I Am Groot

Hello my dearies and welcome, once again, to the blurb of my life.

I've recently come to the realisation that I'm not very communicative. This is, considering I'm supposed to keep up the blogging, something of a problem. A busy summer, work problems, an annoyingly perky Mr Muse who likes to play peek-a-boo (which he probably learned from my goddaughter, the rascal)(or maybe he taught her, who knows), and me still struggling with the whole celiac thing do not add up to a particularly happy Tessa. A not so happy Tessa equals a Tessa who does not communicate well.

Hence, I Am Groot. Without the cool voice, or the green-thumb-superpowers (I have something of a black thumb, in fact - any plant given to me invariably dies, unless it happens to be basil. Basil likes me) (is there a basil-groot?).

Do you have your Groot moments, too?


ps. I only saw the movie today (it came out reaaaally late in my corner of the world) and LOVED it. If you haven't seen it yet, GO NOW!

IWSG...and yes, I still exist...

Hello my dearies!

YES, it's that time of the month again! 

(click HERE to get to the IWSG website)

I haven't been around in a while...and that's not just me being internet-lazy. The past two month I've mostly been on the road, first a week in the US (South Carolina) for a family wedding, then two weeks in Iceland for a road trip with a friend of mine, then another long weekend for another wedding in Germany, and before that almost a month in Spain.

And then I came back to over a thousand emails in my inbox and about that many papers on my desk, waiting to be sorted and organised.

Not much time for writing - not even my diary, which I'm usually quite good about. I meant to do a lot more (sound familiar? It certainly does to me...) but somehow other things happened... ah well.

BUT!!

But...

But...(I just realised that "but" actually looks quite ugly when you write it, doesn't it?) I've been having IDEAS!! Yes, IDEAS!!! As in, the plot bunnies have started hopping by again. Which makes Tessa a very happy girl!!! So for this particular IWSG post (and I missed the last one, sorry) I'm going to give you an inspiring photo from my Iceland trip (and I may post some more soon, it was just so beautiful over there!)...

ok so here's a second one... 

This is a hotel bar sitting area... the view is breathtaking (and bigger than you can see on the photo)
