1. What most recently gave you goose bumps?
I have never gotten goosebumps; instead, I tend to jump into the air and scream. That’s exactly what happened yesterday when I was standing in the bathroom and suddenly one of our residents, who isn’t quite all there, appeared right next to me! Did I get a fright! And the funny thing is, she looks just like a little 12-year-old girl and smiles all the time. She is there with her husband who is very tall, and holds her hand all the time, otherwise she escapes ! But I believe he is not quite right in his head either !
2. What does Halloween look like in your home and/or neighborhood these days? Do you participate?
In my room I have nothing, but the whole castle is decorated for Halloween despite the works !
3. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, chia...your favorite seed on the list? What's something you like to make/eat that calls for one of these seeds in the recipe?
Halloween was not celebrated in Belgium or in other European countries, except Ireland, so I never ate something especially made for Halloween. It started to move in maybe 20 years ago, and not everywhere.
4. What's the most (or one of the most) 'fall photos' you've ever taken? Share it here. Just one.
5. Somehow we're rolling in to November next week. If your October were a chapter in a book, what would the title of this chapter be?
How does one learn to endure loud noise?
(our castle is being renovated )
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I’m slowly going crazy! They’re tearing out the parquet flooring above me, and it’s making a huge racket. Meanwhile, I’m waiting to get my new room and I’m already busy furnishing it, in my head, of course. Unfortunately I have to wait until February !
It must be hard living through all the renovation works. Hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteDear Ingrid, although I know that renovations are done to improve living conditions, the noise, dust and inconvenience they cause while they are being done is very unpleasant! I wish you good health and happiness, dear friend, and I thank you so much for sharing your life here! I am always happy to see your posts in my news feeder, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteRenovation is always tough to cope with. I hope the job is done sooner than predicted, although that seems rare. I love your fall photo!
ReplyDeleteI got goosebumps yesterday when the wind suddenly changed and blew cold through the flat. I shut both doors quick smart! I hope the renovations don't take too much longer.
ReplyDeleteOh dear to that lady giving you a fright.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can remember a time when Halloween wasn't a thing here in England, now each year it's getting bigger and bigger.
What a pretty view out of your window!
Ugh to the noise, I hope it is over soon.
Wow, I sure have missed being here since many weeks! SOmehow I forgot to check in and then I got all busy with work, and chores and tonight I suddenly remembered , what is going on with my namesake in Belgium? (we are both Ingrid) So I have read through all those missed posts. I enjoyed doing that, and now it's 415am and I need to get to my bed! m(I am a night owl on account of the hours of my work, which I still do even though ai am almost 72!)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got over your viral illness, and I hope you stay as well as you can for a long while. Sorry that the renovations are so very noisy. Our facility was renovated a year ago, and that too was quite disruptive, especially when they tore out the kitchen and we had to have food catered to us.
Rosie seems to be doing well, and I enjoyed seeing you with your friends and the new dog, Spirou.
You sure do have a lot of fun with the AI images you 'fix' or make. You walking on eggshells made me giggle! I use AI sometimes too, it is a great tool to be able to use.
Take care and I sure hope I won't forget to 'visit' you here.
Here are some hugs!

I am not sure how you are surviving all that noise? And Halloween is so commercial, and one of those traditions imported from America that I think we can do without here in the UK. Like Christmas, it is too wrapped up in spend, spend, spend. I love the seasonal views you have. That autumnal colour, despite meaning the winding down of the sun, is a rich tapestry. Better without the storms and rain, but we need the latter these days.
