Nimavenl - Nicole's Random Ramblings

GTST Cast Foto voor seizoen 25 (2014 - 2015) Bron: RTL / GTST Al de pastelkleurtjes zijn zeker een contrast met de foto van vorig jaar waar bijna alles zwart/wit was. Ben ik gek om te zeggen (schrijven) dat deze foto een beetje een  "kom onze mooie, vrolijke, zomerse kleren in mooie pastelkleuren kopen" vibe heeft? Morgen de eerste echte nieuwe aflevering... Kom maar op !!!!!!!

Wait, how do I spell that again... Is it grey or gray? Cloud in amazing shades of white, light and grey Nimavenl Photography on Facebook That's exactly what went through my head earlier as I posted several photos to my Facebook page. Google directed me to an amazing page which explains that 'grey' is the British spelling, while 'gray' is the American way of spelling the word. As I spell words like colour and favourite the British way (as is common in New Zealand), I decided to go with the British spelling here as well. Want to remember whether you want to write grey or gray, use this memory booster from the website How do you spell the color Grey or Gray? Which is correct, "grey" or "gray" spelling? : Grey with an E is English Gray with an A is American Other words with varying spelling in British and American English the website lists are for instance centre and center, theatre and theater, colour and color, doughnut and donut, aer...

Book of Psalms: With an Interlinear Translation by Menachem Davis My rating: 5 of 5 stars I very much enjoyed reading the Psalms and working on my (very basic) Hebrew at the same time. While reading left-to-right English from right to left can be confusing, I have to admit that the directional arrows helped me adjust easily, just as the introduction promised. The interlinear translation makes the Hebrew easy to connect with while ensuring that the English-language sentences make sense to the eye and the mind. View all my reviews

I'm so excited !!!!!!! Series 8 of Doctor Who is coming to television in less than two weeks !!!

Deep Breath will air on the BBC on Saturday 23/08. Less than two weeks left to wait !!!

Posts are reappearing on my blog! Finally! 'Coz I've missed blogging! It's been a few months since I took all my blog-posts offline. I wanted to re-evaluate my online presence, to re-think what information I present to others online and to go over all posts with a fine tooth-comb. As I work through more blog posts I'll put more back online and hopefully get writing on some new ones too!

Dear Readers, Blog posts have temporarily disappeared while I work out what will happen with this blog. Thank you for your patience.

Very interesting video :-)

While browsing the web today looking for location names (not) to use for a story I'm writing, I came across the following bit of info on Wikipedia . How totally cool is this! "Since 2009, the names of planets from the Dune novels have been adopted for the real-world nomenclature of plains (planitia) and other features on Saturn's moon Titan. To date, Arrakis, Chusuk, and Sikun have been used."

Ladybug on a Leaf by Nimavenl Photography The world is changing once more as it does every year. Green leaves are slowly starting to turn yellow, orange, red and brown. The flowers, sunshine and blue skies of summer give way to the grey skies and golden colours of autumn. Not long now before we turn the heating back on and get our winter coats out from storage. Yellow Sprig by Nimavenl Photography I love the cold purity of winter snow, the new beginnings of spring and the warm weather of summer. However what I love even more are the amazing colours of autumn and the way the world seems to farewell summer and the warm weather in slow stages of colourful changes. If only winter didn't follow autumn, it would be my favourite season! ;-)

I like to think that I try to be honest, realistic and open-minded. I try to see everyone's point-of-view, try to understand why someone says or does something. Sometimes, what I see makes complete sense to me. At other times I simply don't understand it, not at all. When  trying to learn from other people, I try to put myself in their shoes and learn from walking a different path than I normally would when wearing my own shoes. Sometimes, the shoes fit very well and walking around in them is a joy. Sometimes, the shoes barely fit and I need to really work at walking in them without falling over. What matters however is that no matter how impossible it seems to get into someone else's shoes and make walking around in them work; I still try. No matter how many times I trip or fall or bump my little toe, I keep trying until I figure out how to stay standing. Walking may not be easy, running may be impossible, however standing and taking a few small steps - I will keep goi...

I am not usually one who 'gushes' about clothing, shoes or handbags. They are not usually things I care enough about to want to write about. As long as I dress 'appropriately', others are happy and as long as I dress comfortably, I'm happy. These amazing boots however I simply * have to * gush about. How super cute, extremely comfortable looking and totally stylish are they?! Loving them! Rocket Dog Rachel Boot   (see more laced up boots )

As part of my recovery from surgery, I've been daydreaming a lot about happier times to come. It is now six weeks since surgery and while I am by no means all better again (far from it, sadly), I am definitely noticing a lot of improvements in how I'm doing emotionally, mentally and physically. Daydreaming is one thing that keeps me going even when I'm sore or feeling depressed or wondering if my leg will ever get better. One thing I am daydreaming about is our next holiday. While it looks like that holiday will be months away yet, I am enjoying dreaming about where I want to go and what we'll do there. We've both been to France several times and would like to go again. I've been to Euro Disney and to Normandy so would like to see a different part of France next. As I love the sea and am looking forward to enjoying swimming and sunshine, my vote goes to the south-east of France. The French Riviera aka the part of France that borders the Mediterranean Sea...

Na de update die de SpringLevend app vandaag gekregen heeft is er bekend wie de sprong overleefd heeft en wie niet. Ik vind het erg jammer dat er vrijdag avond al bekend werd wie de sprong niet zou overleven na het eerste GTST Live evenement. Nu ook de eerste aflevering van het nieuwe seizoen via de app bekend is, blijkt het definitief te zijn. Degene die de sprong niet heeft overleefd is...
