A favorite movie? Once again it’s time for Share Your World, hosted by Pensitivity101 HERE. with questions I enjoy answering. So here we go:
.

a favorite movie – Moonstruck
.
Do you have a favorite movie you never tire of watching?
Yes, I would say I have a few – depending on my mood. I love the old movies from the 50ies and 60ies, like Pillow Talk with Doris Day HERE and Rock Hudson HERE, To catch a Thief with Grace Kelly and Cary Grant or How to Marry a Millionaire with Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe. However, Moonstruck HERE with Cher and Nicolas Cage is also a “could watch it any times” movie. And of course no movie without popcorn.
.

Happy and dancing
.
Do you have a favorite song or special song as a couple?
HAPPY by Pharell Williams is one of my all time favorite songs! Whatever mood I may be in – as soon as I hear this tune I start singing and dancing. It’s a great song to wake up to in the morning!
.

I love to read – books and catalogues
.
How do you relax in the evenings?
Oh, goodness – good question! I read and watch some TV. I used to write all my blog posts late at night, but that no longer works for me. Either I get completely wound up so that I can’t sleep, or I fall asleep by the computer… Hence, a good book HERE works wonders for me. However, if it’s a suspense-packed story, it can happen that I read for hours on no matter if I’ve got to go to work the following day or not.
.

this year’s birthday flowers
.
Do you celebrate special birthdays or anniversaries?
Yes, I like to celebrate! My 40th and 50th birthday celebrations were with a lot of friends from all over Europe on a little German island. Despite the fact that my BDay is in February and we’ve had snow storms and what not, those were the best parties I can remember. My 60th was during COVID and I stayed at home with the tiny family I have here in Vienna. It was nice, too. But to be honest, I would have enjoyed a big party!
.

celebrate life – with peonies and everything else
.
Celebrate life!
However, life is too short to wait for a 70th birthday celebration in a far away distant time. Who knows what life will bring us tomorrow? Or in the next couple of weeks or months? I feel every single day should be appreciated. But most important is to celebrate life in general and to tell our loved ones each and every day that and how much we love them. How do you feel about this?

Flower of the day – pink peony
.
FOTD – PEONY
With this blogpost I’m also participating in Cee’s flower of the day challenge HERE , which calls for peonies today HERE.
.
Now hop over to the two hosts and check out how other bloggers answer these questions and find out what their favorite movie is, as well as what their peonies look like.
How would you answer these questions?

:-). Have a very HAPPY week and stay safe! :-)

Zu HAPPY by Pharell Williams muss ich auch immer sofort tanzen und singen. Mindestens ein bisschen auf dem Stuhl zappeln!
Und Feste kann man immer Feiern. Mein 50. fiel in die Kontaktbeschränkungszeit nach dem zweiten Lockdown. Eine Freundin mit Mann war kurz auf der Terrasse zu Besuch auf ein Stück Torte und das war sehr schön. Ich war froh, keine Party schmeißen zu “müssen”, denn danach wäre mir gar nicht gewesen nach den vergangenen 15 Monaten damals. Wie gut, dass das gefühlt so langsam ein damals wird. Was feierst Du vor Deinem 70.? Pensionseintritt?
Liebe Grüße
Ines

:-) Liebe Ines,
ich habe noch keine Ahnung, was ich feiern werde. Ob ich meinen Ruhestand nächstes Jahr feiern werde, mal sehen. Wahrscheinlich werde ich Urlaub machen und irgendwohin reisen. Es passiert gerade so viel in meinem Leben… Es wird sich alles finden.
Schon irre, dass man jetzt zur Corona-Zeit “damals” sagen kann, oder?
Ganz liebe Grüße,
Claudia :-)

Think Pink liebe Claudia. HAPPY by Pharell Williams ist auch einer meiner Lieblingssongs.

:-) Liebe Sabine,
ich kann mich noch erinnern, dass ich von deiner Kollegin einen Link per E-Mail bekam mit dem Zusatz, ich solle ihn anklicken wenn mein Chef nicht da ist und die Lautsprecher voll aufdrehen. Gesagt, getan und der Tag war gerettet :-)
Liebe Grüße
Claudia :-)

Thanks for joining in and the follow. Welcome to Pensitivity101!
I had intended to celebrate my 40th but my Dad was in hospital having had a massive heart attack. I took my cake into the ICU and shared it with the staff instead. Dad passed away the following day with Mum, my brother and myself at his side. It was not an unhappy birthday, just different.
My 50th was OK, and my 60th coincided with our silver wedding anniversary so a friend looked after the dog and we had a night in a hotel!
I’m 68 now and this year was not a good birthday as my husband was in hospital and I spent my birthday in A&E being tested for meningitis. Both of us were clear and Hubby is home now, but we’ve both tested positive for Covid!!! You can’t make this up can you!

Dear Di,
you’ve sure had your own share of special birthdays… oh, my goodness!
I hope you and your husband are recovering from Covid! Get well and take care :-)

:-) Thank you, dear Cee!
I did a couple of close ups over a couple of days and was amazed to see the change of the bloom and the color :-)
