In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone.

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!
