Twitter just alerted me to the fact that there are a good number of previously not seen pictures of RA available on Getty Images. If I get this correctly, they are made by photographer Aaron Richter and can be accessed HERE. To be honest with you, I can’t really say that I think these are…
Hello! As you have probably noticed, I took a little holiday from the blog over the last few days. I just needed a little bit of relaxation after the madness of last week đŸ˜œ. But the round-up reels me in every time. It’s always a good reason to blog and be in touch with my…
Yesterday evening I was chatting with my mum, explaining why I hadn’t had called for a few days. I told her about our fundraiser and that we had raised 3,500 Euro for charity as a birthday present for “that actor whom I like”. My mum’s first reaction: “Oh, does he know? Has he said thank…
Mission accomplished! Can you still read or are you still on the floor? I’ll give you a second to recover. … … … I would like to congratulate you all to this massive, stunning, breathtaking and overwhelming result of this year’s auctions and fundraiser in honour of Richard’s birthday. It is hard to believe, but…
Goodness! With all that excitement going on, I almost forgot the weekly round-up. And meh, I just noticed that Richard has already tweeted his birthday thanks. Um – fairly early in the day. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, the donations, the fundraising, the auctions and gifts. I feel very special. XRA pic.twitter.com/Wvva9JL8lZ —…
The records keep coming and coming. I have more good news to spread, and I’ll say it right at the beginning of this post. We are actually looking at a final tally that will cross the threshold into the 3,000s! Despite considerable eBay, Paypal and postage costs (final accounts in a different post), it is…
How do you do it, people? These birthday auction fundraisers get better and bigger and better and bigger every year! I am stunned and currently not properly able to put everything into smooth words. But perhaps you are not waiting for a rhetorical fireworks, anyway, just stfu Sonja and give us the low-down. I will.…
Tada! The storm has passed and apart from a bit of breakage in our garden, it has also blown in the message I was hoping for. Over night, the auctions have moved further and you kindly and generously answered my call. Thanks to further bidding, the auction total has passed the 2,000 Euro mark. Hooray…
A little update via blog on the progress of the birthday auctions – because, boy, we have had progress! It actually warrants a landmark of sorts. We started the day with an already healthy half-way mark total of auction sales that had passed the 1,500 Euro threshold. Well, it didn’t stop there. Usually the second…
Good morning, good morning. It sounds somewhat contradictory, but during the auctions I always *enjoy* going offline. Because when I come back from my short absence, there usually are new movements in the auctions to look forward to. And so it is this morning. Big time. We are now more or less half way through…
