my thursday hasn’t been rosy at all. it had another colour but this can remain my little secret.
tieu is, at the moment, lying next to me asking this and that about the blog, giving me ideas for future posts. so nice to have her here. we are so different, yet we enjoy each other’s company a lot.
i see this blog growing and getting more visitors everyday and this makes me so happy. thank you.
the other day i watched vicky christina barcelona. was surely not impressed by the film; my favourite woody allen’s is, of course, bananas. however, oviedo caught me eye. it’s been long time without travelling and i now feel the urge to visit new places and meet new people.
once, i thought of doing an overland journey of the balkan peninsula. as i have only been to serbia, i would like so much to visit montenegro, bulgaria and croatia.
anyway, that’s it for today. friend is waiting at the door, ready for her night cuppa.
hello hello! my good friend tieu is here. she came all the way from london today to bring me pimm’s and get drunk. just kidding! she is here to see me and me to see her. we ‘ve been apart for a very long time but funny enough i feel like we had a coffee and a chat just yesterday. she feels the same.
my reply to her do you want me to bring you something from london question was of course pimm’s. can’t wait to make my favourite cocktail; pimm’s with sprite, strawberries and mint.
tieu is determined to do a lot of bar and café hopping and i am certainly up for it. i am going to add some art to her hectic bar crawling agenda but she doesn’t know it yet.
photos from our trip back to athens today. weather is getting warm and i feel like smiling again.
i am so happy to tune into my favourite radio station.
feeling a bit better but not great. my mac and i have been closest friends for years now, but lately our bond has become stronger than ever.
favourite pastime is discovering interesting things and people online; like evripidis and his music. evripidis is a greek guy who lives and works in barcelona. he makes music but also works as graphic designer. nice to have found him. his music cheers me up a lot.
hello! i am going through cold no 3 for this winter {spring}. the good thing is that i have friends {and of course, family} around.
time in bed encourages retro/intro spection; it’s now definite that i am growing up. and no matter how much i like remaining a little girl, i can’t hold back becoming an adult; a woman. either i want it or not. maybe, it’s my last wisdom tooth coming at the moment. maybe, it’s the last two emotionally hectic years.
sister says that when time is right it might be a good thing to become an adult. maybe, i got tired of being a kid. tired of going through the same phase again and again; repeat the same living {and emotional} pattern. maybe, i just need to move on and make the next step.
transition, though, seems confusing; what to keep and what to discard. also, self-consuming; maybe, because i was too cosy in my extended childhood. and my belated womanhood seems serious and demanding. but maybe not. maybe, the difficult part has just passed.
for the time being, i just wish you a beautiful week.
p.s. i crave for a picnic under a full moon. like alice above.
i so wish i had lived in the 60s. i love everything about that era; decoration, fashion, cinema, lifestyle. people’s natural elegance. the social revolution against the past and rigid norms.
the video above is from a greek film, typical of that decade. it pictures my favourite greek actress of that period, in the loveliest dress and shoes, with the greatest bob.
what i love the most though, is her relaxed and unpretentious performing.
