    Oh I like it. We are minus 21 C this morning! Brrrrrr.

    Lifecruiser: Thanks :-) Wow! Then you needed this fire to warm up *lol*

    Very nice! I like it a lot! I instantly feel warmer, now that’s it’s turned pretty cold here.

    Let’s see if the smilies work? :smile:

    Lifecruiser: Thanks :-) Oh, I do hope that we don’t get that cold over here too. You’re getting me worried here. Sorry to make you disappointed about the smilies….

    I love sangria, one of my favorites! I am a sweet drinker and prefer lots of fruit flavors! In fact it is the kind of wine I am drinking this week! Very apt picture for WW.

    Lifecruiser: Yes, it’s one of our fav’s too, especially this one was exceptional good. It was at a beach restaurant at Corralejo in Fuerteventura. They had an old family recipe that was outstanding, we kept coming back there just because their Sangria :-)

    Hi me again! I love the subtle changes! The header picture is wonderful but I think the background red is too intense you need to soften it up a bit! But I do like the header shot alot!

    Have I thanked you for all the blogroll’s you have set up for others? No! Well thank you! They sure do come in handy to have on a page when wanting to see who all is in a group! You are such a sweetie.

    Sorry to hear about your weather! Ours has finally turned winterly cold with possible ice in the forcast! Brrrr! Stay warm!

    Lifecruiser: So you think that the background is too intense red. Interesting. I think that it’s the intense factor that does it :-) Or maybe we see it a bit different since we have different displays with different graphic cards or settings too? Who knows? Well, it’s difficult for me to do anything about it since it looks fine to me :-)

    You’re welcome. It’s no problems for me to help with the blogrolls and after all, I have use for at least one of them myself :-) From there it’s just copying and some minor changes, so no big deal. Of course I’ll help out my blogfriends!

    The weather yes… The southern Sweden has had storms with damages following, not good at all. Luckily, up here we often manage without damages. It’s like the winds always decreasing when it reaches us. Good for us though.

    Mmmm…I haven’t had sangria in forever!!! I use to frequent a few Latino parties back in the day when I was young enough to party LOL. Sangria was a mainstay at those get-togethers!

    I’m still seeing Santa’s crash landing…which is nice, but I wanted to check out your new look.

    Lifecruiser: Yes, Sangria is the very best! we throwed a Tapas party when we came back from Spain last year, it was a defenitive hit!

    OH, you may need to update your browser cache to be able to see the new look, by pushing the F5 button, since it aves the blog to the cache and fetch it from there mostly instead of going out on the internet every time.

    Danielle UNITED STATES said:

    Oh, I almost forgot…good luck with your doctor/dentist apppointments and I wish you good health for the new year! :grin:

    Lifecruiser: Thanks, I sure need it :-) The very same and a lot of happiness!!!

    What a change…but it does make you feel warm for some strange reason!! I do not drink but thanks anyway!! THe strongest I get I guess is my favorite Liptons cold GREEN tea!! I drink gallons of it anymore. I think it has helped me lose all of this weight so far. I worked all day yesterday trying to change my header and for some reason it would not change. I finally just gave up for awhile!! Thanks for stopping by…Sandy

    Lifecruiser: Yes, doesn’t it? *s* That was what we needed right now in this cold and dark season. It’s very dark over here in the winter. Especially now when we’re not having any snow – yet. Ah, good for you loosing all that weight. Way to go girl!

    I know how that is, to work with something without succeeding. Phew! Maybe it was Blogger having issues now again? I hope that you succeed :-)

    Nice! It turned cold again here yesterday, just after the pear trees were starting to grow little buds so this is nice and warm!

    I love the header, and I think I like the flames too…kinda sexy, don’t you think?! :wink:

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. Yes, my thoughts is passion as usual :-)

Although these are my favourite colors, as you can see on my paintings, but here it’s really fun ! Very unusual indeed ! If I only could change my background ! Great ! congratulations ! You will get an award for the best (ugliest) background in Bloggerworld ! Why did you drink so much Sangria ? laying under the table by now, äh ?

    Lifecruiser: * naughty giggles* Or is it in heaven? Because those flames might be started of our LOVE ;-) Keep it burning folks!

    Ma UNITED STATES said:

    That looks really good, and so does the reflection on the pitcher.

    Thanks for stopping by. I’m not used to this cold weather. My hands and foot are freezing!

    Lifecruiser: Thanks Ma :-) Yes, I hope that the weather improves on you – and not get that bad over here if I may wish something for myself too… *S*

    26

    Looks delicious and I apprecaited the warm tones and flame images today although it is getting more normal here in sunny AZ today….
    Hugs,
    Holly
    Holly’s Corner

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. Well, you might not need the flames normally, but over here it’s always needed :-) We really have different climates huh? *s*

    27

    Sangria! I like it! Haven’t had any in a long while, though. Great photo! And thanks for stopping by. -Robin

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. I’m glad I could offer you some tasty Sangria ;-)

    Kuanyin UNITED STATES said:

    You fill up my entire 17 inch screen with hot flames. I really don’t need any more heat here in the Maui tropics, but hey, it’s gorgeous and I’ve always been partial to the hearth! :cool: Sangria’s not bad either. If ya wanna cool off, join me under our shade tree.

    Lifecruiser: He he… I know… Well, maybe you can throw some sea water over here to cool us off later, but right now we’re still freezing :-)

    That’s a pretty cool picture.

    Frances UNITED STATES said:

    I’ll drink to that…and it goes well with your lovely template.
    Thanks for visiting my blog.
    Take care,
    Frances

    Lifecruiser: Thanks Frances. Yes, it does match pretty well, doesn’t it? *s*

    31

    Mmmmmh *yummy* reminds me of summer-holidays :mrgreen: I love your new look =)

    Lifecruiser: Thanks :-) Yes, it wakes up summer memories, nice warm ones… *s*

    32

    Nice close up. I tried to find your relection in the glass, but I can’t make you out.

    Lifecruiser: Thanks. No, I couldn’t find that it, strangely enough. It should be there :-)

    33

    Is that iced lemon tea? We have the drink here as well! :grin:

    Lifecruiser: Oh, no… This is far better. It’s a Spanish drink (with alcohol in it). The recipe varies a lot between the familys. This particular one is made of Banana, vanilla and orange liquor, Brandy, Grenadine, 11 Extra Dry (Triple Sec Dry), red wine, sugar and fruits and it’s very important to get the right amounts of them each – all according to an old family recipe of our favorite beach side restaurant in Fuerteventura, Spain – who make the best one over there. Better not to drink too much of it though since it’s alcohol in it :-)
