A peace offering…
… to all my impatient readers:
A few photos of a recent sunrise:
the sunrise of…
… last week’s Sunday
A word to the wise: Never, ever get a bathroom that faces east.
Or west for that matter, I suppose.
Or anywhere that might turn out to be a good subject for a photo.
Let’s just say things were quite urgent by the time I was done with running to fetch the cam and shooting photos. 
February 22nd, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Aha! She lives!
Lovely pictures. And I do appreciate your *cough* effort in taking them for us.
You’ve been crawling around the garden already?! We just got more snow. It looks like the middle of winter! Oh, wait, it is the middle of winter.
Well, I intend to ignore the 25 things thingy.
Sure, sure, take a stand right away.
*looks over shoulder* Why do I feel so trapped?
But, you know, you’ve been blogging for a while now and I bet I could come up with 25 random things about you. Number 1 being that you are an excellent photographer.
Looking forward to a new post.

nice photos, I will think of your advice
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Ooh.Pretty.Frosty.
So, the up-date on Mel-land is “The sun continues to rise here”.
Actually,that could sound quite philosophical .
And its spring! Its rising earlier again!I was gonna wither and die if winter went on any longer.
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:41 pm
btw is that your car!?? WANT
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
@ MixMax: You should really heed that advice, hhhm-hm.
@ Lelly: Hehe.
Yeah, ’s indeed time for spring.
You shallow girl! It’s the neighbour’s car.
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Yay, a new post. With pics!
Well done, Sis!
Yes, it’s me, Mafdet. But I don’t want to be Mafdet anymore, so I’ve copied all my old posts and all your comments into my new blog.
The old one will get deleted soon.
So you might want to change the link. *hint, hint*

Nice sunrise!
What car? Where is there a car?
February 24th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I love the top distorted sunrise.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
@David: There really is a car in the second pic.
I had to click on it again to find it, though. The first time I looked at the pics I was admiring the colours in the sky, not looking for boring cars on the ground.

