Happy Year of the Rabbit! And of course, St Valentine's Day is right around the corner as well. I hope your family is safe, happy and well.

On Saturday, the 11th of February, show us the last thing you watched. You can post a trailer from YouTube, a screenshot from the show, etc, as long as you post your own review. Who knows, maybe you'll catch someone's interest.

Also, let's see a glimpse of your day on Monday, 27th February. What does the last Monday in February look like for you?

You can post other days and challenges if you haven't gotten to them. Thanks for everyone who contributes so much! I will try to post reminders. Have a great week!

On January 7, a week before I did this post, my husband was in a motorcycle accident crushing his leg. I have been trying to find time to post this and finally have a second.

GAMD: Saturday 14 January 2023, Italy

Hi everyone, putting a reminder on my smartphone to document a GAMD worked 🙂
It was a different Saturday than usual, as we had made an appointment at a dealership to do a test drive, so it doesn't reflect my 'average Saturday' but hey, that's okay, isn't it?

JANUARY: 14 January & What do You Collect?

2023-01-08T21:20:46Z

Posted by: sobota

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023 and year EIGHT of this amazing community! I'm so glad to continue.

This month's glimpse at your day is Saturday, the 14th of January. What does that day look like for you? This year, I will revert back to just posting photos, as making the collages was taking up a lot of time I don't have anymore.

On Friday, the 27th of January, show us a photo or video of your collection or collections. Is it shot glasses? Band t-shirts? Exotic seashells? We'd love to see it.

Thanks for being such an awesome community. Let's get the year started off right!

GAMD: 23-December-2022, Macau

x-posted @ my own DW

Hello all! Today... was a journey... The Macau Government just implemented some new Covid-related policy three days ago. Essentially, it went from a total draconian control of must-quarantine-if-coming-in-from-overseas and daily itinerary reporting and check-ins for tracing possible contamination... to... a total laissez-faire "even if you got covid, if your symptoms are not the-you-are-dying-type then you better just stay home and not go anywhere not even the hospital" type of thing.

My alarm went off at 6:00am but I was feeling lazy, and hey, it was still dark out, so I just laid in bed until I heard the noises of my Sis getting up and start preparing for her day... only then I decided to stand up.

Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate! My Christmas will most likely be cancelled (I might be Covid positive tomorrow), will wait and see!

DECEMBER: 19-31 December & Formal vs Informal

2022-12-03T22:12:03Z

Posted by: sobota

It's the end of the year! 2022 has been full-on from the start. I hope you had a year of adventures, and thank you for sharing your days with us. One of my goals next year is to participate more, and thanks for all your patience with me this year.

It's December, which means we would love to see any of your days from 19-31 December. What are you doing the last couple weeks of December? What does the season look like for you? You can also post any other days you would like.

For our photo challenge, on Friday, 23 December, post a photo/photos of you in informal and formal clothes. How do you look like when you're having a lazy day at home? What do you look like when you're all dressed up and ready to go out? These can be old photos, but show us photos that haven't shown up in your days!

May the rest of 2022 be kind to you, and we'll see you in 2023!

GAMD: 23-November-2022 | Macau

Hello world!
I missed the 19-November GAMD and it could have been exciting, as it's the Grand Prix in Macau. However, I don't really like the Grand Prix, and I didn't go anyway, so I have nothing to show about that. Here I am with my 23-November instead.

The morning starts pretty much as usual.

And that was my day! Hope you enjoyed!

NOVEMBER: 19 November and What Did You Buy?

Posted by: sobota

Happy November! This year has absolutely flown by for me, how about you? It's National Novel Writing Month and Thanksgiving for the Americans! Hope this month treats you well.

Our glimpse at your day is Saturday, 19 November 2022. What will you be doing? I'll be hosting an all-night writing session at my flat, so my day will look a little weird!

For this month's challenge, we're asking what you bought from 21-25 November 2022. Groceries, clothes, special items, Christmas gifts?? What did you spend your month on this week?

Reminders to follow, have a great rest of the week!

GAMD: 30-October-2022 | The so-called Halloween Special (Not)

2022-10-30T16:57:45Z

Posted by: elusivek

Hello! This is Kat from Macau!
Halloween IS a big thing in the USA but over here it's just like... "yeah we know the Americans do it it's dress up and asking for candy" kind of thing. However, in recent years, I do hear neighbourhoods are trying to do that. But I'm still stumped by the mechanics of trick or treating in an apartment building. "Hey I'm done on Floor 12, let's go to Floor 13!" and you're probably not going to be allowed to go into a building that you don't live in? But I don't know. I don't have kids, and I don't have to worry about it.

