| Guinea Pig in the Tulips, watercolor |
My guinea pig is whizzing around the world. Today I found him in a tulip field in the Netherlands chatting to a caterpillar. I would love to know what they are having a chinwag about.
Where do you think he will end up next???
If you could vote for him over at Bored Panda you would really make my day:
In other news we are having our roof raised to create more room. Well basically they take it off and switch the power off for three weeks so we have to move out. It will be in the summer mercifully so at least I don't have to worry about getting the kids to school! I wonder where we will go? All I know is .....camping is not an option! I am not that type to want to 'get in touch with nature'....I just get in touch with poison ivy and get a nasty rash.
I know someone who has a weekend house we might be able to use. The kids will probably think of it as an adventure. But I have realized that I am practically geriatric when on hearing we had to temporarily move I took a deep sigh knowing I'd have to organize all the clothes and crap being stuffed into suitcases.
I remember there was a time I loved adventure. I remember being on holiday in Vienna and my mother when I was a youngun and we turned up at the airport a day late so we'd missed our plane. My mother was pissed off but I was like....how exciting let's go back to home to London by train! I got a real kick out of it.
Now I know how she feels! Do you like routine and predictability or do you like it when life makes you shake things up now and again?
Basically are you an adventurer or stay at home guinea pig?

Would you please send your guinea pig here to me in Germany? I would love to meet him down at the Rhine! What a beautiful painting! I will surely vote for you. Have fun'camping'....Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I am going to put this cheeky guinea pig in a Lederhosen at some point. He might even sneak a sausage. Happy Friday!!
DeleteThis is adorable! I think the beaches of sunny Southern California would be a great spot for him....
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteSo cute in such a lovely scene.
Well, he is pretty close to Switzerland and there are a lot of mountains he could climb there. Or, if you think he would prefer a warmer climate, just across the border is Italy ... Rome would be a nice adventure. He could visit the Pope :)
ReplyDeleteI think I am an adventurer at heart, though the idea of moving isn't a turn on. I do like spontaneity and unlike you, nature is my favorite place to visit. Your watercolor painting is beautiful ... I will go vote for you :)

ReplyDeleteYour guinea pig painting is adorable! Good luck on the disruption in your life that the renovations will cause. Yes, definitely look at it as an adventure. Or it could just be seen as something necessary to get to the good part - the new space.

What a great post. I've never read one that starts with a guinea pig before! I'm a bit of both, I quite like randomness but then, I like to be a stay at homey too :) #brillblogpost
