Thanks to Patty from VanillaMist I’ve found a couple of interesting looking memes that I might participate in now and then…
So here are my first answers to Saturday Senses:
[sight]:: cloudy skies
The view from my room on a summer evening, the sun going slowly down, coloring the sky in warm colors, with clouds like an impressionistic painting.
[taste]:: hot chocolate
A cold winter’s day, outside in the mountains, taking a break from skiing. My hands wrap around the hot cup and I take the first smell of chocolate before taking a spoon and slowly starting to eat liquid warmth and comfort as if it was soup.
[smell]:: baking cookies
My mom sometime before Christmas. She’s making her almond cookies with my grandmother’s recipe, making sure there are enough to last until my birthday, 12 days after Christmas.
[touch]:: being wrapped in a blanket
Sitting in front of the fireplace, watching the flames and talking comfortably, feeling very relaxed and at home.
[hearing]:: rain outside
Waking up in a summer night to hear the rain pound against my window, making it rattle and shake while I’m in my comfortable bed. Getting up to open the blinds a bit to allow cool, fresh air to enter my room.
And here are my first Unconscious Mutterings:
- Wizard of Oz:: Kansas
- Ford:: the yellow car my dad owned and that we used to drive to our summer vacation with, when I was little all the way from Northern Germany to Switzerland
- Wrinkles:: the lines on my dad’s forehead and around my mother’s eyes
- Extravagant:: expensive
- Conventional:: is usually underrated
- Stewart:: the Steelso
- Offensive:: aggressive people
- Heartbeat:: reassurance
- Chaos:: my book shelves
- Jiffy:: Oi, sometimes I notice that I’m not English…
This was fun! Think I’ll definitely do this again!