Oh and while Halloween is tomorrow, it's Sunday today, and I did something slightly related to halloween today, so this is my halloween submission.

Frankie comes to wake me up today. His mug just cracks me up every time I see it, LOL.

Hope you enjoyed my day today! Happy Halloween!

OCTOBER: One Meal & 31 October

2022-10-11T11:26:01Z

Posted by: sobota

I can only apologise for this very, very late entry. September was difficult; my father passed away suddenly the day after his birthday and living abroad and being the executor of his estate has been rough. But onwards and upwards!

This month, pick a meal to show off (only one!), for one or all of these days: 15 October, 22 October and/or 27 October. Only one meal, and snacks are included.

This month's glimpse at your day is Monday, the 31st of October. Yes, Hallowe'en! What are you going to be doing that day? Can't wait to see!

One day reminders to follow, and I hope the rest of your month is smooth sailing.

Ah... a GAMD on a Tuesday... luckily I just so happened to have something out of the ordinary going on today to make it a tiny bit more interesting.

However, half the time I forgot to take phtoos today, so I have some random-ish photos to show. I forgot my morning shot. Which in retrospect, is always that window in my room anyway. Here's instead a shot of something like an "inner courtyard" of the building estate where I live in. This was taken after taking the dogs out for their walk.

GAMD: Tour of the apartment

2022-09-10T06:27:02Z

Posted by: elusivek

x-posted on my own DW

Hello! This seemed like an interesting challenge so here it goes. A house tour, or in my case, an apartment tour. First, a NOT-drawn-to-scale floor plan, I'm no architect, haha. Green brackets are windows. Pink things are doors. We start from the big arrow which is the entrance to the apartment. Oh, and photos are taken in wide-angle, so I don't know... rooms look smaller than they are? or bigger?

So first we are greeted with the Dining Room. Weird how the main entrance leads to the Dining Room? Well, because, originally, this was the living room. The room further off, now marked as living room, was part of the open-top verandah. Mom decided we didn't have enough space to closed off part of the verandah so we could have an extra room. So, the main entrance leads to the Dining Room. We go further in, and that's the living room. Everything's messy and upside down because we have no visitors LOL. If and when there are visitors, Mom would command us to clean up, put the chairs in place, and all that.

( See the rest of the apartment under the cut )
So this is the apartment I live in! Please excuse the mess in... most of the rooms LOL.

SEPTEMBER: House Tour & 20 September

2022-09-02T16:10:09Z

Posted by: sobota

Autumn is just around the corner, and here in Denmark it's already cooling down rapidly. Hopefully where you are there's hope for cool weather ahead, or at least less hot stuff.

On or before Saturday, 10 September, give us a tour of your house/flat/residence. We love to see where you're living, if you feel like sharing! (We still haven't got a sofa, so my house tour will come later.) 

As for a glimpse at your day, we'd love to see your Tuesday, 20 September. What does a random weekday look like for you? As always, you can post later or earlier days.

Reminders to follow. Have a great week!

I missed the 4-August GAMD, and I haven't gone anywhere on holiday (well, I did, but I already wrote about it in the June GAMD, so, not repeating myself), so I'd just do a GAMD today.

It's Saturday, but my sister needs to work, so, early day, and it was overcast and very windy.

AUGUST: 4 August & Your Last Holiday/Vacation

2022-08-01T19:31:04Z

Posted by: sobota

Hello to the dog days of summer! Are you staying cool? Did you avoid a heat wave? I hope whatever happens, you're staying cool, calm and collected.

As you can see, we have a quick turn around on the glimpse at your day. Show us your Thursday, 4 August 2022. I've been awful about posting days, even though I take photos, but I will try and remember. Remember that past days are welcome, if you feel bad about procrastinating like I do, and you can do any other day in August too!

For this month's challenge, show us photos from your LAST holiday/vacation. It could be from any holiday/vacation you took this year, but make sure it's THIS YEAR only. Post on or before Saturday, 20 August 2022. Did you have a weekend getaway or a fortnight somewhere special? Share with us!

Reminders to follow. Have a great one, folks!

Hello again! Yes. I am writing about 25-July because my 24-July was much the same as the other one I posted previously 12-July. We got to go back to work on 25-July, so here I am!

As usual, it's early morning for me. I wake up, but don't roll around in bed. I quickly go through my morning ablutions.

There you go! Hopefully the restrictions will continue to loosen over the next few days and life can really get back to normal!
