making an appearance

i know it's been a looong time since i've last written on this little blog of mine. in that period of time i've had a change of job (good-bye long hours of commute to work) and a camera to fix and a pc to get working- exactly in that order. i had frustrating moments of not being able deal with the changes in my life as i wished, that's something to add to the new year's resolutions. it's been busy at my new job and i've needed some time to get well adjusted into this new rhythm. drank way too many cups of coffee and tea. in the meantime i've learned to operate my tele-control properly, watched numerous episodes of Dexter and old movies, knitted a scarf for myself (that i'm going to show you soon) and had a visit to my sister in milan. shame i didn't have the technological means to document any of these. nice. here's a photo of how the coolness of early winter revealed itself. to be honest, i can't say i've absorbed it fully - something else to add to the new year's resolutions- other photos prove the fact that home is where i've been. promise a more exciting post with better photos in the coming days.

summer time

a sudden, powerful and short lived rain left me soaking wet in the late hours of last night. it made everything around smell summery and earthy and it was actually enjoyable to walk through it; getting wet, but not cold. today though, it's as bright as an early june morning can be. it's early summer so  the unsettling weather is still welcomed as a reminder of change and flux; before we fall into the laze and ease of the of the steady, golden summer heat. waking up from day dreaming and just being in the moment is a challenge though. just watching and accepting.

i saw this on the net and wanted to share it. clever idea eh? love their slogan: it's better at the beach, i agree. here are some snaps from last night and early this morning.
