Grey day plus other issues.

 

Hello!

As you can see, it is a rather grey day today. Despite being a public holiday. Good side: I have time to go through my “things-desperately-need-to-be-done” list.

One of which is:

“find a SPAM solution”.

My ferntree photoblog suffers from a really bad attack for quite a while now. I had to clean up my comment sections e.v.e.r.y single day. I am completely fed up with this. So I decided to remove the comments from the blog and instead link it to this blog here. Which, now that I did it, actually makes sense.

What on Earth is SPAM good for? I just wonder WHO on EARTH does ever actually CLICK on one of these SPAM links?

“Oh cool, somebody has placed 298 links into the comment section of the ferntree photoblog website for cheap Prada bags. Nice, let’s check it out, click on the link and then buy one of these bags with my credit card”.

Really??

Anyway, I am relying on wordpress’s SPAM Filter and stick with this solution for a while. I might even upgrade my account and pay some Dollars in order to get it add free too….

Been there, done that!

OK my friends. Forget twitter. I am rather dissapointed after having twittered for a while. If you are not in need of sparking a revolution, twitter is just a huge bloody waste-of-time!
Been there, done that – let’s move on to new shores!

Speaking of new shores: I have done a hike in the forest next to the lake today. Since I was hiking on a Monday, and it happened to be a cold and grey Monday, I seemed to be the only person on this hike. For three hours! Oh how I loved it!

Spring is definitly kicking in now! What a relieve!

Addicted

 

 

Well, actually: “don’t follow me!”

It took me two days.

Two days to be addicted! There is so much creative energy out there in this parallel universe.

Be warned, do not open your own twitter account and do – by all means – not follow me. This stuff is dangerous. Highly addictive!

But perhaps you are safe if you just follow and don’t tweet yourself. This way you don’t have to worry about any addiction…

Oh and, @Christi, you have a #twittermessage

Cu soon, ladyferntree aka @webfink

Chirp! Chirp!

Well, I am experimenting.

Today, I have posted my first tweet(s).

It felt weird.

It is like saying something out loud and not a single soul is listening, let alone responding!

I have zero followers.

Do you twitter? What is your @? Let’s connect!

James Dean

 

“Am I old?”

It happened in my office.

Last Friday.

I was a bit frustrated and surfed the web for something to cheer me up . I stumbled upon an image of James Dean. James Dean! It made me smile. I started talking about him to my two office colleagues. One is twenty-five and the other twenty-even-younger.

“Who is James Dean?” is what they said, echoing each other.

Silence.

My jaw dropped to the desk. They have never heard of James Dean! Now I am wondering whether this was the very moment when I discovered that I am old?

Have you ever had a similar conversation? How did it make you feel?

Cosy Hut

Do you know these days when you wished you lived high up somwhere in a lonely mountain hut?

“No neihgbours.”
“No traffic jam.”
“No rush hour.”
“No noices”.
“No WIFI.”

No WIFI?! Oh no!! No way!

Bern. The capital.

 

Well, for a few months now I am driving every Saturday morning (!) to Bern, the capital of Switzerland, to attend classes in communications. Last Saturday (actually yesterday) I decided to take my camera with me.

So class starts at 9am (which means I get up at 5.56 am every S.a.t.u.r.d.a.y morning.)  <= please note and adore!

So when I hurried from the railway station in Bern to where my class is, I looked up from my coffee-to-go which I held in my hand. I realised that “the light was oh so wonderful”. So I quickly did a detour and hurried to a terrace (actually this is THE terrace in Bern, the terrace behind the Federal Palace.)

And it made me smile when I saw this scenery. The dark peaks (with backlight) in the foreground and the bright ones far away in the background.

Bad.

 

I was a bad, very bad girl. Most of these chocolates have been gone by now. The calories installed themselves comfortably and happily on my hips. Never to go away again.

Very bad indeed.

Sounds familiar to you?

Help! I need Air!

Air – Lots of it!

I have a problem. A huge problem. I need lots of fresh air. And it seems I make myself very unpopular amongst my office and school mates, whenever I open the windows….

Hello? Do you really not think it is necessary to at least open the windows for let’s generously say 5 minutes per hour? Did you know that a single person could not survive more than 1.5 hours in a telephone box before dropping dead!? So why do my work and class mates not want fresh air once in a while in a long day? Why do I seem to be the only one who feels like being locked into one of these telephone boxes whenever I am indoors together with other people?

Are you like me or are you more of the: “Hell Heidi, close the windows, it is freezing cold in here” types?

Your feedback would be much appreciated!

Feedback!

Heh – that was nice!

I got some feedback from some of you out there – encouranging me to keep blogging. Yes, I am really motivated – and certainly damn determined to make 2013 a good year!

:-)

(Which includes blogging…!)

So – cu online then! ladyferntree
