Grey

A week with many emotions with the bomb attacks in Brussels last Tuesday and the sudden death of Dutch professional football player and icon "Johan Cruyff" yesterday. Born in Amsterdam in the same year as me, I have followed his succesful carreer specially in the seventies and his death feels a bit as the end of an era. Makes me feel a bit sad.today and those grey skies doesn't help much either.
This morning the doorbell rang and a beautiful flower bouquet was delivered, we had no idea from who, guess what, the wrong adress....
Linking to "Skywatch Friday"

  1. Both very sad events. I heard about the death of Cryuff on the news tonight and can't believe that a person who should probably be fit and health could die so young! Sadly death doesn't choose ages, a friend of mine died 2 weeks ago of a heart attack two days after turning 56! I think these events make you feel "mortal" don't they?
    Have a good Easter Marianne.

  2. Yes, that grey sky does reinforce the sad mood. Too bad the flowers were not yours to keep; they might have been a mood lifter.

  3. Het is inderdaad triest weer, hoewel hier toch net even een waterig zonnetje scheen.
    Helaas van de bos bloemen!

  5. Hope the bouquet lifted your spirits if only for a few moments before you realised it wasn't for you.

  6. I guess we could say you have mixed emotions today. We always think that our sports heroes are invincible.

  7. Its sad to lose a person you admire so greatly, someone who you have followed and watched grow. There are some people like this in my life too and one day they also will be gone as will I. I guess we can only remember with fondness and smile at the memories they brought to you. The bouquet was a nice surprise, full of colour no doubt, even if wrong address; I'll bet they brought a smile to you.
