It Happens

This is actually what happens when a sleeping cat is scared to death by the opening of a nearby window as a short-summery storm breaks out.



It all happened in a few seconds, but I still can't recall how she managed to hit the side table, which wasn't even on her way, and drop it down. Poor thing couldn't get back into the living room for a while. Had to go and sooth her by giving her favorite flavor reward sticks.

After the really short storm, my flowers seemed really refreshed.



This is literally my first flower growing attempt, so I'm doing my best to keep them in good condition. The exact definition of "in good condition" is "alive" considering my gardening experiences. Errrm, ok a little confession time: I am well known for my unintended ability at killing plants, especially the ones which have been left to me to look after while the owners are away on holiday. Anyway, hopefully, my luck will turn around and we will grow old and wrinkled together, the flowers and me that is!



Have a happy Monday and a superduperfantastic week y'all!

It's officially summer!

10 reasons to love summer:

1. Birkenstocks & sandals. Free your feet ladies...

2. All shades of pink nail polish on my toes. Love 'em!

3. Longer days. I really hate it when it gets dark at 4 pm in winter!!!

4. Swimming! Oh I love the sea when it is cold and crystal clear. But that's gotta wait till I go on

holiday in June.

5. Floor length flyaway skirts and dresses. Especially floral and romantic ones.

6. Sailing. I don't have a license, but I happily assist dad when we go sailing.

7. Ice-cold beer.

8. My new magic lip moisturiser with SPF 15. It's called magic because the transparent lipstick

turns into a lovely rosy pink on the lips.

9. New knitting and crochet projects. (2 are on the way to be photographed and put here)

10. Delicious summer fruit: Cherries, apricots, grapes, and peaches, my favourite of all by the way.

Let it snow, let it snow...

This was how my workplace welcomed me this morning.



Since the students are away for the term break, the campus was unnaturally (!) peaceful and tranquil. If you wonder what I was doing at work during term break is that we are marking the final exam papers these days. I had to evaluate 52 compositions today and will be going on doing the same thing with another pile of 59 papers. Do I enjoy it? Of course not! But it still felt nice standing there, looking around and trying to spot the best angles to take photos.



There is not even a white spot in the city center. No sign of snow at all. However, the weather forecast people are expecting a snow storm on Saturday, so we might have some "real" snow here in the city center, as well. We'll see. There's one thing for sure though. With or without snow, we'll be freezing with a -10C at the weekend.
