On my last visit to my "junk" shop, I found this bird couple and thought it would be a nice decoration for our guest bathroom.



they are of porcelain and only costed 5 € ($ 6.80) and they are sitting on a shelf now



I also had bought for this bathroom, this metal shelf for beauty stuff and towles but unfortunately I can't fix it properly and it only holds light things. That's why I bought this duck in "my" Indian shop. It looks nice on the unic colored walls.



and finally again in my "junk" shop I saw this little tea pot for only 5 € and thought I could use it as a vase because inside it doesn't look very nice to make tea in it. The pebble besides I painted into cats a few years ago.

THURSDAY THIRTEEN

13 points why I don't like "smart" phones

1. Internet access for browsing, uploading content, and sending and receiving emails on this tiny screen ? I would need a magnifier !

3. Watching TV ! I just Imagine watching a football (soccer) game on my mobile I probably would only see a bunch of fleas running behind a point.

5. Listen to music ? I don't like earplugs

6. Taking pictures and making videos ? Maybe but not really necessary

7. Because I can't use it as remote control to open my garage door,

8. It doesn't even have a weather station and cannot be used as a thermometer. At least I would know if it is cold or hot and not forget the ombrella

9. Because I can't use it as a remote control for the percolator (from my bed when I wake up)

10. Because I can't use it as a comb for my hair

11. Because I can't use it as a tooth brush, very practical when travelling

12. Because I can't use it as a lighter

13. Because it doesn't contain a special sound to call my cats and they really would come.

As the smart phones don't have what I want I keep my simple Nokia mobile which I use as a telephone although I also could use it to take pictures or as a video camera.
