They have only now began to unfold their flowers, so nothing spectacular at the moment.
Not something to be found in my apartment – no room and it would probably pull the ceiling down. However, if you are looking for a caldelabra, then have at look what you have in the photos from the local castle. Exactly, our Castle Waldegg, on the other side of the road in our village, I found a candalabra. Probably not from the last century, but even the castle people have to modernise now and again.
FOWC with Fandango: CaldelabraBlue Berta (her name) was always one of my favourites. She seemed to get around in our area, but eventually arrived just opposite where we were living. This was a few years ago. According to information on the computer, she is still in our town, but now in a more northerly direction. I must try to find her again.
RDP Friday: SculptureI know it is not exactly a cemetery, but it is Mr. Swiss relaxing in a cafe in Vienna recovering from the eternal tours of the the cemeteries in a town which has the largest cemeteries in Europe. The poor man was patient letting his wife perform one of her favourite pasttimes, visiting cemeteries, and I suppose he deserved a relxing hour away from the dead and the monuments.
Otherwise not wanting to disappoint, here is the tomb of the last Kaiser of Austria, Franz Joseph, together with his wife on the left (known as Sissi, who was assisnated) and his son (who committed suicide).
And here is one of the local cemetery, to show that I not only visit the graves in other parts of Europe.
I could include a few views of the three cemeteries to be found in Paris, France but It would be a record sized blog eventurally.
And to finish it all off, here is the remains of our family grave, going back to my grandfather, who was the last to be buried here. Unfortunaltey the grave no longer exists, (probably no room more for anyone else) but I did take this photo many years ago when I was still a teenager, which is the only record now of its existance.
FOSC with Fandango: CemeteryOur town of Solothurn is one of the oldest, if not the oldest town in the country. It is full of relics. Every time the authorities decide to dig for a new building, they discover that someone had already done the same a few hundred years before. I remember when they found the foundations of a roman villa.
Even in the golden oldie home where Mr. Swiss now is, they have a church with a few relics on the roof. The church is still used now and again, and they even have services for the inhabitants of the senior home, although being roman catholic not our religion.
RDP Thursday: RelicEveryone wants to be elevated today. It is no longer a problem, just climb it and you will be transported to a height that enables you to clean a window or do a repair job somewhere in the heights.
FOWC with Fandango: ElevatorI suppose everyone wants to blog now and again. At the beginning I did not even know what blogging was. I discovered that it was something similar to writing a composition at school and so I decided to have a go – about 40 years ago. Now I blog almost daily, sometimes with energy and sometimes not according to what I write about. We get suggestions from our various web sites. Now and again I have had enough and decide to end my blogging life. A few days later I return to see what the others are blogging a bout. and blogging life goes on. Yes, we have a small community of bloggers. And so blogging iife continues.
RDP Tuesday: BloggingAll those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.
