Popeye At The Ocean?

We went to tedox last Saturday, more or less a cheap hardware store, but they have  so much more - our best pan we got from there, great value!
And then I saw these, ohhhhhh. 

We miss the ocean. But with new job and all the Corinna-crazyness... not a chance.

Also not for these bowls.
a) kitchen too small (or the whole condo)
b) elephant in a China store... (me)

A pretty pic must do, right.

Well.. see here:

 
... Captain Popeye. The pipe should be long gone!!!
 

 
We won´t have spinach today, though, and my name is not Olivia (but we love spinach - hmmm, maybe change plans after all? I was in for mustard-eggs, let´s see).

How about you, ocean or hills and such?
I miss the desert, also...
Traveling in general. Haha, who does not?

I love getting up into the hills, but I really miss being close to the beach. Captain Ingo aka Popeye looks cute with that pipe :)

River said...

Ocean AND hills for me. But ocean first.
I love those bowls.
Ha Ha, Captain Popeye :)

Margaret, good when you love both!
Nahhhh, he is to let go of that darn pipe!

River, yes, it was hard to not buy one!. Ocean always first :-)

Popeye is one of my favourite cartoon characters. We all miss travelling in general. We still have to be careful and patient until it is really safe to let down our guard.

Iris Flavia said...

Nancy, I think we will have to live with it just like with the common flu - and we will! 😀 Soon...

I think we all miss travel, Iris, but I don't think it is going to get better any time soon. The airports of the world seem to be in total chaos, with flights cancelled and delays all over. It's not worth the hassle.

Iris Flavia said...

I agree, sadly, with you, David!

I lived on the ocean a very long time ago back in the early '70s in the state of North Carolina Loved it there especially the sound of the ocean. In the late 70's I lived near the mountains in the state of Colorado-and I loved it there too. I love living rural-No cities for me haha
Happy weekend oh and love the bowls hugs

Buying stuff for the kitchen is hard to resist -- yesterday we went to Ikea where there are tons of things to crowd a kitchen! Too bad you couldn't have new bowls!

best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

And now the beautiful lake!
Well, I love my city, of course, but this part is like a village, yet only, if you walk fast, only 20 minutes to the city.
Ingo got what he wanted (village) and me... city :-)
Win-win and hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Mae, yes, well, we have not much space!
IKEA is a "dangerous" place, just 5km/one hour on foot from here!

CJ Kennedy said...

Popeye. Too funny. I hope I get to the ocean at least once this season. Didn't get there last year.

My name is Erika. said...

I like those bowls too. And I had to smile at the captain. It suits Ingo though. Have a great weekend as I said in my last comment.

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, yes, I miss it so much!

Erika, noooo... I don´t want him to smoke! Hmm, to a great weekend, off outside now!

RedPat said...

I like to be by the water, even a river. Although a walk in the woods is nice too.

Iris Flavia said...

That´s a good balance.

William Kendall said...

I only go for spinach in a dish, like a quiche.

Iris Flavia said...

Recipe, please :-) Oh, with feta?

Jeanie said...

Love those bowls! And definitely loving the pic of Captain Popeye!
