I believe I will now make a break again. I’m a bit annoyed with my network connection, but there are also some other priorities the next couple of days. Before receiving family on Christmas Eve and visiting family on Christmas Day, I have still some final shopping to do (illustrated by the below pictures), some preparation of my flat, some…… , actually quite a lot.
I will try to be back with a post or two before the end of the year, but I take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas (God Jul, Hyvää Joulua, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten, 圣诞快乐, Buon Natale…)!!!
Also on behalf of Paloma who prepared the Christmas card!
Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteHave a good break and "Merry Christmas and a Happy NewYear" to you too!!
The same in DUTCH:
"Goede kerstdagen en een gelukkig Nieuwjaar",
I'll miss you the coming time on blog, but I might not blog as much as usual too, next week I might take off a few days...
I showed today a slideshow with photo's and music from, "the left behind and lost things" on the streets, right the opposite of rich Christmas, everybody seemed to have money enough these days... Just look and see if you like it, Bye see you and enjoy yourself:)
BTW thanks for visiting my blog, I always read all comments! :)
Enjoy the holiday with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI immediately KNEW it was Paloma when I saw the post. Tell her that I think she is a very gifted artist. Have yourself a very happy Christmas!!

Nedeleg Laouen Peter (c'est du breton ;-)) ! Ma connection est revenue, la tienne te donne quelques soucis, le net est inconstant ces temps-ci ! Je te souhaite de très belles fêtes, mais pour la bonne année je reviendrai !
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the last posts!
ReplyDeleteSorry for having taken so much time to come back here, but I will not tell you about my last weeks… The problem is that the coming ones don’t seem much nicer, at least up to January 14th, 2008…
But let’s forget all that; I wish you a merry Christmas and I’ll try to come back here to see the wonderful pictures and divert from less interesting tasks!
Have a great time
Gil
Sorry to have missed Lyliane's birthday... :((

ReplyDeleteThanks! I finished yesterday!
Adorable Paloma, elle est tout à fait prête à ouvrir un blog à présent. Je suis sûre qu'elle saura tout à fait passer plein de messages sans blablater (comme disit Napoléon : un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'une longue explication")
ReplyDeleteJe peux juger que tu es totalemnt coupé du net
1) Parce que tu as des obligations
2) Parce que tu n'as pas de connection
Pauvre Peter !!!!
Finalement, c'est lundi que je mets mon dernier message de l'année. J'ai fait tout ce que je devais faire hier, je suis contente.
Gros bisou et passe de bonne fêtes.
See you next year...
Peter, Happy Holidays to you and your family and hope you have a wonderful Christmas, full of Joy and Good wishes!
ReplyDeleteAlso, A Happy New Year to you !
Have a Merry Christmas, Peter, enjoy good food and drink, the company of people, the lazy moments of just being and the all that makes your Christmas a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! Well done, Paloma!
ReplyDeleteI wish to you and your family a HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
