Good morning peevers.

I have to be so careful.

I have to be in town a bit later and it's not a particularly early appointment.

However after sorting out various things here, including doing the POTD, time can creep up on you and I do not want to feel rushed out on the road.

I know we've had this peeve before, but it hasn't gone away, so here it is again.

The POTD is;

Thinking you have lots of time, when suddenly.....

That's a good peeve. Christmas is like that for me every year. Suddenly it's here, and I'm not ready. I've sent out exactly one Christmas card so far.

Time is precious. When young we spend it like a freely-renewable resource. As we age, we recognize its true value.

I know that feeling and I am not procrastinator. I always carefully plan ahead, and yet sometimes I almost run out of time.
Very nice village, Jezer - so peaceful, clean and organized. I would not mind to live there!

Oh how the time slips away. But the other day I went to the city early so I could do a bit of shopping. I got done shopping and I still had almost 2 hours before my doctor appointment. So I had to just meander around and do nothing for 2 hours. That was not fun because I was on the wrong side of the city to do what I really needed to do.

Jez....love the scenes but what kind of trees are those in the #2, #3 and #4 pictures? They don't look like anything we have in the Midwest.

Next Friday, the days start getting longer, albeit by only a minute a day, I think. Does that mean I'll have more time to do everything?

I wish.

Good morning and happy Friday peevers. BTW......your a great group of peevers. I like this thread and thanks to Jezer to be so faithful and do this for us every day.
Hats off to Jez.
Love your pictures too. like I said before, love seeing the old world.....Old building fascinate me and I enjoy them so much.

Peeve of the day.......This was me the other night when I found out christmas was 2 weeks away
. Well now it is 12 days. I said to the TV......what......you crazy or something??? Then I realized it was only 2 weeks. Wow......I got on the puter and ordered gift cards. One said it will be here on the 26. Not sure why it takes so long to mail a freaking gift card.
Anyway.....i'm still in pain but I must go shopping this morning. Going to finish then wrap this weekend.
I just want at least to be done a week before. I hate last minute. Makes me crazy



I think you get the idea. LOL........have a great friday everyone and a gregorgous weekend.........
