tea for one, only one

"How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty-four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow
Ive been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just cant look no more"

empty soul...low mood..sadness...pressure

goodbye, my catless gwantser

a friend, former boss and one of the people who taught me so many things has gone for good, today...

he used to give me book reading and music listening tips, he was one of the few who told me Keep walking when life sucked and especially when it was beautiful.

we had jokes only the two of us would understand...

Rest in peace, Dan Goanta, I will miss our late night conversations, your stories with Tractoras- the fugitive cat, the thesis on how important it is to have tails like cats do, my Friday laughing when reading your articles in Dilema ...

Zametrasgibico ( You know)

on mugs and their effects

lost are the times when you could find in people's homes only china cups, all in a 6 or 12 set, not dozens off different kind of mugs, all coloured, with a message, your name, a touristic destination, animal prints or sculptures on it
but so bright are the mornings when you admire your mug while sipping your tea or coffee...




my latest aquisition is not only a delight for my eyes,
but a commitment to have a healthy breakfast
( break the fast, aka don't skip that meal, in the morning!!!)
here it is: blackcurrants, strawberries, oatflakes
and goat yoghurt...again!

what does your mug do to you?

shoe day!

OK, autumn is here, in the mood for shoe shopping even if I really don't need to add new ones to my huge collection...except for some flexy boots I am dreaming of but didn't find elsewwhere but at Campers .
besides that, I have to tell you the ankle boots are back!
I remember the '80s, where you could find only rubbish in Romanian shoe shops...this kind of boots you could see only in the magazines brought by friends who had the opportunity to travel outside the country...those precious magazines that were OK even if they were 5-10 old already:))) I used to play with my cousin a game called: "what would you buy if you could from this page?"and, unfortunately, we could have only one choice:( for a page

I still got some white ankle boots that I remembered the moment I saw this pair of Pennly-loves-Kenny on Zappos. ( not that they deliver in Ro)
I could only remember my mother accidentally ruined those boots by washing their interior and drying them near the stove:( anyway, they did their duty as served me for more than 3 years...
I only think of those times whenever I buy a new pair...how then u could cross a year with only one pair of sandals, one of shoes and some boots...and it wasn't poverty...but those Romanian times with grey clothes and shoes, when having bright coloured stuff was such a wonder...

Such a wonder that I cried, when I was ten, when I got some navy shoes instead of those turquoise mummy ordered at a shoe factory in Agnita that was working in lohn for I don't know whom...and I cried that hard that finally I got the turqoise pair too, and I was the happiest girl in the neighbourhood...

flexy boots I found on the web are these Esprits, those Tsubos, those Keen Londons and those Paladium Invasions, but I'm still considering ...loving those Keens( 2nd row, left), though

and what's in a name?
