Blogging Idea: Blog Posts From The Past

Dennis

While I corrected the English of some of my older blog posts, I got the idea that it would be fun to highlight some of the stories again from time to time. The blogging reality is that we share a lot of funny or entertaining stories, but most of the blog posts sink into insignificance once they are not visible on the front page anymore. If I go through my older blog posts, I am often entertained for two reasons, I am sometimes surprised that I actually wrote about a certain topic because I forget it after a while, and … Continue reading Blogging Idea: Blog Posts From The Past

I Tried To Draw A Face And The Result Is Horrible But Funny

Dennis

I always wanted to learn how to draw, but I always thought it would be impossible, and I didn’t have the same thoughts when I learned to play guitar back then. Something tells me that you can not learn everything, there are things that you might understand faster than others, and it looks it was easy for me to get started with the guitar back then, and I play the instrument up to this day. With drawing, I tried to learn it several times, but I usually gave up because my sketches would look so horrible. Just recently I thought … Continue reading I Tried To Draw A Face And The Result Is Horrible But Funny

This Is Something We Didn’t Want To Hear

Dennis

I actually planned to show you some of the photos I shot during my hikes, and I maybe will do this the days or in the evening to distract myself, but now I am still a bit sad. As I wrote in another post, my uncle got diagnosed with Oligoastrocytoma WHO Grade III, but yesterday we got another shock, they changed the diagnosis and told us that it is a Glioblastoma Multiforme WHO Grade IV. I can not tell you how sad I was when I heard that, because due to all the reading, I am very aware what that … Continue reading This Is Something We Didn’t Want To Hear

Our Best Friend Is Called Hope

Dennis

It’s a long time ago since I participated in any of the WordPress daily prompts, but the recent prompt is about hope, and if there is a word that described our recent weeks and months and this day well, it’s the word hope. As I mentioned already once, my uncle got the diagnosis brain tumor, and until recently it was not clear what kind of tumor it would be. He had a brain surgery where they tried to remove most of it, and the laboratory in another hospital got the samples and we were now waiting for the results, to … Continue reading Our Best Friend Is Called Hope

Talking About The Brain Tumor

Dennis

As some of my regular readers might have notices, I moved to another town where I stayed for almost four months to help my uncle. I moved there with my most important things, including my cat you see in the photo of this post, and my computer and a couple of other things I needed, as I was aware it could be a longer stay. Some days ago I moved back into my own apartment in my hometown, because my uncle has a couple of appointments in the hospital in my town. I didn’t go into detail back then for … Continue reading Talking About The Brain Tumor

The Photo Alone Makes Me Hungry

Dennis

It’s been some time, and I thought I should post something into my category of food photography again. Above you can see a photo that I shot some months ago. I just remember that I came back home after a long hike during very cold weather, and my aunt prepared this dish for us all. Nothing could be better than a warm dish, after a hike in the cold weather, and I was very happy when I saw that my aunt prepared potato croquettes with a delicious sauce, a nice steak and peas and roots. Some time passed after I … Continue reading The Photo Alone Makes Me Hungry