Oh, and by the way @Mel: the Maffy-page is gone now. I’ve deleted it a few minutes ago.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
@ Nasty Kitten: So many aliases; who’s supposed to be able to follow them all….
@ David: What car? Where is there a car?
My first thought exactly.
While taking the photos and later choosing the best 2 of the batch and resizing them and whatnot, all I could see was the sunrise.
Which kind of was the point of the photos anyway.
But Lelly spots the totally unimportant car that the neighbours’ son drives in picture 2.
@ Niklas: The distortion is why I had to take those pictures.
@ Nasty Kitten: Meh, faster than me.
And is there an echo in here…?
February 24th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Gnaaaaah! When several minutes went by and my comment hadn’t yet appeared and the site was loading and loading and loading […] I clicked “stop” and added a bit to to my comment.
And now there a two comments on your site.
Please delete this one and the first, leave the one in the middle.
…or don’t delete anything so everybody can have a good laugh… hrmbgrmbl
February 24th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Hrmpf.
echo… echo… echo…
February 24th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Mwahahahaha.
Anyway, your old blog still seems to be there….
February 24th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
That’s strange. I’ve deleted the account, and if I try to open it I get an error message.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
I keep refreshing the page, and am still seeing it…. till now.
Now it’s gone.
Speaking of deleted blogs, your hubby deleted his chess blog.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
By the way… How do you like the look of my new blog? And my avatar? Not quite as disturbing as that staring eye, I think.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
He did? Without telling me? Hrm….
He didn’t use it anyway, but still…
February 24th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Your sheep chews too loudly.
Avatar….. hhhhm. *stares at ceiling*
He has seeeeeecrets……………
*sways in time to “La chasse gallery”*
*has ear ache, but not in her bad ear, so hopefully it’ll pass*
February 24th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Don’t say anything against my sheep.
So, you don’t like my avatar? My very stylish avatar which I painted myself??
Hm… should I be worried?
February 24th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Worried, why?
February 24th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Btw, I edited the comment before your comment…
February 24th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Worried because my hubby has secrets.
Earache? Poor Sis! Patpatpatpatpat!
February 24th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Hhhhhm, dunno.
Yeah, poor me.
*sways in time to “Paysans sans peur”* (which is a very odd song, and hard to sway to)
February 24th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Hm… strange… French music…?
February 24th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
*sways in time to “La danse des damnés”*
Malicorne!!!!!!
February 24th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Ah.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Can I shoot your T-net box?
February 24th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Certainly.
February 24th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Yay!
February 24th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
*pushes T-net box gently from behind*
Go, boxie, go to Melly…
February 24th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Mwahahahahaha….
*sharpens sword*
February 24th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I thought you wanted to shoot the box, not stab it?
February 24th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
^LOL
But Lelly spots the totally unimportant car that the neighbours’ son drives in picture 2.
I’m just observant.
Also I was suprised cos I didn’t have you down as a speed freak.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Ok, I can sort of see the car now. It looks vaguely like a Porsche 911. My favorite Porsche is the 928.
February 27th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Boobies!
February 27th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I will race mellies neighbor in my monte!
March 1st, 2009 at 6:44 pm
I see the sunrise
Thank you and it was the later
Oh and it’s a beautiful sunrise whether from the bathroom or from the roof.
Thanks for sharing
March 3rd, 2009 at 4:03 am
What boobies? Where are the boobies?
March 3rd, 2009 at 10:42 pm
@ Nasty Kitten: Stabbing, shooting, who cares?
@ Lelly: Observant? A car freak, more like.
@ David: I have no clue what type of car it is exactly, and I really don’t care.
@ Brab: Medication. Now.
Come on over here then, maybe he’ll even agree to a race.
@ Attawie: Hope to see you here again soon. Still no clue what’s causing the problems with the site.
@ David: Never mind Brab. If I had a Euro for every time he randomly says “boobies” I’d be one very rich lady…
March 4th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Boobies imo!
March 8th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Ahhhhh, now I see the car. Looks kind of sporty.
As I was enlarging the pic to look for the car I noticed the flat roof on what appears to be a garage. You must not have problems with large amounts of snow. Or you have very well built roofs.
Have you gotten into solar panels on roofs? Or is the climate not conducive to that? We seem to be gearing up to use more wind power here. Or are trying to, anyway. With the economy dropping off a cliff right now, I’m not sure what is still in the works. I know Obama has some grand “green” stimulus idea, so maybe that will speed up that kind of thing. *shrug*
March 12th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
srsly. How can people not spot fun car in picture? tsk tsk tsk.
I’m not a car freak, I have no idea what kind of car that is. I just like going fast.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
How about a daylight photo of the car so we can figure out what it is?
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:33 pm
*steps into your blog, looks around*
Hmmmm… no new posts yet…
*taps foot impatiently, slouches off*
April 6th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Happy Birthday to you,

What?
Did she run off and get married or something?
May 3rd, 2009 at 5:20 am
Any vegetables growing yet? Flowers on cactuses? Stories of annoying customers?
May 4th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
@ all: Thanks for the Easter and birthday wishes.
Posting will commence soon….
…. I hope….
May 9th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
She’s alive!
Posting will commence soon….
Yeah, yeah, right, that’s what they all say.
*whispers softly*
She’s just saying that so we won’t decide to spam her…

I think you’ve solved the car mystery! Which I realise I unintentionally started -sorry bout that all.
That looks like it.
Although it looks better frosted in Mel’s picture…I don’t much like the colour.
*cough*newpostmelleh*coughcough*
May 13th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Sooo, Anarki surfaces here ostensibly to wish Mel a Happy Birthday.
But which of his comments is in capital letters?
Hmmm?
*looks at Anarki suspiciously*
Argh. moved flats.
I hate moving.
no time to blog or even go to training.
That makes it even worse.

Are you sure that car is a Mercedes? I could have sworn it was a Porsche.
Come on Mel, you live next door to the car. So, what is it? Inquiring men want to know.
May 15th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

I’m quite interested. As a woman.

My apologies lelly. I should have said that inquiring gender non-specific individuals would like to know.
May 20th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Die Fotos sind wunderbar!! Wir haben eine rote Sonne in Irak, und es ist gut aussehend, aber ich bin nicht gut mit dem Fotos…oder das Computer und so weiter. :S
Revising german, and i thought it’d be cool to actually *use* something i’d learnt for once.
*retreats back into cave before the revision police (attawie) finds me*

Hi!
