SANDÍA

I could eat watermelon like FOREVER.

WAS IT SUMMER YESTERDAY?

Suddenly it is not hot. It is almost cold. Suddenly the sky is grey. Suddenly I had to close my window because of the wind. And suddenly all I can think of is ice-creams.
Delicious, summerish, colourful, happy ice-creams. My mind is all like that. Maybe I'd better prepare some chicken broth, it seems the weather is going ugly for some more days.

In other news, I am all excited as in a few days I will be starting my yoga lessons. I had tried it some years ago, but it resulted in disaster, so I am willing to see what happens this time -and see if my stiff body recovers some flexibility, or at least mobility, as it seems all I do is being on my computer and watching tv. OK, and going for a nice walk from time to time. And sew? That's not moving strictly speaking, right? OK, yoga, here I go!

WEEKEND KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR

When you think everything sucks, and you are having horrible nightmares while sleeping, and tears unexpectedly want to come into your eyes... Suddenly you just wake up to a fresh beautiful morning. Breeze. Birds. A nice breakfast. And some ugly urgent work to do but, who cares? You realize that Life.is.beautiful (at least by now today).
And as so, this weekend I'll do my best to make it better, and will try to find my way to one of these lovely deliciousness.
On a side note, I do have some nice touches of pink in my home-office. BFF gave these to me.


So now I'm started in the pink trend, right?
[Note to self: do not ever use again your own really bad and not edited photos in the same post you are using someone's else beautiful ones until you learn how to shoot. Thanks]
Have a nice weekend!

FLOWERS!!

There is something about purple flowers, that makes me feel comfortable, reassured, spring-like, soft, a little bit corny (?). And I have been savouring some nice moments through these beautiful comemeriendas (steal-picninc), as we familiarly call them in my little corner of Spain, Moa Maria has found.


And through these violets with which Soule Mama has made a deliciously looking pie.

TEN THINGS I HATE TODAY

Probably next week some of these will be totally irrelevant, and I will be hating something else. Maybe not.

• Grey days when all I want is a little sunshine
• People washing the dishes with cold water (afterwards the dishes are slippery, specially if you dressed your salad with some olive oil)
• My tastebuds needing some vinegar, and not having gherkins in the fridge
• Dog owners allowing their loved animals pooping all over the street
• Extremely talkative restaurant waiters
• Loving chocolate so much!
• Not having hot water the minute I want to have a shower
• Putting all my efforts in cooking a lovely meal, and that it results in something totally untasty (why me?!)
• Making the bed
• Talking on the phone (to nearly everybody)

But hating is not the only thing in life. Just one thing I do love. Oh my, do i love custard?


(not that I've had some today, but this was a delicious dessert I wanted to remember)

SIMPLE HAPPINESS

I do love chocolate. And if New York Magazine says that it is good eating one ounce of dark chocolate a day, who am I to say no to that? I am enjoying their 50 Steps to Simple Happiness. Obviously not all of them are at my reach, but I am getting some nice ideas.
