In case you're bored as hell you can try out Dreamscope, another app to edit pictures to make them look more surreal.

Ice Cream & Ducklings

It might sound as if I'm currently super-active and spend my days outside - but no, not really. Since Friday I've finished one book, watched one movie and a few Ghost Adventures episodes as well as Trash-TV in the evenings. And yesterday I went on a short morning walk up the hill. The view was spiffing so I decided to take some pictures.

But today I wanted to be really lazy. Just Ghost Adventures, a nap, next book, another nap,... But my grandma texted me to ask whether my little sister and I wanted to go for an ice cream. Well, who wouldn't?? We're talking about ice cream!

Now I'm fat. It didn't only stay with ice cream.

Ducklings!!!!

Some Pictures I Took Today

 

 

Photos: Afternoon at the River

 

 

 

Are. You. Kidding. Me. ?!!

Last Saturday when I put the SD card with my London pics in my laptop it turned out that all the pictures were gone; the computer guy I gave the card to afterwards confirmed that for some unknown reason the card was as good as new - not even the slightest trace that it has ever been used in the first place.

I don't know anything about computers and stuff like that apart from how to turn them on and off, but thought that maybe the card broke or something. Can happen. Still weird.

I then luckily saved my few remaining pictures on a separate USB stick, because when I turned on my laptop yesterday ALL THE REMAINING PICTURES WERE GONE. They were in a folder on my desktop - the folder was still there, all the other pictures and files on my computer were still there - but my London pictures had completely vanished.

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!!!

Now I'm scared that I might come home from uni to find that all the pictures on my wall have vanished, too!

Mourning the Pictures

I had a special SD card just for my London pics and I took care of it as well as possible - just to find out yesterday that it wasn't working anymore. Tried every camera and every PC but they all said I had to format it, until my laptop decided to just start the formatting.

Now all of my more than 600 London photos are gone. Been crying for hours now. 

Holiday-Feelings

Had a great afternoon with my former classmate yesterday. It was sunny and warm so we went to a near river and Andy thought it would be a good idea to try to get to the little island in the middle of the river. Problem: the water was colder than expected, the current was stronger than expected and the water was deeper than expected. But we somehow made it without drowning. And without bathing my camera.

Only one thing was not cool - afterwards I looked like the bottom of a baboon. Ouch.
