Advent again

My view when I do my "hip-training", lying on the floor (my hip is not straight and my right ankle hurts bad if I skip training). It was sunny today and it looks cool, huh?
I got so much done today! All floors are vacuumed and mopped and dried (floor is real wood).

And I finally got the time and light to take pics of the other great pressies I got in my Advent-Calendar last December.
This Lion is from some years ago, the frog was from this Calendar:

I have no idea where my friend gets them from (and I don´t wanna know, I like to get surprised), but aren´t they just gorgeous?
Here is Froggy from the back - made with so much love for detail!

And these spoons! Aren´t they just cute?

I usually have the blue one at work (VW-style, ya know) and I smile each time I use it. Really, I enjoy the spoon each working day. The texture is great, too.

I have to find a good light-blue T-Shirt where Ingo will iron on these mushrooms:

I just love Advent, you see why, huh? :-)

In general I like tinsel-stuff. This lion wears his whole year round (bought 2006 in Perth, btw):

And the Santa´s bonnet is there also all year round, it just looks so good, no?

The "pic" of the Japanese women to the right is actually a cloth to clean glasses. It came with my sunglasses and this note from Bro, saying "dear Sis, flowery greetings by heart, love, your Bro" (yeah, I am like that, I pin it to the wall to see every day).

We also did some serious washing! Those super-expensive Braunschweig- and Perth-Shirts (right, the Perth-Shirts were rather not soooo expensive. But consider the cost for the flight... makes them expensive).

I am so lucky lately, you wouldn´t know! Friday we went to the city. I admire this shirt of Ingo:

And so we went into that shop. There was only one of those left - and it was in size s, yay! They make it ready for Monday.
And no, we will not wear it at the same time being one of those couples... (though we accidentially ended up like that just today!).

At our stupid grocery store they also have a Tschibo-section and I saw a cute white long-sleeved cotton-shirt. Size 44, several, 42, 40, 38... all several. One (!) in size 36 - yay! For only 10 bucks, high-quality.

Aaaaand! This:

Oh, Aldi, I thank you! This truffle-butter I detected in 2010 - it.is.so.dang.yummy, you just won´t believe it! They only had it til end January and this time I froze some up.
Guess what? Obviously many people like it - they have it again til summer! Yum - yum - yum!
Says the one who doesn´t care about regular butter.
Sorry Ingo, I know you can´t stand the smell. I hate the smell of your fish-stuff, just let me have my truffle-butter :-)
