought of you a lot and knowing you around kept me going. Tomorrow I'll open my Christmas cards so it will be Christmas Eve for me again.
And now enjoy the first day of the year, be sure I'll try to be here as often as I can.

Lots of 💕 and biggest hugs
Judith

goodness I'm sooo late

Happy New Year to you all ,my dear dear friends!
The new year has begun wonderfully. Mr. wolfi and I tried several cocktails on New Year's Eve ... after a while I just couldn't say which one was the best.
So we started again, LOL. Yesterday was very VERY quiet ... I could hold a book, that was it.
I hope you all had a wonderful start as well. I don't need the year be perfect just beautiful.

And now, let's have a little music, hope you'll enjoy!
Love you all to bits and pieces!!!

See you ,my friends.

Good morning my lovelies

julchen11 — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:41:31 GMT

I hope you had a restful night and having a great start into the new day.
Today at work it's quiet still, there's only a telephone conference to complete but this will be easy.

Here's my song of the day for you.
It touched me, it really really touched me.

Happy Wednesday!

Love & hugs,
Judith

Still alive...

julchen11 — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 07:35:40 GMT

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening ...
Life was very hectic the past weeks (but I wasn't ;-)) but now everything seems to slow down.
Time of a little post . Christmas is close. I will decorate the Christmas tree tonight - got new ornaments in summer - I'm so looking forward to it.
To get you in a Christmas mood here are my favourite Christmas songs - hope you'll enjoy!

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

Much love & many many hugs,
Judith

Hello my dears,

julchen11 — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 11:53:33 GMT

it's been a while. There was much going on here but now everything ist just fine again.
Yesterday I had to say good bye to my Zausel, she got a virus and she had no change. But now my little baby
is sitting beside my father together with all my other cats who passed the rainbow bridge. That's a wonderful thought and makes everything a little easier to bear.

Mr.Wolfi had to stay in hospital for a while because of a little heart attack but now he's on the mend.
MIL - just the same.

I am healthy, safe and feeling pretty good.

Weekend is close - oh, before I forget - I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great week so for.
I'm on my way to the garden, there are few things to do but I'll be finishing everything this afternoon.
It smells like spring today, that's a good thing. It's foggy (I love this), slightly raining (I loooove rain)and quiet.

I've found this for you, hope you enjoy!
Happy weekend, my dear! See you soon, hopefully!

Love & hugs,
Judith

Happy Caturday!

julchen11 — Sat, 29 Oct 2022 11:18:20 GMT

Hello my dears,
it's been far too long I've been here.
Vacation war over last week - it was very relaxing, Mr. wolfi and I caught a massive cold so much me-time for reading and sleeping. But now everything is just fine.
Today I have to clean the rooms (I started at 6 a.m. and I'm halfway through) but with good music everything is much easier.

How are you doing? I hope you are all healthy and safe and I missed you DEARLY!

What am I Listening to today?
To this young Irish man, his voice blew me away... how to discribei t - soft thunder maybe...
it's a one man show and it's incredible.
Give it a try you will be surprised

Happy weekend to all of you!

Love & hugs,
Judith

Happy Caturday!

julchen11 — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 16:44:00 GMT

Hello my dears,

how are you today?
I've caught a cold (after the flue shot) ... so there's time for reading and watching video clips on youtube.
I've found this and I can't stop smiling (the people in the background can't stop smiling as well)
... I'm sure you'll like this,too. And it's all improvised, amazing...

Have a great weekend, my dears!

Love & hugs,
Judith

Hello my dears,

song of the morning

julchen11 — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 08:20:05 GMT

Good morning my lovelies,
I hope you are all feeling good, you are healthy and safe.

Happy Sunday

julchen11 — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 10:43:51 GMT

It's raining wonderfully, time for reading, couch and coffee.and poetry.
I've found this in a notebook of 2006.

FRODO'S SHIRT
a finger stroked the sleeve of the once soft shirt.
The worn material reflects the trials that were inflicted onto the small body that lies buried somewhere in its folds.
Scars of travel,
Of frequent falls leave their mark
On the shirt.

A small body shivers through the thin fabric
For there's very little left of cloth
To warm his skin.

Still long miles to go to reach the thread

It had been whole once,
Now it was torn.
The fabric of cloth split,
As was the fabric of life.

And Sam didn't know if he could
Remember how...
To sew

Have a wonderful day, my dears.

Love &hugs,
Judith

Hello my dears,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Here we worked many hours in our garden and it was lovely. Yesterday it started raining again but it's ok.
So there was much time for reading and cooking and music.

This is a song I love in years and I don't know what it is that this song touches me so...
the song ist called "Ad occhi chiusi" - with eyes closed... and I really really love the melody and the lyrics...
and I've found a lovely video on youtube...

here are some pictures I've picked this morning talking about reading and writing...

Love & hugs,
Judith

julchen11 — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 10:59:47 GMT

Hello my dears,
how are you today ?
Mr. Wolfi and I just finished watering the garden, cleaned the pond, had breakfast and now - time for relaxing and reading.
What are you reading right now? I will start reading "The Chronicle of Magnus Bane" - a gift from me to myself :-)
So - garden chair in the shadow feels comfy and great. Hope you're doing all very well, stay healthy and safe!

Topic for today will be "chairs" - I have to admit looking at some of them I can't help asking myself "why do they exist..."

Have a wonderful Sunday, my friends.

Love & hugs,
Judith

Happy Friday!
