Monochrome Monday: The Bathroom

Posted in Monochrome Monday by angloswiss

What could be better than a monochrome in a corner of the bathroom. I was playing around with the various versions of monochrome and decided on this weathered look. Actually there is a reason for the bathroom photo. My bathroom is equipped with an air vents when I switch the light on. It is no big problem but an electricity eater for no reason. I do not need strong illumination in the bathroom. I have now put one of my Fatboy lamps in the bathroom. They do not need a connection to electricity, they have some sort of battery which last a long time and is sufficient for my bathroom. I cannot use the bath because of my imobility, but have a separate shower, so no problem. I quite like my monochrome bathroom, although the tiles are actually blue.

FOWC with Fandango: Inch

Posted in FOWC by angloswiss

This could be an inch worm, although I do not think I would use it to measure sizes, a little bit messy.

I grew up with inches in Britain. We knew nothing else. 12 inches =1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard, 22 yards = 1 chain and 22 chains =1 furlong. 8 furlongs made 1 mile – yes I can still do it. Furlongs were mainly for horse races I believe there were 1760 yards in a mile. Even in my older years I can still remember it all. I have been living in the land of decimlals since many years, Switzerland, but the inch system has somehow stayed amongst the cobwebs in my brain. My kids probably do not even know that they once existed.

RDP Monday: Room

Posted in Ragtag Daily Prompt by angloswiss

A room with fond memories. It was in a house that belonged to a musical friend of my husband. It was used mainly by the various music groups, and sometimes it was used as a concert room. This photo is of Mr. Swiss on the drums and other friends. The got together for a jam session, always modern jazz. It was a good time when we wives would also watch the groups.
