12 of 12 - December

Today's blog post is in English because today is December 12 which means it is time for 12 of 12. It has been a nice and quiet Friday in December. I had breakfast with my mother and then we made a present for some friends. Our Friday mornings are a set tradition, I guees, and I really enjoy these mornings.

It's been a dark and dreary day so there seems to be a focus on lights in this 12 of 12 of mine. I have always loved Christmas lights and candles - they really catch my eye in the dark.

This 12 of 12 is dedicated to Chad, who came up with the idea of 12 of 12, and who needs good thoughts at the moment. Hope you get a clean bill of health soon, Chad!

The first pot of tea of the day.

Checking email - 2 unread and 326 read ones.
Ugh how I hate spam mail!

My fresh herbs in the kitchen window
- I love that there's room for them there.

The view from my office

Planning lunch for Saturday
- Holiday Baking might seem out of season ;o)

Downloading something to hear while cleaning
- this time I chose a Koontz' novel.


My parents' house
- new street lamps are being set up.

My mother has beautiful gardenroses
- love the scent of them.

Grocery shopping for Saturday's lunch.

The date.

Look at these beautiful purple bulbs
- and they say the city isn't beautiful?

A quick dinner watching soccer.
