Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is
Usually we were both right
Ok I'm crazy but maybe
I hope that turning the page somehow
Reveals a note that will claim you forever
Both of us, what a sight
In the mall there screaming
Believing it could be so right
'Cause you know that you're mine baby
Gotta get back home to you somehow
And take the blame for screaming much louder
Still you're in my dreams
Ok not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned, but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night

One of my holiday cocktails :) I like it with gin, not with Polish or Russian vodka ;)
The story behind this photo: On Christmas Day we were invited to our best friends' home. My girlfriend made my favourite cocktail, Martini. For a moment, I put my glass down, on her grand piano. BTW, she plays beautifully. As I looked at my glass, I realized that it's going to make a lovely photo. So here it is ...
I saw this on a counter corner in "The Break" coffee, wine and beer and thought it made a great still life shot.
This was taken early morning at Canberra Airport. I'm not sure how long these glass fixtures have been there but I think they're pretty cool.

Geschüttelt. Nicht gerührt.

Actually one should translate the catchphrase in German like this: Erschüttert, nicht gerührt ... which makes a completely different sense ;-)
I found the following a little interesting:
No other drink in book and film history is as famous as Bond's Vodka Martini. The agent licensed to kill has a very precise idea of how to mix this cocktail. The saying "Shaken, not stirred" is one of the most famous movie catchphrases of all time. Bond reaches for the glass on various occasions and in changing company. He drinks his vodka martini ice-cold, but without ice. So ice is put in the shaker, the vodka martini is shaken and finally the ice is filtered off. The name of the drink also causes further confusion: Martini is a very well-known vermouth brand, but Bond drinks his vodka martini entirely without this wine-containing ingredient. And James Bond wouldn't be James Bond if he didn't have an ace up his sleeve: Biochemists from the University of Western Ontario have found that the shaken variant with wormwood is healthier. In addition to the additional oxygen, it also contains more antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals.
- - - Well then ... cheers ;-)
I think my two virtual living room lights are having fun. And the mood goes with a drink, right?

Eigentlich müsste man das Zitat im Deutschen so übersetzen: Erschüttert, nicht gerührt ... was einen ganz anderen Sinn ergibt ;-)
Ich fand folgendes ganz interessant:
Kein anderer Drink der Buch- und Film-Geschichte ist so bekannt wie Bonds Wodka Martini. Der Agent mit der Lizenz zum Töten hat eine ganz genaue Vorstellung davon, wie dieser Cocktail zu mixen ist. Der Spruch "Geschüttelt, nicht gerührt" ist eines der berühmtesten Filmzitate aller Zeiten. Bond greift zu den verschiedensten Anlässen und in wechselnder Gesellschaft zum Glas. Er trinkt seinen Wodka Martini eisgekühlt, aber ohne Eis. In den Shaker wird also Eis getan, der Wodka Martini wird geschüttelt und schließlich das Eis abgefiltert. Der Name des Getränks sorgt zudem für weitere Verwirrung: Martini ist zwar eine sehr bekannte Wermut-Marke, dennoch trinkt Bond seinen Wodka Martini ganz ohne diese weinhaltige Zutat. Und James Bond wäre nicht James Bond, wenn er nicht noch ein Ass im Ärmel hätte: Biochemiker der Universität Western Ontario haben festgestellt, dass die geschüttelte Variante mit Wermut gesünder ist. Sie enthält neben dem zusätzlichen Sauerstoff auch mehr Antioxidantien, die den Körper vor freien Radikalen schützt.
- - - Na denn ... Prost ;-)
Meine beiden virtuellen Wohnzimmerleuchten haben Spaß, glaube ich. Und die Stimmung passt zu einem Drink, oder?

Adding to the nearly 50+ species of birds that visit my backyard is this latest addition, the most magnificent of birds, the Indian Peafowl. Yep, it is perched on the gate to my home, a surprise afternoon guest. I am seeing quite a few new species around my home lately and am wondering why. The peafowls, I am being told, were originally inhabiting the area now cleared for the Kannur International Airport that was opened to the public in 2018. I am not convinced though as peafowl sightings have only been pretty recent. Covid really did stir up things but I would like to know what exactly is going on. Coupled with the appearance of new species is the disappearance of commonly found birds like the babblers, both Yellow-billed as well as Jungle. I do occasionally see a few Jungle Babblers, but very few in number and not in their usual large groups.

Park Sołacki
From last year on a very foggy Sunday morning. The park was virtually empty when I started, but soon the movement of people beginning their morning walk or heading to service began to stir things up...I really love it when the fog embraces the morning, creating this very unique atmosphere throughout the city.....

Kramer, the Moluccan cockatoo at Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Moluccans are the largest of the cockatoo family and are endangered in the wild. They are native to lowland habitats in south Moluccan, Indonesia and are very intelligent and social birds. Kramer will show off his salmon colored crest if he gets excited. He has an exceptional vocabulary, knowing over 40 phrases.
