Well, guys, I can’t let a Saturday pass without providing some entertainment for you. So instead of the customary weekly round-up – already posted yesterday morning, against usual schedule – I’ll entertain you with a little RAPS reveal cum raffle. Because I realised that I have actually got a stash of seven ready-made RAPS sitting around at the mo. – I seem to be working in foursomes at the moment. Before this latest lot, I also made four shrines a few weeks ago. Do you remember this picture?
Well, you’ve seen the beard, and London spy guy arrived at his destination this week. Let’s do another one. Let’s go for pink.
Candy stripes all the way. With *that* on the lid, there can only be one in there…
Sorry, Team Shrubbery, but it’s time for some beardless love again. And slightly baby face at that. But in a suggestive pose. What is it with men who recline? They have a certain effect.
Right – they light up the heart. *eeeek* just noticing here now that the background picture behind Leeds-Richie looks as if he has two weird micky mouse ears on his head 😂
No space for a candle in this small shrine. But well, maybe the hearts are enough. It’s just a simple little shrine, nothing fancy or elaborate. But then again, hearts and stubble is quite sufficient.
Any stubbelitas out there? In that case, leave me a comment and you are in the raffle for this RAPS. To be sent anywhere in the world at no cost to you. The raffle is open until Monday, 1 July, 12 noon, BST. (I am back Monday early afternoon, so hopefully I’ll get a post out that afternoon.)
Like, comment – win! I’ll try and reply to comments if I can. ❤️
¡Yo soy una “stubelita”! 😍 😁💛💙💜💚❤💋

Yep, the heat was pretty bad, Michele. 93F? At least Munich does not have the general swamp climate that DC has, but somehow the air felt really heavy…

Yeah I dislike summer. I don’t normally travel in the summer except last two years b/c of bday celebration but the humidity and general yucky feeling here in DC just feels like I need a cold shower every hour!
I love the Alps in the background the view must have been spectacular!!

That’s how I remember DC from my time as an exchange student there…
Seeing the Alps from the plane and from the viewing platform was a real highlight. They are still about 1.5 hours away from Munich.

Ode to Stubble.
Boil, Boil, toil and stubble,
How I long to caress that naked cheek.
Does that make me a creep?
Could it get me into trouble?
Maybe, just a bit.
But it would be worth it.
