FUN MONDAY - RAK



This week Little Mouse wants to know at least one RAK : Tell us anything you want, what you did, why you did it, if it was done in secret, how it made you feel, or anything else.

I find this question rather difficult. First of all I didn't know what a RAK is and thought maybe there is a writing error and it should be RAG. But this wasn't possible either because the definitions of "rag" in my dictionary didn't fit at all the question. Finally I got the explanation that I should talk or describe an act of kindness I did !

I really don't know. What is an act of kindness ? Saying "good morning" to my postman, neibours or any person I meet in the morning ? Or letting a person with only two articles passing first at the cashier ? Stopping to let people crossing the street ? To me this is not kind but only polite.

My friend (and neighbour) was sick the whole week, so I did her shopping and looked after her. Is that kind ? I think it is rather normal, because she would do the same for me.

Conclusion I am not a kind but a normal person and even that would be contested by Mr. G.

WEEKLY WINNERS


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

This time it was quiet difficult to find some weekly winners as I had the choice between a grey world outside or my five cats inside. I doubt that Mr. G. wanted to be a weekly winner.

I remembered the beautiful Indian shop I had discovered in Waterloo and decided to go back



Even the sun found it a good idea and came out. Here is the insignificant entrance. But then I discovered quiet a lot of beauty from another world.



I don't know the name of this god but found the statue amazing



the same with this one all in alabaster and gold painting



a necklace



the beautiful painted elephant



a box



a Rickshaw to be carried around



a column



another elephant



and these holy cows.

This very big shop with two floors was crowded on this saturday morning. I bought an adorable little goose for our bathroom.
