Oh, that looks perfect, Chrissi!  What island were you on? 

It, was, Meryl, it was.
No island, we were on the mainland. You can see Mt. Olympos in this card (upper half, left of center, the little black triangle):

Looks like paradise, Chrissi.  Thanks for sharing.

BTW, those chairs are the famous Louis Ghost chairs by Philippe Starck:

The things you learn on BetterMost!
I had never heard of them before. But now I know why I liked those strange chairs. I like P.S. stuff.
I also think he looks very sympatico.



And I really LOVE this bathroom design by him, especially the tub:



I was seriously thinking about buying it when we renovated our house. But money was a good (bad, in that case) point.

Thanks Paolo!

Where's my Y?

What Y, I know you're asking. I'm not talking about chromosomes, I'm totally happy with my XX chromosomes .

I'm talking about the Y on my keyboard. I have a black keyboard with the letters printed in white on it. At least they were once on it. Some letters are gone because my fingers pushed the respective key so often: E, R, T, I, O, A, S, H, L, Y, and N. The D, U, W and the C are barely visible anymore, but still there.

Hubby told me yesterday he can't work with this keyboard anymore, it drives him crazy. That's what got me into taking a closer look which letters are missing. I was surprised to see the Y gone. We barely use Y in German - but of course it's common in English. Same with the letters C and K. In German, the K is far more often used than the C, but yet the C is almost gone from my keybord, while the K is still intact.

Two morals from this story:

First, you can draw conclusions about the main language used by the state of abrasion of different letters on a keyboard.

Second: buy regular, grey keyboards with black letters. I never had them vanish.
