You are what you eat
The notion that to be fit and healthy you need to eat good food.

My vehicle of choice
I had exactly the same car in the 70 and 80, I loved it ! To my big surprise I saw one on the parking of our supermarket. It is a Citroën 2CV and is not built anymore since 1988 !
Carriages, I love to ride in or on them

Mr. Gattino got a real Ferrari watch from a friend. Now he is very proud. Arthur feels like I :

PHOTO HUNTERS - Garbage
more participants here
I thought I would find another interpretation of the word "garbage" but my imagination has its limits ! Not even a cat wanted to pose besides the bags.
We have three kinds of garbage bags and only buyable at the council house !
for general garbage
for plastic bottles and metal cans
and the worst and most expensive one is for the garden garbage ! Grass, leaves, etc. Here we have a lot because we had to cut a hedge ! Imagine what work and costs you have, to put all that in carton bags ! and when it rains they break and you can collect the whole mess and put it in new once ! They only come once a week so we have to leave the bags in the garage.

Seize an opportunity when it occurs for it may never happen again.
Paint the town red
If you go out for a night out with lots of fun and drinking, you paint the town red.

SKYWATCH - FRIDAY

These photos are taken at the Garda lake in Italy, always almost at the same spots. Out of my window, or at the lake. As the weather was very warm but not so steady, often clouds came up in all colors. From white over grey to nearly black.

Quiet before the Storm
When you know that something is about to go horribly wrong, but hasn't just yet, then you are in the quiet before the storm.
Red carpet
If you give someone the red-carpet treatment, you give them a special welcome to show that you think they are important. You can roll out the red carpet, too.
I am actually in Italy, post is prescheduled,
