photohunt

Today’s Photohunter theme is … whatever we want!

A couple of weeks ago I made up a travel scrabble game showing the names of some of the places I have visited or lived. And today I thought I would show you some of them. I’ve had travelling on my mind quite a lot lately and am hoping to go to either London or Marrakesh. In this collage (click to enlarge) you can see…

  • Asilah
  • Gibraltar (as seen from San Roque)
  • Barcelona
  • Córdoba
  • Zahara de los Atunes
  • Tangier
  • Lisbon
  • Jerez
  • Málaga
  • Bolonia
  • Cádiz

You can see more of my travel pics over on my Fotki page.

Was there ever any doubt…?

You Are an iPhone


You are one of those early adopter, super geek chic types.

You like a gadget that has a ton of features to fuel your tech obsessions.

You tend to know the inner workings of every toy, phone, and computer you own. You’re always exploring and learning.

You want the most leading edge phone you can find, at almost any cost. You’re usually the first one in line for the latest iPhone!

what room are you most at home in?

Actually, I prefer being in the livingroom in my pyjamas,
but the rest is quite true, especially the sanctuary bit …

You Are Most at Home in the Bedroom


You’re the type of person who finds sanctuary in your home. Your home is your private space.

While you may be a social person outside the home, it’s very rare that you invite people into your home.

There’s nothing like spending time alone in your bedroom – relaxing and reflecting about your day.

You truly treasure your time by yourself. You need to be able to recharge every so often in order to thrive.
