In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped.

Song of the week! In which we swim to the ocean floor

Hello again everyone, it's so weird how this Friday feels like Saturday already! Here I'm again, now to bring y'all the song of the week! Today, my recommendation brings Madonna back, and one of her most successfull albums: Ray of Light (1998), which also happens to be the year I was born, a very nice coincidence!


It's being a very unusual winter this one I'm having, very hot days, not enough rain, which gave me an idea on what tune to highlight today: Swim! Okay, the song doesn't have much to do with enjoying the water or the pool, instead is one subtle one who talks about sadness and escaping, literally swimming to the ocean floor, in order to run away from all the troubles. It can sounds a little dark, but I promise it doesn't feel too much like that, it's a really nice song and I loved it! I totally recommend it to you guys! Let me share it with you!

And that's it for this Friday! Wish you all a really great day! I see you next time!
